サブレイヤー
お世話になります。
いつも仕事で使わせていただいております。先日、複雑なデータをグループ化した際、あったものが消えてなくなるという不具合が発生し、危うくミスになるところでした。
調べたところ、サブレイヤーが使われており、グループ化することによりオブジェクトが最背面へ移動し、なくなってしまったということが分かりました。現在は、どうしてもグループ化しなくてはならないときは「レイヤーを統合」してグループ化するなどして対策していますが、ネット上でも不具合として話題になっているようなので、グループ化する、マスクをかける、などによりあったものがなくなってしまうようなとき（重なり順が変わる時）にはアラートでお知らせいただければこのような事故が減るしありがたいな、と思いました。
どうぞよろしくお願いします。2 votes -
2d to 3d Packaging render option
It would be really useful for the packaging industry if our 2D packaging artwork can be visualized as a 3D render without having to use a third party software very much like ESKO's Studio (https://www.esko.com/en/products/studio), please?

How much the arrow keys move a selected object around in any direction **w.r.t. the zoom level**
I think the primary goal of letting us control the object with the arrow keys is so we can be accurate with its placement on the artboard. But this becomes completely useless if the zoom level is very high, in which the arrow keys move the object a big distance. This forces us to use the mouse to get an accurate position for the object.
What I really need: If we've zoomed in on an artboard, then let the arrow keys move the object a smaller distance than usual so that we can be more accurate with an object's placement…

New Crop Tool: Crop Placed Image to Mask Shape
Images (jpg, png or photoshop formats) placed in illustrator (with "link” box checked) and then masked to fit within the document or a special shape often have more image then is needed. This adds to the saved .ai file size. So users need to edit the original in photoshop and crop approx. to the size of the mask in illustrator to trim down the photo and its data size.
The “Crop Image” function will allow users to trim the dimensions of the image, but requires embedding after cropping, which actually adds file size to .ai file.
It would really help…

Add a virtual laser pointer option in presentation view mode
We are an academic science lab that uses Illustrator to make slides for our data presentations. With the COVID crisis, all of our meetings and conferences became virtual. In presentation mode, the cursor is an arrow pointer, but I think it will be incredibly useful to have the option to make cursor a laser pointer (like in Microsoft powerpoint). Going forward, I think more and more meetings will be held virtually, and having a virtual laser pointer will be very useful in illustrator.

invert blending mode
You have Normal, Multiply and Screen but there is no simple invert blending
transparency mode for layers or objects
I've seen it in other vector based programs and would love to see it in AI (and PSD)eg
When a black ring (set to INVERT) overlaped a solid black circle, the portion of the ring that overlaps would turn white.eg
When a Blue Circle overlapped a Yellow Circle the boolean area would turn green.This was VERY popular years ago in design, both in the 1930s and again in the 1980s in early graphics software, but it seems to…

Other pen enabled laptops compatibility for adobe fresco
I have a Dell laptop with a pen and I wanted to get adobe fresco. It seems like adobe made it exclusive for surface owners however I wanted to see if I could have access to it. There's little difference between my pen on my laptop and the pen on the surface laptops so I hope it wouldn't be too hard to add.

A hotkey to jump to the first typeable box in properties panel would be great
When something is selected, being able to type cmd-6 in Indesign gets you straight to the first typeable box, and from there it's easy to tab or shift-tab around quickly.
I can't find anything similar in Illustrator, though the properties panel in here is supposed to make life easier.
I work with a lot of hotkeys doing quite repetitive tasks, so being able to utilise this panel in a speedy manner would really speed up my workflow.

Exchange entire Illustrator Team!
Two decades of leading customers around with this (still) child [Illustrator] is enough. Just lay down your work dear current Illustrator Team! You won't get anywhere, and let new people start over. It is 20 Years now since I've started with Illustrator (post Macromedia (RIP) Freehand) and it still sucks so hard. Unbelievable that Shantanu Narayen (Adobe CEO) does not seeing this. Wasted companies money and nerves of millions of users. Get a life.

Variables issues with images paths
Hi all,
am currently using "Data merge using the Variables panel". The following article does not have enough information for me: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/data-driven-graphics-templates-variables.html
The issue lies with the photos
My photos are not stored locally but in our company's shared google drive folder
So instead of having a link: C:\Photos\BillTucker.jpg this is how an image link would look like: /Volumes/GoogleDrive/My Drive/Automation/scljwhj2uqvn8ajetqhn.png
From the article, I've understood that it can not contain blank spaces. I wanted to know if there was a way around and if other users have had this issue.Thanks in advance

Photoshop + Illustrator Plan
I am Photoshop user and I would like to learn Illustrator. But it's a bit pricy, especially when you don't use it as professional. Could you create another plan like Photography Plan but with Illustrator insted of Lightroom?
Or maybe would it be possible to pay for example 1€ and get 10h per month to use one of any program ? I think it will be great chance for people to learn any of Adobe software who don't need it as professional.2 votes -
New symbol info window should retain properties of previously created symbol
When creating a new symbol, it should remember not only the export type, but the symbol type and registration as well, instead of having it default to dynamic-center every time. Usually when creating symbols, they are of the same type as the last. This is how Flash handled symbols way back in the day and it was an invaluable time saver for projects containing dozens of clips (such as site plan artwork).

矢印ツールとは別に「移動モード」を。
オブジェクト選択後、特定のキーを押すことで「移動モード」に移行するようにしてほしい。
複数のオブジェクトを選択し、それらを同時に移動させようとした場合、任意のオブジェクトを全て選択した後、最後にいずれかのオブジェクトを正確にクリックしてドラッグする流れになるが、この最後にいずれかのオブジェクトを選択する際に誤ってオブジェクト以外をクリックしてしまうと、今までのShiftを押しながら沢山選択してきた作業が水の泡になる。
移動モードに移行すると、選択したオブジェクト以外を選択しても選択が解除されることはなく、心ゆくまで正確に移動を行った後、決定ボタンなりダブルクリックなりで移動モードは解除される。
現在の編集モードの選択したオブジェクト限定版という動きにしても良いかもしれない。
選択したオブジェクトの精密な移動方法としてこの「移動モード」の実装を強く要望します。
