Improve Blob Brush
Hi, I use very often the Blob Brush tool, I think it could be a real plus to make more with it. First, to add constraint between 2 points of click . Two, make more steps between precise and rounded in the option panel. and Three make the same thing for the eraser too, because it seems to be the same as the blob brush but in negative. Is it technically possible?

Please make default character styles accessible by all new illustrator documents and easy to manage and edit.
Please make it much, much easier to cause Illustrator to default to a common set of character and paragraph styles. Having to go into a hidden user folder to modify print.ai is an insult. In the styles menu, please include a "save to common styles". I have thousands of lines of code that automate adobe illustrator, and every time the software is updated everything comes crashing down. Having a shared, common repository of character styles that are available in every document should be simple and easy to manage.

Please add support for AMD Radeon Pro 5700
I have a new iMac 27" 2020 and just learned, to my disappointment, that my graphics card is not supported. I have an AMD Radeon Pro 5700, I think the standard for the new iMac is a Radeon Pro 5500 XT (which is also not supported).
This causes Illustrator to crash at least once or twice a day with a GPU Error report and it then automatically deactivates GPU Performance, which makes Illustrator super slow and laggy.
I know the iMac 2020 is very new, but since more people will be getting it over time it seems reasonable to support…4 votes -

Scale Multiple Objects Separately
I wish there was a way to simultaneously scale a set of objects. Say I have 20 shapes that are all different sizes, but I want them to all be 200pxH x _W. It would be nice to be able to select them all and choose the point to scale from, as usual, but then have them all scale to the size given - so some might shrink, some might enlarge, etc. depending on their previous sizes. And it would be nice to turn on or off the skew/constrain proportions. Seems kinda surprising that this functionality isn't in Ai. If…

Place all pages of a PDF or AI file as links - same as InDesign
Working at a design studio, we create digital proofs that are set up on a template so our proof pages all look streamlined. We use one working file (.AI) and place that file as linked images into a separate proof file (.AI).
Currently you can only place one page of the AI or PDF file at a time. This can be really tedious when there are a dozen or more images we want to place. We like to maintain the link so that we don't need to export files to relink to the proof file every time we want a…

Min Stroke width when adding a profile
I have wanted this to be a feature for over a year now.
As many of us know, we can simply add a profile shape to strokes. We can also create our own profiles! The process of creating profiles is not very user friendly in my opinion.
I think it would be a great idea to be able to state which profile you want for your stroke, and then an addition option comes up that gives you 1 extra boxes:
Minimum stroke weight for the stroke profile
Obviously the "max" stroke weight is changed in the "Weight" section already.
Most…

Enable Width Tool for brush strokes
Wouldn't it be logic when the Width Tool could be used to fine tune brush strokes?
Let's start to make it available for round brushes.4 votes -
Color Theme tool like in InDesign
Would love to see this implemented in Illustrator as I, like many others, like to import JPEGS or screen grabbed colour samples to take colors from it manually. It would be awesome to have a colour theme generated from those images that could work within Illustrator and then used across the adobe library. Also this might be something that could also allow you to select an artboard of choice and generate the top 5 colors of that illustration.

Right click menu for typography
One of my biggest pet peeves working with fonts in Illustrator is when I am switching fonts within a document. When I highlight copy then right click to bring up the menu to change to a "recent" font, I have to scroll through the "fonts" option which sometimes engages to open but has a huge delay because it has to read ALL my fonts first. Why not reverse the order of these two menu items? I believe it would be a nice enhancement everyone would enjoy.

Tool nesting groups
I'm on a laptop. With the nested tools off to my right you can organize them to be in little clusters when you use them. Its great. When you have the three window options for color / gradient / swatches it would be nice to be able to click and drag a swatch onto the tab of one of the nested sets for a second and have it switch to the underlying window. For example, you drag a swatch square onto the gradient tab and then you could drop the swatch color right into the gradient slider. Now, you have…

Make "Transform" in top toolbar show measurments without a click
I wish Illustrator would show the dimensions of a selected object in the toolbar, like InDesign. Currently, I need to click on "toolbar" to make changes. It would be great if this didn't require an extra click. InDesign's toolbar is far more accessible.

Type on a Path Options
Type on a Path needs significant improvements.
• The Preview button should be sticky and the default position should be on.
• There need to be more alignment options including Cap Height and x Height.
• The options should be a panel not a dialogue.
• The options should be included in a style, perhaps by adding InDesign like object styles.
• The margins added when a path is converted to a type path should always start out at the ends of the path, not some arbitrary points along the path.4 votes -
Scaling Arrowheads Maintains Original Stroke Width
Is it possible to add an option in the Stroke panel which allows scaling of the arrowheads and start and end shapes (like Circle, Square, SimpleWide, Simple, ettc.) without scaling their stroke width?
Now the stroke width of the arrow or shape is increased or decreased when scaling. Please see attached images. Often times I would like to use a bigger arrowhead or shape but I have to create hem manually as scaling up results the arrowhead becoming a wider stroke than the stroke itself.
For instance - a 2 point stroke with a SimpleWide arrowhead results in the arrowhead…

Export SVG without transforms for use with web / HTML / CSS / JS
When will illustrator support options for exporting SVG without transforms?
We have to manually calculate then set the x,y,width, height attributes on an svg element from a transform: matrix or other transforms.
Attached image: I can't pull this into an html document and animate it because the inline transforms override the css transform I use to position or animate.

NO consistency between products
In Illustrator zoom is with "cmd+scroll" while in most other products/programs (e.g. Acrobat reader) the combination is "ctrl+scroll". This would be nice if it would be consistent in all products!

Shear / Skew / Slant / Angle Gradient
Angle Gradient is missing since begging, I know that can be made through the Mesh Tool, but it is not very easy for everyone to make it, there are also other ways to make it but its very difficult. I wrote many basic, essential, and missing features for Illustrator in 2011 in Features Forum web but Adobe has added a few of them, it is very important that every software needs to be filled with basic and essential features, if those are missing then software could not be the best then the rest.

Few Additional Features
Fill & Stroke Color Picker Dialogue with Single Click.
Fill and Stroke should bring its Color Picker Dialogue with a Single Click on it, which one is active we would just click and bring its Dialogue.Layers Panel.
Holding or pressing the Control key and clicking on a new layer icon in Photoshop to creates a new layer below all the layers if no layer is selected, if a layer is selected then you do the same action will create a new layer below the selected layer which really makes sense.
The same thing would be very comfortable in Illustrator…4 votes
