1. Control which tool is activated by the eraser end of my stylus

   I do all my work with a drawing stylus and have never found the native Eraser tool to be useful. Instead I use Astute's Opacity Brush, which lets you quickly paint opacity masks for the selected objects.

   I'd love to be able to access it by flipping my stylus over and eraser-clicking, but that only gets the Eraser tool.

   Before the Opacity Brush came up I've had other thoughts for this - how about assigning the eraser end of the stylus to your favorite selection tool instead of constantly hitting hotkeys to switch to and from it, for instance?

2. Display 'Save' in those History steps which were followed by saving, as Photoshop does it

   It can be hard to navigate History, and when we do, we often need to see specific points of it.
   Save operations are important turning points, and seeing 'Save' added to those operations that happened right before saving happened works great... in Photoshop, but not in Illustrator. Please add these.

3. Highlight the current color in Recent Colors section, just as in Swatches

   I love Recent Colors. Can you please make it so that selecting an object highlights its color in the Recent Colors section, the same way it does in Swatch Tiles?

4. Allow to control font for Swatch Info objects

   Well... if one wants to choose font size for text in Swatch Info objects while making one — tough luck. We can only set the color chip size.

   Since Preview is completely missing now (here’s the request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49681244), it’s hard to evaluate if text would be large enough to accompany them.
   Even if you change the font size after the Swatch Info is created — won’t do, each text line is a separate type objects, their leading won’t be adjusted, the card background rectangles won’t adapt!

   One can think this font is based on the [Normal Paragraph Style], and we can tweak it (beforehand!) to set the font size...
   But it’s only half-truth. While the font family and the font style indeed follow the style, the font size is always 10 points.

   So, team, if you look how people in different tutorial videos have to dance around this stupid limitation, to guess the card size to fit the font size relatively, and then scale the whole object... I hope you will fill shame at least.

   If you are afraid to overload new users with controls in the dialog — at least make an option to scale font size to fit color chip size... or make it a relative value even.

   Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Ai today offers dedicated controls for the font inside of Swatch Info objects.. all but the font family — these use the one used by the [Normal Paragraph Style].

5. Please allow currentColor for SVG export

   Using SVG in web development frequently requires manual editing of the svg code, to use currentColor instead of a fixed fill or stroke colour.

7. Make it possible to select objects using a path.

   It would be very useful to be able select individual objects in a document using a path which touches each of those objects or lies entirely within the path, or both, with each option being selectable by the user.

8. Allow to set text format for CMYK values and other data in Swatch Info objects

   The data for CMYK values in cards inside of Swatch Info is formatted with commas.
   I’d like to have the ability to customize it: spaces, hyphens, as C100 M50 Y0 K0, etc.

9. Allow to use custom user templates for Swatch Info objects

   Swatch Info is OK (if completed!), but there is not enough customization currently.
   Take a look what an awesome ColorList script by Katja Bjerrum offers: https://productivista.com/make-a-list-of-colors-from-your-selection/ — we can set our own shapes before making a color legend.
   We could have done it semi-automatically after creating a Swatch Info, with Global Edit, to replace all chips with a custom shape... but for some reason these rectangles are immune to Global Edit (as it often happens, new features get loosely integrated with existing functions...)

   This actually also includes text parameters, but perhaps it’s a separate request... Sure, the font is the one defined by the [Normal Paragraph style], but text formatting is not only the font family...

10. Allow to quickly enable or disable all Text Options for cards in Swatch Info objects

    Text cards for Swatch Info objects can have a lot of items displayed.
    I found that I either need all of these or none often. The only way to choose between these two major modes is to patiently toggle each one manually.
    ...meanwhile in Asset Export we can easily choose to use All or No Artboards with dedicated buttons. Perhaps there should be a way to do the same thing here?
    It should be allowed both when creating and when editing a Swatch Info object.

11. Allow to copy the area value from the Info panel

    Why can we copy a HEX color from the Color panel, but can’t copy the area of it (or any other value as well)?

    In some cases we need to get the value to share with someone, and now Ai wants us to retype it.

    Sometimes we also need these to be placed on canvas — but I think it’s a job for the Dimension tool? Why Measure and Dimension are different tools in the first place?

13. Remove quantization / rounding for the Curvature tool

    Curvature tool is handy, but it places new points based on a hidden grid. The grid is screen-spaced, and it means the step of it stays the same on the screen, no matter what level of zoom we have.

    Once a point is places and the mouse button / pen is released, we can move this point freely, with no rounding!
    Why can’t we have this behavior for new points? Why limit new points in precision?

14. Show gradient annotator for Live Paint selections

    Version 29.3 finally allows to adjust gradients for individual Live Paint regions on canvas: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/35930962

    While these can indeed be adjusted now, the annotator is still missing.
    I suppose it requires more hacking to make it work, but still I’d like to see the controls on canvas, to tweak the look and not remaking it from scratch each time.

15. Always call guides as 'guides'

    Open Layers and Control panels.

    Enable rulers and drag a guide from one.
    Take a look at how the selected guide is called:
    — <Guide> in Layers
    — Path in Control

    Now create a rectangle and a line, and also draw a path with the Pencil.
    Convert all three to guides with View > Guides > Make Guides (Cmd/Ctrl + 5).
    Compare the names:
    — <Rectangle> and <Line> but <Guide> in Layers
    — Rectangle and Line but Path in Control

    Sure, these first two are technically live shapes (and have dedicated controls in Control)... but also are guides. Why Ai is inconsistent with it? Why aren’t some guides thus named as 'guides'?

    I can’t say a guide dragged from the ruler is NOT a path, it is, and it has its length limited to the canvas, and can be dragged sideways or converted into a simple path, or a live line (that’s why this request about making guides to behave more like in InDesign exists: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37211029).

    But again, why are these called guides (while being paths), but manually converted paths change their names in Layers only when aren’t live shapes?

    Thanks to Enisio for the notification.

    Open Layers and Control panels.

    Enable rulers and drag a guide from one.
    Take a look at how the selected guide is called:
    — <Guide> in Layers
    — Path in Control

    Now create a rectangle and a line, and also draw a path with the Pencil.

16. Add Fresco Vector Brush technology into Illustrator

    Not sure why this still hasn't happened yet, but the vector brush in Fresco is superior to any of the vector brushes Illustrator currently provides for traditional style drawing/inking. Be great to have it for desktop vector drawing. Especially if there aren't' any intentions of bringing Fresco into OSX...

19. Add "Embed Images" to Menu/Actions

    Working with multiple print files requires manual embedding of each linked image, which is time-consuming. Please add "Embed Images" to either:

    • The Actions panel for batch processing, or
    • The menu system to allow keyboard shortcut assignment

    This would significantly improve workflow efficiency in print production environments.

20. Allow to apply different join corners for a live stroke per point

    There is an existing request to allow to have different caps for start/end of a stroked path, made by Von Glitschka: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39306955

    I think an ability to choose corners per point can be very helpful as well.
