When zooming in in 23.0.3 what I am zooming in on disappears and takes several seconds to load. Frustrating & time wasting.
When zooming in in 23.0.3 what I am zooming in on disappears and takes several seconds to load. It worked fine in the previous version. It also is taking a very long time to open files that used to open quickly.

Tool for understanding storage size (bytes in file/memory) of single object or group of ojbects in document
Often Illustrator file size have very large size. And Illustrator interface at now provide no ways for understand, which objects englarge file size, and how to reduce the size.
Main question is for embedded objects (pixel images) - before embedding we can see file size, but after embedding - fields in panel becomes empty! Why?
So, please fix, at first, showing info about embedded images in Links panel, and next - create some tool for review size of currently selected group of objects.

Freezing
The image does not change. I go to a new tab with a different file and the same image is showing.
I go to use the Align tab and STILL showing the Layers tab. I have to completely quit illustrator. This has been happening since the update. This is costing me production time. I have to quit illustrator and reopen at least 10 times a day.2 votes -
Make Layer / Link Thumbnails a Workspace / Application-Level Preference
I switch off all Layer, Link and Transparency thumbnails to improve viewing performance in complex documents, but I have to do this for EVERY customer file opened.
With the option to have my saved Workspace over-ride the viewing preference saved in each document, all files would open to the user's preferred setup.

Illustrator CC 23.0.1 keeps reopening after closing a file
After I close out a file in Illustrator a blank window pops up ready to make another file. Very irritating. If I wanted to start another file I would open it manually. Otherwise I have to close out the new window to do some other task on my computer. How do I make it stop opening back up??Attached is the window that keeps popping up.

Lag from Adobe Draw to Desktop application in Mac
There is a lag from Adobe Draw App (on the iPad) to Desktop application in Mac. It is seamless from Ipad to Microsoft. I have to restart my Mac to get the transfer working. It is a pain as I am between tasks, to have to close all my files to restart the applications. Please look into it, appreciate it!

crashed and erased my project file? from two hard drives?
Just letting you know I just updated AI and it just crashed and the project file I was working on (that I had saved to two separate external hard drives) is nowhere to be found now, it didn't show up in my recent files and now I have searched where it was saved on both hard drives and it is completely gone. Awesome. So I guess my request is that if illustrator crashes make it to where it at least doesn't delete the project completely, and autosave backup would be nice but I'd really rather not have to start projects…

selective display of graphic elements
When working with large files for large prints, we often run with slow-down issues due to having many vectorized images and transparency modes. Normally one knows who is the culprit and it would be nice to be able to select some sort of 'low-res' representation of the heavy graphics so it does not slow down the machine so much.

Shortcut Customization like Corel
Time Saving Shortcut Customization like Corel. There are so many extra steps you have to take instead of being able to create your own shortcut keys. Align/Distribute is just one of many.

Illustrator is full of bugs, what is happening?
I've never experience such poor performance, it took me more than 3 days to complete a simple logo because Illustrator is extremely slow, full of bugs, pixelated vector, invisible layers wont go invisible, crashing without saving even when I have saved my preferences to save files when crash occur. Indesign has been giving some issues too but I didn't really had the time to deal with the app to figure it out more. I just wish Illustrator would work smoothly every time I work on it, is extremely painful to waste all that time trying to figure it out what…

Path selection sensitivity in Illustrator
You've finally made the node & anchor point sizes adjustable - HURRAY! However now when trying to directly select a path, i instead have to click on an area NEAR it but not ON it, so as not to pick up the other nearby paths. Furthermore, instead of being able to click in a blank area and drag my selection tool to pick up the paths Id like, it picks up everything near enough to where I've clicked in that blank space. It NEVER used to do that. Ive tried adjusting all the settings to no avail. its like now…

Better performance over networks by automatically copying files locally...
We store all our files on a network drive. Now I know that illustrator performance improves if I copy the network files locally before opening them in illustrator, but this is a major pain because I have to copy them back afterwards and if there are linked assets involved it becomes too much having to verify that all the links are pointing to the correct location.
It would be nice if AI had an option to do this copying automatically so that all non-local files that are opened are copied first into a temporary local directory and then saved back…

Allow to assign a keyboard shortcut to change Constrain angle in Preferences
I would like to see access to Doc prefs via shortcuts / actions. So for example when I press F3 it changes Constrain Angle to 30 degrees. Currently use a keyboard macro made for this but it’s not very good. In general if we could access more things via shortcuts and actions it would make work flows more efficient.

Gen AI Assisted Live Trace
So far, Gen AI in illustrator is just a fresh coat of paint on live trace, a raster query and then just live trace.
Where it would help immensely, is if you could direct AI to clean up live trace results.
My use case is I'm doing a lofi photo trace, of a contrasted, shaded image, white over red. By default, the edges of the white area are noisy and Illustrator adds several shades for this area. What I'd like to be able to do is prompt AI to "simplify white edges" or "trace behind white areas", to enhance the…

Live preview missing in many tools
In these 2 tools:
— Create Object Mosaic
— Transform Effect
I see a live preview toggle is missing.If the development team can add it, then it will make them more intuitive and smooth.
The Transform effect has Preview only, however a A LIVE PREVIEW would be better and faster.

Illustrator doesn't let me use 3D objects and it automatically closes every time I want to use that option
When I installed Illustrator files from the Adobe Materials website to use with 3D objects, it stopped working, when I try to select something and convert it to 3D, Illustrator automatically closes. I already reinstalled the program but it's still the same. How do I be able to use it again?

Please improve the functionality of the files when multiple artboards are designed and the design is complex in nature.
Illustrator is hanging or freezing when complex path designs are being designed or multiple dartboards are designed in a single file.
I am using a MacBook Pro M2 Chip which is known for its processing and still facing so much issues with heavy and complex files.1 vote -
AMD RADEONのグラフィックボードのサポートと、メモリの割り当て機能追加のリクエスト
Afinity Designer2.1.1と、Adobe Illustrator 27.8.1のパフォーマンスの違いを、複数のアートボードがある、.ai ファイルを開いて検証した所、
圧倒的な速さでファイルを開けるAfinity Designerに対して、1分以上遅く元祖Illustratorは開きました。いつまでもNVIDIAのグラボしかサポートせず、RADEONは対応していない点や、メモリ割り当て機能が存在しない為、パフォーマンスが、劇的に落ちています。
Adobe Illustratorは、Adobe製品の中でも、「要」のアプリケーションです。そのソフトウェアを、最適化して更にパフォーマンスを高速化出来なければ、効率の良い業務がいつになっても出来ません。
パフォーマンスが遅くて、未だに完全に試していない機能もいくつかございます。
Mac OS Xも発売当初、ユーザーから、パフォーマンス！パフォーマンス！と猛烈にリクエストされて、現在に至るわけですから、御社も「要」のソフトウェアの更なるパフォーマンス向上をリクエスト申し上げます。
以上、宜しくお願い申し上げます。
