Turntable tooltips don’t allow to use Transform panel
I understand Ai want to advertise generative features more.
But putting the Turntable button (a 'speculative gambling machine') into the Transform panel (a dedicated panel about coordinates, sizes, 'parametric parameters' (sorry for the pun)) — is not OK.
The tooltip bubbles up occasionally and covers the panel. It won’t get hidden with 'Disable Rich Tooltips' option being disabled, while BEING one.
There are plenty of other places.
A generative menu, Control (where we can disable in with customizing a panel), in Properties’ Quick Actions (that we can keep below the line... why not customize? — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31999108), or CTB (why there’s no customization here also? — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49235456)...
Thanks to Seiji Miyazawa (here: https://x.com/onthehead/status/2043652813054783936) for noticing this.
The team believes it’s fixed in the latest 30.8.0.72.
I believe the button is still in the panel (sadly), but the behavior is less insane. Kindly check it.

Amanda, the fix is included in the latest BETA build, 30.8.0.72, not the 'General Availability' one.
You can install the Beta Ai separately from your Creative Cloud app.
After the Beta users confirm it works, the team will push it into the GA. -

This is NOT FIXED for me. I just updated to the latest Illustrator available this morning, which is showing as 30.7, not 30.8.
The Turntable button now is hidden until I select an item, but its tool tip STILL blocks the rest of the transform tools if I accidentally hover over it. This is as of August 13, 2026

The Turntable butto is still there. You will not see it initially, but it appears when you have an object selected.

Confirmed. The issue has been fixed, and the Turntable button has also been removed from the Transform panel. Thank you for addressing this.

It should not be in the Transform panel at all. You might as well put the 3D Revolve option and other transformation effects in there.
New idea from comment
This comment was upgraded into a new idea: Don't put Turntable button into the Transform panel -

Frustrating and a concentration breaker. Why is this not fixed already patched? It should have been a hotfix months ago - like 30 minutes after the Turnable button was introduced. Turn it off with the rest of the rich tooltips, give it more than 1ms hover delay, or give it a small (i) icon so folk can choose to see the popup. Only reason it's not corrected by now is because someone made the decision not to. That, or the Adobe Illustrator team doesn't use their own product.

Absolutely! This pop-up is both persistently annoying and an intolerable intrusion of advertising into the user interface. It must go — now! It is an insult to professional users.

This is an incredible time waster when using the Transform control panel. Please give us the option to turn it off or at least move it somewhere else where it doesn't cover the inputs.

Please! This shows up whether or not tool tips are turned off and makes it impossible to use the panel without moving out of it and back in (and hopefully not hovering over the turntable accidentally or it just comes back).

Stop inserting things like the turntable button in the Transform panel! It is not helpful, and it slows down productivity, which is what I thought Adobe products were trying to improve. We don't want your garbage AI "features..."

I don't even care so much that it's in the transform button, but I want the hover-over tip/promotion of it to be able to go away. I have all tool tips off, but this happens anymore I hover around the wrong portion of the transform panel. It's burying the actual options I want to use under it and making me move my mouse OFF the panel and back just to actually use it. Very counter-productive and intrusive to workflow. I haven't found a way to make it stop (except maybe using it, but I'm not spending 20 credits on that to see).

The Turntable tooltip in the Transform panel significantly disrupts the core workflow.
This issue impacts basic usability and reduces efficiency in standard production work.When entering numeric values, the hover-triggered tooltip repeatedly appears over input fields, blocking visibility and forcing repeated cursor repositioning. This directly reduces both efficiency and precision in daily production tasks.
This behavior is not a learning aid in this context but an interruption to a primary editing workflow.
Please provide one of the following:
・ an option to disable this tooltip entirely, or
・ a redesign so that it does not appear over editable numeric input fields.■ 変形パネル内の「ターンテーブル」ツールチップは、主要な作業フローを大きく妨げています。
この問題は基本的な操作性に影響し、制作ワークフロー全体の効率を低下させています。数値を入力しようとすると、ホバーによって表示されるツールチップが入力欄の上に繰り返し表示され、視認性が大きく損なわれます。その結果、カーソルの移動を何度も強いられ、スムーズな入力ができません。
この挙動により、日常的な制作作業の効率と精度が低下しています。
また、このツールチップは学習補助というよりも、実作業における明確な妨げとなっています。以下のいずれかの対応を希望します。
・ ツールチップを完全に無効化できるオプションの追加
または
・ 数値入力欄など編集領域上では表示されないUI設計への改善
