1. Non-uniform scale tool by angle

   Using available AI tools I have to twist and dance to perform non-uniform scale by angle.

   Right now I have to do this:
   1. Rotate path to make in straight oriented (it's not an default ellipse, it's manually traced path)
   2. Reset bounding box
   3. Rotate path backwards
   4. Turn on bounding box (I work with it turned off)
   5. Scale using bounding box at angle

   If I use Scale tool instead, and set point to a center,
   AI will scale path uniformly ONLY.
   What a stupidity is this? I even remember custom plugin tool that allowed desired action, but it doesn't work for a long time.

2. Slug

   As part of my daily workflow, all my art has to have a slug, when i put all the information about the file, date, time, user, CMYK and spot colors used, company logo, etc.

   Editable and complete slug option will be appreciated, see attached an example of my manual slug, i use in conjunction with a plugin which puts date time, the user, etc automatically, but i don't like plugins, I want part of the Adobe illustrator Software.

   See attached an example

4. Unable to Resize Tool Panels (vertical axis)

   Cannot 'grab' the bottom edge of a panel in the right column to move up or down. Panel size seems 'locked.' This causes lots of wasted space in the right column tool set UI. This problem exists in both the Essentials workspace and the Essentials Classic. This was not an issue in previous versions of Ai. Thanks for addressing this bug!

   Request to Contact Support  ·  Raghuveer responded

   I am closing the ticket due to lack of response.
   Please get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com or any of the other support channels.
   Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

5. Update Actions to record more features

   In order of importance would love to see illustrator actions record

   1) the pdf preset, when saving to pdf
   2) save as location next to existing file as an option - i currently save to desktop and manually move the file.
   3) layer name when cut copying pasting, selecting all
   4) find font to not need the font loaded to work. We use this to eradicate old type 1 fonts that are buggy and crash computer.
   5) new swatch to remember the global swatch name when recording.

7. Find color in artwork

   Sometimes I have a stray color that I cannot find in the artwork. It would be nice if there was a way I could click on the swatch and say find color and it would highlight everything that color was used on.

8. link panel shows what layer the (missing) link is on and/or makes 'go to link' work on hidden layers too.

   When links are missing that are on a hidden layer there is no way to easily spot them and check on in multilayered files. Since the GoToLink function only works on active layers, there is no other way but showing ALL layers and then using this function, remembering the layer and then hide the layers again; a painstaking procedure with large multilayered files. Would be nice if the link panel would simply state on which layer the missing link resides. Or make the GoToLink function automatically make the appropriate layer visible, like when pasting onto a hidden layer with 'paste remembers layers' on.

9. Resizing Area Type using Transform or Properties panel should not transform text inside

   When you try to set a size for an Area Type text in the Transform pane, it currently distorts the text along with changing the size of the area. This strikes me as inconsistent with resizing the area from the bounding box resize handles, and also undesirable (am I missing a use-case where you'd want the text to be distorted in this situation?)

   I recently became aware there are width/height inputs in Type > Area Type Options but these are cumbersome.

   I propose the Width / Height inputs in the Transform pane behave as in Area Type Options.

10. 'Tab' and 'Shift-Tab' to navigate when renaming Assets

    Issue:
    While renaming assets in the Asset palette there's currently no way to move to the next or previous asset using the keyboard. When there are a large number of assets this makes for a tedious process.

    Goal:
    Allow the renaming of multiple assets without having to use the mouse

    Suggested Solution:
    Utilize 'Tab' / 'Shift-Tab' keys to navigate to the next / previous assets, e.g. how renaming layers works in Photoshop.

11. Keyboard shortcut to hide/show selected layer / object

    Option to assign a keyboard shortcut for hide/show selected layer / object. Currently you have to click on the eye icon, which is pretty cumbersome. (for eg Photoshop has this feature, I think).

    (I'm on a project where you need to trace this huge sketch with ready made elements and so toggle layer visibility is a fast way to see how things are aligning.) Cheers!

13. More advanced 'Add Anchor Points' function: selected segments only, number of points added, hotkey, etc.

    'Add Anchor Points' is quite archaic at the moment. My requests:
    1. Allow to apply to selected parts of paths, instead of the complete path.
    2. Add a dialog to set the number of subdivisions / points added per segment.
    3. Allow to assign it to a keyboard shortcut
    4. When adding to a curved segment, the new anchor points should be smooth, not broken.

14. Issue with Saving Group Hierarchy in SVG Export

    I am experiencing an issue where the group hierarchy is not being preserved when exporting or saving files in SVG format. No matter which variant I try, the user-defined hierarchy from the original file is lost in the SVG output.

    Attached is a screenshot comparing the results of exports from different versions of the software, highlighting the issue. Despite trying multiple approaches, I have not found a way to save the groups as they appear in the original file.

15. Make Revert operation into a History step we can undo

    Shielding Revert this with a confirmation does NOT work.
    Having confirmations is a bad UX solution, and it’s known now — it seems like only Adobe is not aware.
    People don’t read these, and either learn to not notice these or to skip these.

    What apps should do instead is to allow a mistake, but then giving a chance to Undo it.
    Like modern email clients now do — you can undo sending an email, because there is a hidden delay.

    Photoshop does NOT have a confirmation, but it allows us to UNDO the Revert, unlike other apps.

17. Pin Contextual Task Bar position (like in Photoshop)

    Hi Adobe,

    While I love the idea of the contextual toolbar, I'm sure I am joined by many in my opinion that it really gets in the way a lot of time, covering up parts of the design you'd like to see, making it hard to resize or move an object precisely and so on.

    I'm extremely happy that I can just permanently pin the bar in the bottom of the screen (or wherever I want it) in Photoshop, but this option is entirely missing in Illustrator.

    The bar will remain where it is for the duration of my work after I move it, but the position is not retained going from document to document or when I restart Illustrator. Can you PLEASE add an option to permanently pin the position like in Photoshop?

    It's either that or I'll have to deactivate it entirely as it's more annoying than it is helpful when it gets in the way all the time. The benefit just doesn't outweight the annoyance, I'm sorry.

18. Select Same Appearance on a mixed selection

    If I select an object with a particular appearance, I can call Select > Same > Appearance command to select all object which have the exact same stack of the appearance attributes.

    But if I have two objects with different appearances, and want to select all objects that have the same appearance as any of them (either of two!) — nothing is going to happen!

    The command is active, but the selection stays the same... Not cool.

    Sure, I can first find the first batch, lock or hide it, and then do the same for the second object, then unlock/unhide all to get a selection I need... but this requires nothing else locked or hidden :(

19. Select Compound Shapes by visible parts only

    When working with Compound Shapes, I don't' want to 'feel' the original paths which in many cases cover paths beneath.
    Make it work like a Clipping Mask.
    Maybe af preference to select only visible parts is a solution.

20. Allow to change the order of appearance attributes for TEXT and set the stroke below the fill in Appearance panel

    When I try to move the "stroke" row in appearance panel to move below the "fill" row, the row returns to previous position on top.
    This is happening to me since the - I think - 11 version of Illustrator.
    Now I have version 27.1.1 and windows 11 pro. Nothing changed.
