  1. Rename artboards and layers easily

    Please develop a method to easily rename artboards and layers. An option to switch between layers by pressing tab would be great. An option to find and replace text in artboard names would be perfect.
    At the moment renaming artboards is a time consuming process because you have to doubleclick every artboard separately and enter text.

    Ai now support pressing Tab while renaming difference items in panels, including layers, artboards, symbols, etc.

    Find and Replace in names is not yet an option, but there are many free scripts that allow that.

  2. Package and Export for Screens / Assets: Same As Current Document Folder button

    In Package dialog I’d like to have a button to change the path to the location of the current document.

    BTW, same button is needed in Export for Screens / Assets dialog.

  4. Files should remember proof setup

    Every time I open my files I'm having to force Illustrator back to proof as Monitor RGB. It keeps defaulting to Working CMYK which is no use on an RGB file.

    It would be great if files retained proof settings.

  5. Provide an accurate information about the position for a guide while dragging from ruler

    Dragging a Guide from the rulers is not very accurate. Please add a way to see the exact position of the guide (preferably as an overlay near the guide, but in the Ai ecosystem maybe in the Info panel). And please let it snap to exact values when pressing Shift.

  7. Shortcut "Make New Artboard"

    I need a shortcut to make a new artboard.
    same syntax as a new layer with Ctrl + L but for artboards

    There is no way to assign any kind of shortcut to this SO basic command, nor via action, shortcut editor, or script. And I'm aware of Shift + O

    thanks

  8. Remove round corner minimum angle limit

    Please allow for round corner angle threshold control via Preferences. The very common issue I have all the time is being unable to round corners with angles smaller than some hardcoded threshold.

    Not a big issue rally on simple trivial geometry where you can workaround by manually constructing the round corner. But in my field I have to constantly deal with large complex paths needing all corners rounded regardless of angle.

    I always have to resort to exporting geometry to SVG, rounding corners in Corel or Affinity which don't have the said minimal angle limit, import back to AI and…

  9. Launch Illustrator with the same opened documents tabs from closing

    I would add this option that would basically skip the home screen and launch straight into the last open documents from the last time I closed the app.
    This is very convenient instead of clicking through each document from the home screen.

    I guess this could also just become the main behaviour for closing Ai so if you instead want to get rid of all the open tabs you could right click on one and click "close all tabs"

  10. Basic touchpad functionality on Windows

    As someone who just switched from Mac to Windows, it's incredibly frustrating not to be able to zoom with a pinch or even to scroll diagonally.

  12. Make Numpad targetable for shortcuts (not the same as above letters normal numbers)

    Let we assign different shortcuts for the numpad than the normal numbers. I tried to assign and some doesn't work even when they don't conflict with other shortcuts.

  14. Ability to open several documents from Recent section/menu

    The Recent Section we're presented with when we first open Illustrator, we should be able to select multiple files to open, rather than just clicking one, and then having to "cmd O" or use the File Menu "open recent files" please just save me hours of my life.

  16. Close all other document tabs.

    I would find it really useful, if I could right click on a document tab and select "close other tabs" as I often have lot's of tabs open and eventually only want to work on a single tab. Instead of closing all one by one, this could be solved with a single click.

  17. migration of templates

    Is it possible to create a better migration of templates? Every time I upgrade I have to find the folder that has my custom templates. This is extremely un-user-friendly.

  18. About Adobe Illustrator Font Microscopic

    The Adobe technician I was IMing asked me to go to "About Adobe Illustrator" to read the version I was using and the font was 2pt font. It will not increase using the "Ctrl +" option either. Please save us from needing thicker glasses and make it an 8 pt font at least.

  19. Add a default option that lets you choose whether or not edges are shown.

    I print labels and we require proof approval from customers. This means the files I end up using ultimately get opened by at least 3 people. Any number of these people can save the files so that edges are hidden, however, on my end, I always want edges shown so I can better see where they are in relation to the white cut box (FXCUT) that's against the white background. I also maintain our proof templates, which, similarly, ends up being opened by multiple people.

    The idea I propose is that there be a global default setting for each iteration…

  20. Right align Export destination folder path text on Export for Screens window

    My suggestion is to have the 'folder path' text be right aligned in the text box, to have the export destination be more accessible, instead of the root folders.

    Currently, I have to click into the folder path text box, then click + drag to see where my file will export to. This is cumbersome and unnecessary.
