Make Animated zoom and Scrubby zoom as two different settings, as in Photoshop
I love the GPU animated zoom when scrubbing/dragging the canvas.
BUT no that it starts zooming automatically when the mouse is pressed down less than a second.
It’s extremely annoying.In Photoshop when you deactivate the Animated Zoom you can still scrub/drag the GPU zoom.
If you deactivate the Animated Zoom in Illustrator you can only do the classic stepped zoom, but not drag to have the animated zoom.
Can you add the feature to make it so that you can disable the automatic Animated Zoom but still keep the animated scrub/drag zoom please, just like in Photoshop.

Highlight the layer that is selected on the artboard
When selecting an object, it's extremely hard to find the layer. Can the layer be auto selected/highlighted when selecting an object?
3 votesWhen one or more objects of a Layer are selected, the Layer gets highlighted and also indicates a selection. To locate the object in the Layer panel – see if this works. Select the object, click on the Layer panel flyout menu and pick ‘Locate Object’.

No outline for an empty layer’s thumbnail in Layers panel
In a previous edition of Ai, when in the layers palette and having a layer with no content, the thumbnail square didn't have an outline. Now it has an outline and leads you to believe there is content there.
Why did you change it? Leave it without an outline so you can delete it without the extra steps of looking for content you might not see (being white) or want to delete.
I feel both Adobe and Apple make changes just to makes changes and justify someone's job. I really resent the accumulation of constant unnecessary changes and this is…

Adobe Draw File Management
I use Adobe Draw every day, and I keep all drawings for one project together in one file. There is no function to change the order that files or folders appear in the app, nor is there a search function, and and so if I am still working on a drawing I created yesterday in a folder that I opened 4 years ago, I have to visually search through hundreds of drawings every time I open the app or move back and forth through different projects.
Pretty please, introduce either a 'sort by last opened' option, and/or a file/folder search…

最近使用したものの一覧にファイルパスを表示する Display file path for Recently Used items
最近使用したもの一覧はインターフェースとして便利ですが、同一ファイル名を使用したりするケースでは判別がつかず、ファイル管理上、危険が伴うので、ファイルパスを表示するなど、どこかにユニーク情報を入れてほしい。

Artboard delete tool
This is really nitpicky but the little X at the top right of the artboard tool is too small and more often than not I end up creating a new artboard around the object at the top right of the artboard. Possibly make the cross larger or move it somewhere else to remove this problem?

Save to older version of EPS or AI
CS6 does not appear to allow the user to save to older versions of EPS or AI. Many vendors and designers are still using older versions, and the inability to save to older versions is creating a lot of problems.
3 votesIt should be possible to do so through File > Save As… then select the Format as .ai or .eps, then click Save. In the next dialog select the desired version from CC to Ai3.

プルダウンメニュー
このサイトも同様の仕様ですが、プルダウンメニューが背景と文字の濃度が差悪く、視認性が酷い。photoshopなどは問題ない！イラストレーターのみ見にくい！迅速に対応ください。

Update / Preview Grid on canvas when the grid and Constrain Angle values change in Preferences, before hitting OK
I use grids all the time and I have to change the grid settings to fit my tasks regularly.
When I do this, the rendered grid updates only when I hit OK, and it makes choosing the step less convenient — if I’m not happy with the resulting grid cell size, I’d have to open Prefs one more, navigate to the section, try again.
Same goes with Constrain Angle — changing it won’t make the grid rotate until OK is hit.
Sure, it’d need a Preview option, to fit the way it works in other dialogs, enabled by default.2 votes -
Change layer thumbnail background so white objects are visible in the Layers panel
Currently, I'm working with white text for a logo design and because the layer thumbnail background is white and the text is also white, it is impossible to see what objects are in my Layers. Illustrator for ipad already has this feature, so why isn't it in desktop?

An option to not highlight the active artboard in Trim View
It would be great if the Artboard Display Highlight Color could be hidden when in Trim View. So it doesn't interfere with the visual look of the artwork and yet could be larger in the standard display mode to enable easier workflow.

Guys, why don't you have a "Behance Project" on the New document screen? This should help a lot.

Display the confirmation when a HEX value is copied from the Color panel
Today, when we click the dedicated button to copy a HEX value, either in the Color panel or in Swatches Options dialog, Illustrator selects the value (and copies it), but the fact it gets copied is nowhere stated.
I’d use the Ai’s 'shy message' to inform the users about this instead ( '#XXYYZZ copied') and would not select the value — but would select it by clicking the '#' symbol instead, to match the 'click the caption to select the value' paradigm Illustrator uses in all other fields.2 votes -

Background Grid Not Displayed Behind Fully Opaque Objects in Illustrator 30.0
I am experiencing an issue in Illustrator 30.0 where the background grid does not appear behind any objects that have 100% opacity, regardless of fill or effects. This happens even when Overprint Preview is enabled. This kind of phenomenon did not occur while using 28.x and 29.x series.
- Illustrator version: 30.0
- OS: macOS Sequoia (15.3.2)
- Issue: Any object with 100% opacity completely hides the background grid.
- Troubleshooting steps attempted:
- Switching GPU performance ON/OFF
- Using CPU preview
- Resetting Illustrator preferences
- Switching to Outline view and back

2 finger tap undo on desktop touch interface
I have a touch screen laptop and I like using Fresco but struggle to use the touch interface in Illustrator and Photoshop because gestures don't work as expected. I thought at some point you all would add 2 finger tap to undo and 3 finger tap to redo as well as some other more common gestures. Is this possible? If so when can we expect this?

Add Next / Previous buttons in Layer Options dialog
Sometimes I need to change several colors for a bunch of layers.
To do this, I have to double-click one in Layers, pick a color, close the dialog, double-click the next one... why exiting the dialog at all? I should be able to cycle them directly within it.2 votes -
Rescale Recolor Window
It would be awesome if it was possible to rescale the Recolor Window or even the smooth & segmented color wheels on the Edit tab of the Recolor Window.
With the size now, it's difficult to control changes without changing each color individually in the Assign tab because of how small the color wheels are on the Edit tab. This challenge becomes worse when an illustration has more colors, especially when individual colors' small circles overlap with the bigger selection's circle.
Being able to rescale the Recolor Window or the color wheels would help users better tweak their illustrations (especially…

Please make Mirror easier to use
The Mirror tool is such a hassle to use and get it working. People, can you please make it an easy toggle to turn off and on, that you can use right away, similar to programs like Procreate and Clip Studio Paint?

Scaling is messed up for the effect tab and font tab
The effects tab won’t scale to a larger size like 200% when on a small drawing display, the font tab also has problem with not shrinking down and stays too large clipping into the secondary screen. Can you please fix these two things?
