Allow adjustments to the path curves of a Freeform gradient line, please.
Please allow adjustments to the path curves of a Freeform gradient line, like handles.
Right now all that is allowed, is to add more points along the path, and the ability to move those points around, and the path/curves move automatically based up the shape of the object.
Please add selection point handles, so we can edit and adjust the curves of the line.

Save export settings for individual files
Please put together all the wishes regarding being able to save export settings for individual files, that means custom settings for means, path, formats, prefix and all!
Otherwise I have to change the settings, which are quite specific, every single time I export from a file.4 votes -
DWG export to have thumbnail/preview
DWG files exported from Illustrator have no way to be previewed without opening. DWG files saved from AutoCAD have a thumbnail image included in the file that can be shown by Bridge CC or windows file explorer. but illustrator doesn't seem to export these correctly. This makes it impossible to sort through large amounts of DWG files.

Ability to link SVG for datasets
When using variables in Illustrator, you're able to set an image as a dynamic object, so long as it's linked (File > Place, then check Link), as opposed to embedded. This means that I can't set SVGs as variables, since they can't be linked, and have to convert them into images in order to do so.

Image Trace options
I’ve been an Adobe user for over 20 years. I used to love using Streamline to convert raster to vector and then make adjustments to the levels before going to the direct select tool for further adjustments. I suggest adding in the adjustment/level options to Image Trace as Streamline used to have rather than just default vectorizing of images. Please do this. I’ve been meaning to suggest this for years. Thanks!

"EmojiOne Color" font in AI CC 2019
"EmojiOne Color" is a "color-only" font in AI CC 2019. Although it has "fallback" B&W characters that work fine in earlier versions of Illustrator the font CANNOT be change to B&W in AI CC 2019. This is a HUGE flaw in the font and should be made to work in either color or black and white mode.

Auto live paint
I very often colour linework using live paint. This is a great tool but if I could automatically colour every shape it would save a lot of time. At the moment I have to manually click every area I want to fill. Could this be done with one click? Many thanks.
4 votesYes, there is a way to fill many areas at once.
A double-click on a fill (or a stroke) should apply the currently chosen color to all sections that has this color (unless these are not separated with strokes).
A triple-click will change the color of all sections of the same color, no matter if these are separated or not.
Same applies to Live Paint Selection Tool.

Install brushes to Illustrator
Install custom brushes to Illustrator
With photoshop, you can install custom brushes. With Illustrator, you have to make any custom brush yourself which can be tedious and very difficult.4 votesIllustrator for desktop allows to save and import brushes with an ease.
To save brushes, just save a document with your brushes as an .ai file. You don’t have to have them on canvas for this, just in Brushes panel.
To load brushes, click the Brush Libraries Menu button in the bottom left corner of the Brushes panel (looks like a bookshelf). Choose Other Library, locate the brush library .ai file.

Remove the default 72 PPI resolution
There is NO device on Earth (except in museums) that have 72 PPI screen.
However, EVERY new screen-intended document created today in Illustrator and Photoshop STILL made with only 72 PPI by default.With this laughable resolution, all raster effects are rendered, looking just bad on any screen.
Since 72 PPI is the actual World Standard, it confuses many Adobe users and it has to be changed for good.
Today's computer screens have at the very least 120 PPI, but the phones for which many projects are created have a way higher pixel density of 450 PPI and more. The…

Add middle click to close document
Hello!
It would be convenient if we could middle click on the open document tab (not just the x), to close the document, similarly to like the tabs behave in the any web browser.
It's sometimes inconvenient to aim for the x, and they change location as I close a bunch of documents.

Snap document window to artboard size
In Photoshop, when you have a document open you can drag the window bigger/smaller, revealing the 'canvas' around your document.
If you then use 'CMD -' or 'CMD +' to zoom in or out of the document, the actual document window snaps back to the size of your PSD.
Illustrator acts differently - if you zoom in or out, the document window itself remains the same size - you just see more of less of the document's canvas around your artboard. It's a pain, as if you have several documents open that you want to be able to see at…

Allow to locally customize the assets from CC library within a document, similar to components in Figma
I'm working for a company who makes workwear and we're having an issue with the creative cloud library.
We've made al of these symbols in the creative cloud libraries, but we've seen that we can't manipulate these in 1 document.
For example, we're making a coat.
First we take the front out of the library, then the sleeves and a pocket.
We see that it is impossible to change these objects in this new document.
These drawings from the library are added in the document like pictures, that's why we can't colour them for example.
We obviously don't want to…4 votes -
Cursor Key distance > 1296px
For some reason, the Cursor Key distance can't be bigger than 1296px. I would like it to be as big as the document maximum.
For some tasks, such as making big pattern tiles, it is very convenient to have a big distance under these keys.4 votes -

Shortcut for the SMOOTH tool please.
N brings the pencil... I need something for the SMOOTH tool.
4 votesYou can assign your own hotkeys to different tools with Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
Also, you can pick Pencil, hit Enter )or double-click the tool’s button) to open the Pencil Tool Options dialog and check 'Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool' — this will allow to quickly temporarily access Smooth on the go while you are working with Pencil.
Same applies to the Brush and Blob Brush stools by default.

Optimization of Vector Assets in CC Libraries
When you're dragging an Illustrator asset in a CC Library, the asset is placed in a default New Document Profile which come with Default document Libraries such as Swatches, Symbols, Graphic Styles and Brushes.
In my screenshot example the file size of simple shapes is 355 ko in place of 74 ko without these unused assets.
It will be great to base the CC Libraries Vector Assets creation on an "empty of default assets" Document Profiles (RVG, CMYK…).
Thanks for the great work the Team is doing!
