Show Live Shape controls for grouped objects as before
The shape option in the Transform panel is lost when grouping or compounding rectangular or star shape objects.
This is very difficult to use because it used to be possible to change the shape object's radius all at once, even when grouped together.

I would love to see a "temporary canvas" or "temporary file" feature added to illustrator
I often find myself creating temporary documents that I end up deleting after doing whatever I need to do in Illustrator before bringing over to InDesign or some other application. It'd be so nice to start a "Quick Canvas" or something that has the full functionality of Illustrator, but it instead acts as a notepad that can either auto-save to the cloud or just delete itself after using.

Centralized Notification History
Currently, Notifications are eliminated when cleared. This is a problem if you accidentally clear a notification that you want to read later. Often a Notification can be a reference for something that you forgot that hasn't been documented yet.
Please resolve this issue by making Notifications like e-mail, where you have read notifications and unread notifications. This allows us to manually delete notifications at our convenience, but refer back to them when needed.
Either that or allow us to bookmark notifications for later use. This would require an entire Bookmarking system and seems a little much when you already have…

User Friendly Subscription Services
Change the subscription model from yearly to monthly as default. In it's current state, the basic subscription is misleading. It claims it's monthly but locks you into a yearly contract. There are two ways to fix this.
- Use an honest model that is fully monthly with no contracts.
or..
- Create better easy to read text that clarifies if the subscription is monthly or yearly.
Please fix the subscription services to better reflect their intentions.

変数のデータセット名をCSVからインポートできるようにして下さい。
変数の機能はとても便利なのですが、インポート時にデータセットの名前を任意のものにできないので不便です。現状だと、自動的にデータセット名1、データセット名2、データセット名3....というような名前が設定されます。これでは実際に選択するまでなんのデータなのかわかりません。
現状はイラストレーター上で一つ一つ変更するか、XMLでダウンロードして名前を変更しなければならず、不便なので、よろしくお願いいたします。2 votes -
A proposal to fix the mess that is Preferences > Units
The original idea by Johan Perjus, from https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/things-i-wish-adobe-would-address-with-adobe-illustrator-4796a89e1bae
Units of measure settings are a mess right now, units can be set for General, Stroke and Type on a “global” level under Illustrator > Preferences, but “General” are overridden by Unit settings on document (local) level, however it does not apply to, nor can it be changed for Stroke and Type on document level. Thus adds a lot of unnecessary back and forth visits to Preferences > Units if you are working with delivery for different mediums (who isn’t?) print, web, motion graphics and so on, add multiple markets to that…

Improve Assigning Color Profile
I’ve been running into some challenges with color profiles in Adobe Illustrator that I think could use improvement. Every time I open a document, I’m asked to either assign or discard a color profile. The issue is, even when I choose and save the file, Illustrator asks me again when I reopen it. Is there a reason it’s not saving my choice?
Another thing that could help a lot is when working with multiple images, like 20 or more. Instead of getting prompted one by one for each image, it would be much faster if I could see a list…

GUIDELINES
Full transform options for GUIDELINES. I want infinite DIAGONALS!
Please and thank you! xoxoTL;DR
We all know math is the basis of all good design work. (Critical for branding) I can't count the number of times I've messed up manual diagonal spacing. It's a sticking point for me, especially when working on deadline.Being able to set up a template of guidelines (in the same way that "workspaces" functions) could be beneficial for different types of jobs.
Other things that would be nice:
-Golden Ratio guideline (also Branding essential)
-Colour of guidelines matching layer colour (much more helpful than…2 votes -
can we have a Chinese paragraph arrangement function (Hyphenate) in English Illustrator, which is now only available in Chinese illustrator
as a Chinese English Illustrator user, we are more familiar with English Illustrator interface than Chinese, even though we can read Chinese. It will be really convenient for us to have the hyphenate function, which is now only available in Chinese Illustrator, to be also available in English Illustrator, like Hebrew, Arabic, Dutch etc...

When rotating an object, add a hotkey that allows the user to explicitly enter the rotation angle.
When rotating an object, I can see the rotation angle and I have to struggle to get the rotation to align perfectly to an exact angle. While I can do this with the rotate tool, it's frustrating to see the rotation almost where I need it, but having to undo, select the rotation tool, set the angle, etc.
If there was a hotkey while rotating, like say, Ctrl... a small text box would appear in place of the angle and I could just manually enter the angle with the previous rotation angle as a default, I think that could save…

Restore pressing Ctrl + Alt + Enter in Transform’s Width and Height fields to constrain proportions AND copy at the same time
I thought I could explain this feature only with a video. Even though it was difficult and I took risks, I was able to prepare it by finding a portable CS 11 version.
I want this feature back for Transform Palette. Because they destroyed it or forgot about it or no one knows about it.

Make it flexible to stylize graphs and edit data without messing the graph design
Please allow it that we can stylize the graphs without ungrouping it so we can still edit the data anytime as needed. Creating graphs (data and style) should be efficient. As of the latest version, every time we edit graph data, the horizontal lines (x-axis) get messed up. (Please see attachment with file name: graph with style...)
And there is this wide space on the start (left of the graph). Not sure why the graph tool has this wide space from the left side every time it generates the graph. (Please see attachment with file name: graph wide space...)

Optional thousand separator for graphs in y-axis
Graphs in Illustrator are really useful, however, after copy-pasting data from Excel, the y-axis values all come out without thousand separators, like $1000000 - I then manually add thousand separators so that the value reads $1,000,000 - it would be great if in right-click > Graph Type > Value Axis, there was a check-box that read "Enable Thousand Separators". Easy :)

Line Chart - make it possible to start line on value axis
I do often need the line to start on the value axis.
At this moment, I can't do this using the Chart-Tool, effectivly making these type of charts impossible to create without messing up the Chart by manually changing the axis.2 votes
