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.

mmやpixelなどの単位の設定を、ファイルごとに記憶しておいてほしい。
環境設定で、mmやpixelなどの単位の設定を、ファイルごとに記憶しておいてほしいです。 webデザインも紙のデザインも両方作るのですが、例えばwebデザインのファイルを開いたときに単位の設定をpixelにすると、紙のファイルを開いた時にもpixelになっていて、不便です。

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?

Easier access to Tools
Please rework the tools palette. Some ideas:
make it easy to use the full height of the monitor to show more tools
make it possible to select / activate tools directly through the All Tools overview, even when they are already loaded in the tools palette. It's inconvenient and annoying to watch an icon blink and then have to go into that to select a hidden tool.
make it possible to drag tools from All Tools that are already in the tools palette. Dragging should result in the desired tool on the desired spot, and remove it from the other…

Make the Illustrator Home Screen Responsive
Problem:
Right now, the Home screen is center-justified and fixed-width. On wide monitors, this creates huge blank space between the left sidebar and the file previews. Even worse, recent projects are hidden off-screen until the app window is stretched far enough. They don’t wrap, resize, or scroll, they just vanish.Why this sucks:
Users with wide displays waste massive amounts of screen real estate.
Important files appear to be “missing” unless you manually widen the window.
The layout looks like an old webpage centered in a box, not professional software.Screenshots attached:
Welcome screen: can’t see all projects unless window…2 votes -

Right side docked panels overlap document tabs & ruler
When the dock is placed at the top, opening palettes (like Swatches) overlaps and blocks:
• Document tabs (when many are open)
• The double arrow used to access hidden tabs
• The rightmost part of the rulerWhen the dock is placed at the bottom, palettes don’t block the document tabs, but they still cover part of the ruler.
The palettes should dynamically adjust so they never block tabs, the tab overflow control, or the ruler—regardless of dock position.

Better Interface for Document Setup / Artboard properties
When working with only one Artboard (in my case: 99% of my projects), it feels very uncomfortable to change the size via Document Setup - this shows a button 'Edit Artboards'. Clicking that button doesn't give any feedback to the user. We still have to find and click 'Properties'. Three clicks for such a fundamentals task. My requests:
1. Please integrate the Artboard size of a single Artboard document directly in the Document Setup panel.
2. When clicking 'Edit Artboards', open or bring to front the Properties panel.
3. Add a list or dropdown of existing Artboards in the Document…2 votes -

Window > Arrange > Swap
If you have two documents open and you enable "Window > Arrange > Tile" you get both windows side by side.
By default you get the first-opened document on the left and the second on the right.
"Swap" function would exchange positions of the windows.
In order to do this without Swap, I have to do a manual tab shuffle to make this work and it's not as easy as it seems.

Explain the implications of deleting the current workspace better
I had a workspace, and I wanted to make changes to the panel layouts. My idea was to make a new workspace, based on the one I was currently using. I moved the panels I wanted. Then I went to Manage Workspaces, and deleted the current workspace. I figured my workspace would be removed, the currently layout would "just be there" and I could make a new workspace based on my panel layout. Instead, when I removed the WS, I was "forced" back to the "getting started" layout! Now I have to go and open all of my panels and…

One-Click Unit Preset Switching (Print/Web)
As a designer working across both print and web media, I’d like to propose a feature that would greatly improve workflow efficiency in applications like Illustrator and Photoshop.
A one-click unit preset switcher that allows users to toggle between unit/dpi settings optimized for different use cases.
For example:
Print preset: mm, 300dpi
Web preset: px, 72dpiThis could be a simple toggle in the toolbar or a quick-access dropdown in the settings panel.

Guides menu box
I use guides on all projects, I open a new artboard, hit cmd+r for the rulers to appear and then draw a square that I want my margins to be, hit align left/top pull a guide line down for horizontal and vertical then align to right/bottom an do the same, this gives me my margins... can we get a popup window that just lets us type in values, like the bleeds but for margins, plus central horizontal and vertical guides tick boxes and columns/row margins etc. Would be great to save these as presets, so I can open a doc,…

Show Smoothing popup near cursor
When using the Brush or Pencil tool, and you press the Opt/Alt key, the very nice smoothing box pops up which is amazing and excellent. I think it would be great if the Smoothing popup box appeared close to the cursor. Currently, it pops up in the last place where it was used. It's still great though.

Request to Remove or Hide the "Home" Icon in Illustrator Interface
The "Home" icon in the top-left corner of the Illustrator interface is intrusive and unnecessary for daily workflow. Its placement directly interferes with accessing the "File" dropdown menu, as accidental clicks on the Home icon can disrupt the creative process by taking users out of their active project.
The Home screen can already be disabled in Preferences, making the icon itself redundant. For advanced users who rely on speed and efficiency, the presence of this icon adds no real value and only introduces the risk of misclicks.
Please consider providing an option to hide or disable the Home icon entirely…

Please allow the width of the Info Panel to be adjustable.
I believe users around the world would prefer to keep palettes as compact as possible in order to maximize the display area for their artwork.
However, the "Info Palette," which is frequently referenced, is too wide, and when docked, it dictates the overall width of the palette area.
I would greatly appreciate it if the Info Palette could be made more compact—perhaps by allowing a vertical layout or similar adjustments.2 votes
