1. Add an option to not zoom to the artboard at newly created files

   When you create a document in Ai, it first gets created and they Ai fits the artboard in window. For me, at Windows, it also happens with a noticeable delay, which sucks.
   But in the first place — why does it do it? I never asked for it, I want it to be at 100% and have it fitted only when the artboard is larger than my viewport, not smaller!
   I’d like to have at least a key value to edit somewhere in Prefs file to disable this auto-zooming.

2. Drag tools from one toolbar to another

   When I setup tool panels for various reasons), I can’t just drag it between tool panels.
   The only way to do it now is to remove the tool first in the first toolbox and add it again in the second one. Each panel has its own Edit mode and tools get dragged only within an edited panel :(

3. Fractional resolution value in Document Raster Effects Settings

   I live in a metric part of the world and use millimeters as my main measuring unit, including type, strokes, and raster effects.

   Since inch a s SI unit, it now equals exactly 2.54mm.
   For me it means 254ppi is 100ppcm, 127ppi is 50ppcm, and instead of 300ppi I use 120ppcm (equals 304.8ppi) — which gives me exact integer dimensions for all of images I use. The grid becomes meaningful and all objects behave and befriend each other.

   Unfortunately for me, Illustrator plays this game not as good as I want it to — I can’t enter 304.8 to Resolution field of Document Raster Effects Settings — Ai rounds it down to 304.

   Funny thing is I CAN Rasterize with 304.8ppi set alright... but not Export, because Ai then round it up to 305ppi.

   Veeery consistent.
   Photoshop by the way allows to use PPCM in Preferences.

4. API for getting the reflection/flip property of an image frame

   We would like to get the flip property of an image frame..
   It can be in a similar way to the way we get the rotation by passing the matrix:
   AIAPI void (*AIRealMatrixGetRotate) ( const AIRealMatrix *m, AIReal *angle );

   If this is not possible, then as a workaround we can get some notifies, for example: kFlipHorizontalNotifier or kFlipVerticalNotifier in order to know that the user selects to flip the image.

   Thanks,
   Chen

5. Please re-introduce 3D VECTORS

   I know, I know, "3D (Classic)" is still in the Effect/3D and Materials" menu, but the "Classic" designation means it's on the chopping-block.

   Please do not get rid of 3D VECTORS! Adobe Dimensions used to be so completely awesome (it was simple, easy and perfect) and that was made "Classic", too. 3D vectors are far superior for illustration than all the trendy raster stuff.

   PLEASE BRING BACK 3D VECTORS

   Thank you!

6. Font Height Options - "Cap Height" option by default

   The new font height option is great!

   However, working in the sign trade, everyone including our clients (who are mostly Architects) specify text by cap height so we are constantly changing the default Em size to cap height.

   It would save a lot of time and also eliminate any potential size issues with someone having the wrong option selected which could be very costly.

7. Allow eyedropper to ignore locked layers.

   Allowing the eyedropper to optionally ignore the contents of locked layers would be very useful. Having a locked layer with transparency above an active layer and trying to sample a line weight, only to sample the fill or other attributes of a transparent object that you're working "through" is very frustrating.

8. Absolute mode that always sets a fill a single click and stroke with the Alt+click/right click

   Setting a color for fill and stroke depends on what is 'active' in the toolbox. This is a relative mode mode and it's unique for Adobe apps (and their imitators/imitators).

   What about giving a direct way of setting fill/stroke, without remembering which is in focus now? somewhat like Corel Draw does?
   Give us an option to be able to set a fill with a single click, and a stroke with the Alt+click (and additionally bringing it to focus), or right click.

9. Convert to path object - keep object name

   When I rasterise a letter or text in Photoshop, the layer keeps the original name.

   Why can't Illustrator do the same? I type the letter A and the object in layers has the name "A". If I now change the letter to a Path object, the group is no longer called "A" but "group". What is still ok with one letter, becomes very annoying with 500 letters. Especially when it comes to special characters like ́ ˘ ̧ ̒ ̋ ̏ ̀ ̌ ̦ ̊ ̄ - ̨ ̣ ̇ ̷ ̃ ̈ ^, which are difficult to read in the palette layer anyway.

11. Effect units bound to global units.

    I am working with "mm" most of the time. However, when I use effects, I have to guess the right amount, since those are in "pixel" most of the time.
    As an example, feather or blur, and many more.

    It would be nice if the units would change with the units used in the file.

12. Guide Labels

    I would love the ability to label my guides. In fact maybe a hole overhaul to the guide system. In After Effects and Premiere you can add Composition Markers, give them comments and adjust their perimeters. It would be great if you could do that for guides.

    On the rulers will show a marker. Double clicking the marker will bring up the Guide Controls. or when you select 'New Guide' from the drop down menu, Guide Controls takes place of the window that currently gets displayed.

    I would love this across all programs: Photoshop, After Effects, and the like, not just Illustrator.

14. Save a Copy from Adobe Cloud Document.

    I've noticed that when you use the new Save to Cloud Documents feature (which is very nice and convenient) the option to Save a Copy is disabled.

    I'm working on a manual to be viewed as a PDF on mobile devices, so I have to constantly save a PDF copy of my .aic document in order to send it to myself via WhatsApp (which is the target) and review it.

    Not having the Save a Copy option is quite inconvenient. Could you guys enable it?

    Thanks a lot!

15. Add an option to Outline pathfinder command to keep original strokes

    Outline command is great when you need to cut your path on every intersection. But sadly, it also sets all strokes to None. Most of the times this is not I want. Every time when I see this function explained to somebody else, I see them adding "...but sadly it will make all your strokes vanish".
    Please make an option to keep strokes.

16. Highlight/Select values within box on panels on single click

    I am unsure if this is OS specific or not, but it would be a welcome quality-of-life change. I use an Apple laptop and a Windows desktop.

    Within Photoshop on Mac, if you click within the 'Character Size' box inside the Properties panel the entirety of the characters are highlighted to then be replaced. Unknown to me, this behavior is actually not consistent throughout every other Adobe program on Mac OS (as it should be).

    It seems that on Windows, the behavior is set to only highlight on a double-click as well. This isn't the end of the world but there are times where it will not register a proper double-click and will not select but a portion or just move the cursor. Even more irritating is when I am not precise enough and accidentally highlight 'pt' and not the number values.

    It is such a silly little thing, but it is an immense timesaver when you are not having to deal with this little quirk and varying behavior between programs/operating systems. Some may say "you shouldn't be handling text within Photoshop," sure...and others may point out I can just transform it using the handles...some people can be just a bit OCD at times with their values.

    Yes, it could definitely be something I get accustomed to...yet if there is/was a solution please implement or inform me. Hopefully, this doesn't become a thing where they decide to change the behavior of the outlier to be "consistent" with everything else...

18. Support SVG property 'paint-order'

    Add support for the paint-order property. By default the fill is painted and then the stroke is placed on top. The paint-order property allows this order to be defined so the stroke can be placed under the fill. Without support for this a svg can look very different than the imported version in illustrator.

    The file attached is an example of the property in use.

    Example:
    https://mdn.mozillademos.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/paint-order$samples/Examples?revision=1530134

    See the following resources:
    https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/painting.html#PaintOrder
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/paint-order

20. Gradient Swatch includes angle and position, please!

    Currently a Gradient swatch only includes color and transparency. PLEASE build Illustrator so Gradient Swatches include angle and position!

    It's a pain to have to adjust the gradient angle, after a Gradient Swatch attribute has been applied to an object. If the angle were editable and save-able (in the swatch) it would be wonderful!
