PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE re-establish the the ability to drag over dimensions to change them!!!!
I've been dragging over the top of dimensions to change them for years, I'm speaking about artboards specifically. Now with the latest release of IL I have to triple click or place a curser and either backspace or select over the top with my keyboard. It's REALLY ANNOYING and disruptive to my workflow. I know it's a simple thing, but when you've been working a certain way for years a slight change like that can cause all sorts of mistakes in projects.

Ouvrir plusieurs documents à la fois
Je me demande est ce qu’il serait possible de faire en sorte d’ouvrir plusieurs documents, au moins deux pour copier coller des objectes, calques, de l’un vers l’autre, sans avoir à passer par la galerie.
Importation spéciale ? Aperçu ? Picture in picture ?

The ability to rotate the entire workspace
Quite often I'm designing something that will be printed and folded, requiring parts of the artwork to be oriented upside down.
Have you ever tried to edit text or graphics while they're upside down? It's nearly impossible.
Please add a feature to illustrator that allows us to rotate the entire workspace, including all of the artboards and layers as one.

Feedback on Invite to edit Feature (in Beta now)
In our next feature update as part of cloud documents in Illustrator, we bring to you the “Invite to Edit” feature that is intended to help you share and collaborate with others.
What is it?
Collaborate with others with the Invite to Edit feature. Share your cloud document with other collaborators so that they can also edit your document. Find documents that others have shared with you in a new section called “Shared with you” which you can find on the Home Screen. You can also easily take a non-cloud document and convert it into a cloud document in order…2 votes -
New document preset details fields tab order
When creating a new document in both Illustrator and Photoshop the Preset Details tab order is frustrating. It would make more sense to enter a width in the field then hit tab to go to height field. Currently it tabs from width to units to height.
I often enter a width hit tab and enter what I think is a height only to find it's sitting on the units dropdown.
InDesign has this tab order correct and is much more sensible.2 votes -
Auto guides
My workflow would be so much quicker if when you draw a box or shape, you could hit a command that creates auto guides vertically and horizontal centrally to just that box.

Align to...BUTTON
In a past version of AI, the "align to artboard or selection" was a button rather than a menu. Please bring back the button! I switch between these two options hundreds of times a week and the menu wastes time that adds up.
Thanks so much always!

Automatically incorporate the .jpeg .png name into the artboard name
When working with multiple assets (png's and jpegs) and wish to import them in a document for various purposes: resize, remake them as vector for "overwrite" purpose it would be really helpful to:
When importing a .jpeg or a .png file into a document, by clicking on the .png or .jpeg with the arboard tool, instead of creating a generic name, the artboard tool should "take" the name of the file automatically.
When working with hundreds of small assets, it is very painful having to rename every single file in order to batch export them.
Very helpful in, mobile, web…

Expand 'move artwork with artboard' to include rotation.
Currently 'move artwork with artboard' covers move and copy only. It would be great if it could also lock the artwork to the board as it rotates.

Allowance to change the keyboard shortcuts for Previous Artboard and Next Artboard
I have all of my keyboard shortcuts set to the left side of the keyboard, since I draw right-handed and keep my left hand on that side of the keys. In my animation workflow, I like to scrub back and forth quickly between artboards, but I do not like the current LOCKED shortcuts for going back and forth through them:
Previous Artboard (Currently locked to Shift-PgUp)
Next Artboard (Currently locked to Shift-PgDn)
First Artboard (Currently locked to Ctrl-Shift-PgUp)
Last Artboard (Currently locked to Ctrl-Shift-PgDn)There is currently no listing for them in the keyboard shortcuts menu, so they cannot be…

artboard size fit
It would be great if Illustrator created a new artboard to fit copy and paste elements - as done when you copy to clipboard and paste in photoshop. It would be helpful when need ing to create multiple illustrator files ( say logo variations, or icons etc) instead of having to manually resize the artboard/page size

Resizing multiple Artboards at once for a better Icon-design performance
When creating an icon-set of hundreds of icons at 16px, it would be super convenient to have the option to resize all the artboards for the following sizes (e.g: 24 px, 32px, 48px...). This is so cause when I have created the first file, I have also taken the time to properly name all the artboards so that when I export them, developers can find them with the naming-system that we had already created.
The problem I am facing now with this feature is that I cannot keep the names and so, I need to start over the same process…

Way to change "Custom" Document name
Would love to be able to change this "Custom" name to something more descriptive. I have a few piece of equipment that I would like to be able to select quickly. For now I have to go through the hassle of templates which works well but is several other clicks. Would be nice to have a way to quickly create documents for those specific equipment types with preconfigured settings.

Set application default Type and Paragraph menu options
I have Middle East/English installed b/c occasionally I need to do a ME translation and it is pointless to have to uninstall/reinstall each time. I would like the ability to set the application default for the following so that when you set up a new document, it defaults to the things you wanted. You can currently do this with tools, but not with the actual menus.
Type Menu:
Font
Lanugage
DigitsParagraph Menu:
Alignment
Paragraph Direction
Composer type (e.g. Adobe Single Line composer)
Type directionYou can do this in InDesign but not in Illustrator. Not sure why, but it's…

Select elements of a compound object in the Layers panel
I don't understand why a compound object can't be expanded in the Layers panel to reveal its elements, and let me select and manage them. Just like I can see and select elements in a (clip) group, and cat go to into isolation mode with a compound. What's the rationale to prevent this ?

Toggle View Assets outside the Artboard
One of my favorite features in indesign is being able to toggle between a work view and a final preview view that make all grids, tools, and artwork outside the dartboard invisible so that I can see how the final composition looks on the page, and I think that would be a great feature for Illustrator, where areas outside the dartboard can be a jumbled mess of old work and saved previous versions, or artwork that peaks onto the page but hangs off it as well.
