Would like to be able to entries in the Appearance Panel and perform Pathfinder functions to them. .
Example: Select 2 strokes in the appearance panel, one transformed some distance from the other, and apply the pathfinder Unite function (Fx) and have them become functionally one entry on one layer of the selected object.. This could eliminate some what are sometimes complicated procedures when outputting files to various RIP/machines/printers.

"Masking" as a live effect
I think it would be very useful to have a Mask live effect, so that individual fills/strokes in the appearance panel could be masked. The actual mask could come from a specific layer/group in the current file, imported from a file on your HD, or from a new type of Mask library.

glow
the glow selection effect to be able to have some form of HARD line which is what I think most of us want to be able to put around a photo clipping so that the background and the product photo can live together. so basic a stroke setting

Arc Warp effect and envelope distortion presets skew vertical lines
The Arc upper / lower warp effect isn't very good! It distorts too much!!!! Please improve!!!! It's been like this for years.

Introduce a way to control the cross-section for 3D Inflate profile
For "Inflate", it would be cool to have a curves/profile editor to modify the cross-section more than the Volume slider currently allows. Currently it seems that turning down the volume essentially pancakes the object - and sometimes that's a good look! But it would be nice to have the option to retain an overall "bubble" feel like the object has at 100% Volume.

Optimization of Rounded Rectangle in Illustrator Effects
When using the Rounded Rectangle of Illustrator Effects, I hope that the upper and lower values can be set separately, because when this effect is applied to text, the upper and lower heights are not even.

Photoshop効果
Photoshop効果のぼかしに移動を追加して欲しい。
これによってグラデーションや透明によるマスクで処理するよりも簡易に出来るようになるし、なによりもテキストの処理に可能性が広がる。1 vote -
Reduce / Extend path effect
Like in After Effects, it would be very useful to have an effect or an option in the Stroke panel like the "reduce path" animation option to draw more complex strokes (instead of duplicate them), like in the RubberHose plug-in. Could be useful to draw characters or set up files to export to AE.
Thanks.1 vote -

Neon glow effect in illustrator should be simple, we should be able to do in single click like that we do in canva
can we use scripting
// Suppress the warning dialog that appears when running external scripts
app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", false);// Select the first layer
var myLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[0];// Create a new offset path effect
var myOffsetEffect = myLayer.effects.add(EffectKind.OFFSET_PATH);// Set the offset distance and angle
myOffsetEffect.property(1).setValue(10); // distance
myOffsetEffect.property(2).setValue(0); // angle// Create a new Gaussian Blur effect
var myBlurEffect = myLayer.effects.add(EffectKind.GAUSSIAN_BLUR);// Set the blur radius
myBlurEffect.property(1).setValue(10); // radius// Set the blending mode to Screen
myLayer.blendingMode = BlendMode.SCREEN;// Set the opacity to 50%
myLayer.opacity = 50;1 vote -
Fit a symbol on multiple 3D objects at once
Would love that a symbol could fit on MULTIPLE objects at once, like here the bottom petal to have its symbol continue on the left one.
And I would love if I could, from the decals box, get a ctrl/right click option to duplicate one symbol. So far, I need to add it from the symbol panel again which will reset its position to the center of the object.

[3D & マテリアル]でも押し出しのべベルの方向を外側にできるようにしてほしい。
新しい3D機能[3D & マテリアル]でも押し出しのべベルの方向を外側にできるようにしてほしい。「3D(クラシック)」のべベルには内側か外側か選べるオプションが有りました。同じオプションを新しい「3Dとマテリアル」にも付けていただきたい。このオプションがないと、文字オブジェクトから金属活字のような物体を作成できません。（内側にしかできないので細くなってしまう）実にもったいない。

3D page mockup
I'd love the ability to create an open brochure or magazine, or book mockup using the new overhauled 3d tools, but the tool is currently too limited. Seems to me that what is missing is the ability to bend or warp planes after they have been tilted and rotated. There are other ways of achieving this geometry, but they feel like hacks, and the new place graphic/material capability doesn't recognize the geometry that was partly made with other tools before getting into 3d. Please keep developing the 3D features in illustrator with product mockups in mind, including publication mockups.

sombras paralelas
Hola! Les escribo ya que no puedo usar la herramienta estilizar de efectos, ya que no me permite usar sombras paralelas. He intentado usar la ayuda de ilustrator y aún así no se aplica a la imagen luego de terminar.

3D no longer vector
The new 3D tool in illustrator no longer produces vectors - after expanding appearance even simple non shaded shapes are raster objects. Which is a huge let down. I used to do a lot of vector isometric illustrations and now this completely killed my workflow. Please add an option for that. Thank you!
1 voteThe previous way of creating 3D is still there and will stay there, no worries!
Go Effect > 3D and Materials > 3D (Classic) to access the tools you need.
Also you can enable Render as Vector in 3D and Materials panel, but it’s not that powerful yet as the older method. This will be better in next releases.

Cut-off of Effects like Drop Shadow etc
Working with Flexo plates, we need to cut-off vignettes at 3%, it would be great to have an 'Advanced' section on effects like Drop Shadow to cut off at a stated percentage. Currently have to work around by Expanding the effect, exporting an the image for Photoshop, using the Curves to cut-off of 3%, then relinking the image in Illustrator which also means having multiple files...

Stop with the supersampling export artboard option!!!!!!
Seriously its becoming an irritating issue. Everytime when i want to export many artboard one short, i have to make sure i select supersampling....... otherwise it'll come out pixelated. I'm working in a fast pace environment and i can't keep double check on that option. why not just automatic just make sure the res at 72dpi come out the best appearance? Please fix this. Because if someone wants it to be lower appearance than hey, pls do click this more option. Really irritate me. Here is an image. Left, supersampling, right is not.

Automatisches Textfeld, das sich an den Text anpasst
Bei Infografiken werden kurze Texte oft mit farbigen Flächen hinterlegt. Cool wäre eine Funktion in Illustrator, welche einen Textblock oder eine Textzeile automatisch mit so einer Fläche hinterlegt. Optional könnte man Farbe, Eckenradius, Transparenz, Grösse (über den Text hinaus) usw. bestimmen.

Effects ( fx ) drag and drop
Just like in Abode Indesign, when you apply an effect to type or object all you have to do is drag & drop the "fx" icon in the appearance bar to the type or object you wish to apply that effect to.
Adding this same feature will increase productivity when adding multiple effects and create a more cohesive work from program to program.
