  2. Missing a Modal Pop up

    Dear Adobe...
    If I spend time organizing my art and putting it onto multiple layers and contains HUNDREDS of pieces, when I make a masking layer you take my artwork and smash it all into one layer WITHOUT popping a modal saying this will smash it all into one layer and waste a day of your life having to re-organize it into layers again because a stakeholder requested edits...You failed me. Bad Adobe BAD.

    Please fix this, it's really not cool. When I think of all the hours of my life that you have wasted on things like this over…

  3. The default unit of measure option for stroke shouldn't be pixels.

    The default unit of measure option for stroke shouldn't be pixels, because I don't think that's a good way to guide the flock.

  4. Extended Tools Panel

    Less frequently used tools (in my case: Scissors, Paint Bucket) are hard to find in the standard Tools Palette. Wouldn't it be great when Illustrator had a preset to show all tools at a glance (on my 30" screen...)?

    I know that it is possible to create custom tools panels - but especially when creating those, it's nice to have a view on all tools at once!

  5. Efect menu

    I would like to provide a suggestion, to the "Effect" menu of Illustrator, they will take the same aesthetics from the rest of the menus. "Effect" looks very Windows 95.

  6. Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

    I am new to CC 2017 however I am getting a very annoying error message each time I open the CC up.
    The heading is: Assertion Failed!
    I have attached a screen grab for your attention.
    Look forward to hearing from you!

  7. Highlighted cursor markers on rulers

    I would love to see an option to enable a highlighted cursor marker on the ruler. To explain what I mean by cursor marker, I mean the small, light gray line that follows where your cursor is along the x and y ruler. This light gray line is very hard to distinguish its exact position against the background ruler markers, since there is literally no contrast between them. I would love to see an option to change it to any of the system swatches.

  8. Could there be a more logical place for show center and path direction than the Attributes panel

    The Attributes panel seems like the junk drawer of panels. Wouldn't the show center check box seem more at home in the transform panel, and the path direction seem better suited for stroke or pathfinder panel. Just one less panel taking up space on the artboard.

  9. Enable the ablility to keep swatch catagories in my tool panel.

    I would love to keep tool swatches in my tool panel. I do have the ability to take one and put it off to the side among my tools, but when I restart Illustrator the tab is gone leaving me to conclude this is not a supported feature. I use one particular swatch category a lot and this would save me time.

  10. Allow to disable labels when resizing or rotating an object

    When we rotate or scale an object with bounding box, Illustrator shows a label with the rotation angle or width/height changes.
    While the label looks similar to the Reference Labels for Smart Guides, it’s not it (and it’s larger).
    Ai doesn’t allow to hide these, and sometimes it obscures the art we work with.
    Please introduce a toggle!

  11. Tab To Edit Next Artboard Name in Export for Screens Window

    Hello,
    In the Artboards panel, when you edit an artboard name, you can hit tab to key into the next artboard to change its name without having to reach back to the mouse to double-click the next artboard name to change it.
    However, in the Export for Screens window, in the artboard section, if you hit tab when editing an artboard name, the Select: > All radial button becomes highlighted.
    This is not the behavior I expect in this context, and is inconsistent with the behavior in the Artboards panel.
    As a compromise, perhaps we could have conditional behavior, where,…

  12. Can we please move the "Close all" button away from the "Save" button in the "FILE" dropdown menu

    Maybe move the "Close" and "Close all" buttons to the bottom of the "FILE" dropdown menu, instead of having them sit so close to the "Save" and "Save as" buttons.

    I have accidently closed various projects because of this.

  13. Confusing migration confirmation dialogue box

    Please fix the confusing migration confirmation dialogue box (popup), which is is needlessly unclear and needs revision. It asks a yes-or-no type question and provides a very clear negative option for a response. However, it provides two options for a positive response (I think), but which are bewildering. Each button just shows a version identifier: 29.7.2, 29.7.1, etc. Is this the new version and the version I was using last? Is this two versions where settings were detected? What version am I using when I see this? (Hmmm. I don't know. I can't check without answering first.) What happens when…

  14. Portability or cross-device synchronization of Illustrator workspace organization.

    Portability or cross-device synchronization of Illustrator workspace organization.

    I have a standard way of working and organizing windows, icons, and other tools in the Illustrator workspace, and I'd like these settings to be synchronized across my devices, given that I work on my laptop and desktop in different locations at different times of the day.

  15. Make color choosing UI consistent

    I never like it when the big color chooser with the square color gradient and numeric fields pop up.
    Why does it exist?
    Would like to have a user preference to choose the color picker in stead of having Illustrator to popup with several different color mixers.

    When double clicking the stroke or fill color, the big unusefull (imho) thing pops up, when clicking a swatch, a compact mixer pops up.

    For me, it would be nice to construct my own combination of color mixers: RGB and HSB in 1 view, with sliders, without the big picking gradient, without cmyk,…

    안녕하세요

    가장 최신버전에서, 인디자인 관리자실행해야 정상 기능이 작동하는 점이 개선해주세요

    일러스트에서, 가장 최신버전에서, 세로방향쓰기 할 때, 한글과 영문 둘다 왼쪽에서 오른쪽 방향으로 쓰이게 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

    인디자인 관리자실행안하고 실행하게되면 일부도구툴과 위에 윈도우 창들의 기능들이 일부 활성화가 안되는 현상이 발생합니다.

  17. Scrollable tabs

    I would like if the Ai interface was less "cluttered" and "manual" to use.

    Specifically, as in the case of having many tabs open than they fit in the viewport, I have to click on the double chevrons (>>) to only be able to open one file at a time. Rather, would you guys consider making it scrollable?

  18. Allow to show simple fractions instead of decimal fractions when possible in input fields

    (↑Francais↑ / ↓English↓)

    Ajouté les mesures en Fraction

    Dans la case "Propriétés", dans la section L: & H: , ajouté les mesures en Fraction et permetre de convertir les décimal en Fraction, les Fractions sont par example .: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc...

    Pouvoir écrire manuellement comme indiqué .: 1/4 qui convertie automatiquement en messure décimal .: 0.25in (Pouce) ainsi de suite.

    Dans les montages graphiques, sa serais beaucoup plus pratique d'utiliser les mesures Fraction que de chercher les mesure en décimal qui est difficile à certain moment.

    C'est un outils et messure très essentiel dans la zone Américain/Canadienne…

  19. Add a Save Preset button into the legacy File New dialog

    Illustrator recently added a button to save the current New Document settings as a preset: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35253820
    Please add a similar one into the legacy dialog too.

  20. Make the font selection panel less intrusive by making it editable and moveable

    The font selection panel currently takes up a large portion of the center screen, making it difficult to see the font changes on a large scale. It would be nice if the panel could be editable and moveable, like other panels on Illustrator. Also, it could be positioned on the right side of the screen by default and made slightly transparent, to see through.
