2. I would like to be able to set the grid origin when editing a symbol.

   If I open a symbol from the symbols window, the grid position is always offset from the origin of the symbol. It is not currently possible to set the grid origin here. Why doesn't the grid origin set to the registration point of the symbol? At least an option to do this would be great.

4. Drag-and-drop Glyphs to Symbols

   Sort of niche QoL, but it could be great to be able to drag glyphs from the Glyphs panel onto the Symbols panel to create a new symbol automatically. The resulting symbol size could be a ratio based on a preset height or width, set as a preference or panel option, or entered at creation via. a modal.

5. Enhancing Symbols in Adobe Illustrator

   Dear Adobe Illustrator Team,

   I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my appreciation for the incredible work you've done with Adobe Illustrator and to request a feature enhancement that I believe would greatly benefit the user experience. Specifically, I would like to propose improvements to the Symbols feature, focusing on the ability to change the values of instances, such as text or color, and the inclusion of multiple predefined values, such as night and day themes. Additionally, I would like to suggest improvements to the 9-slice feature, making it more responsive and adaptable to different sizes, similar to Figma components.

   Symbols play a crucial role in streamlining workflows and maintaining consistency within design projects. However, the current limitations in Adobe Illustrator prevent users from easily customizing instances of symbols beyond their placement. By allowing users to modify values of instances, such as text or color, within a symbol, you would empower designers to create dynamic and adaptable designs without sacrificing the benefits of symbol-based workflows. This feature enhancement would significantly improve the efficiency and flexibility of working with symbols, enabling designers to iterate and experiment more effectively.

   Furthermore, introducing support for multiple predefined values within symbols would be a game-changing addition. For instance, having the ability to define night and day themes within a single symbol would allow designers to seamlessly switch between different visual styles, catering to various contexts and requirements. This feature would greatly streamline the design process, eliminating the need for duplicate symbols and reducing the overall complexity of managing design variations.

   In addition to symbol enhancements, I would like to suggest improvements to the 9-slice feature in Adobe Illustrator. Figma components have set a standard for responsive and adaptable design elements, and it would be fantastic to see similar capabilities in Adobe Illustrator. By enhancing the 9-slice feature to automatically adjust and adapt to different sizes, designers would have greater control over scaling and responsiveness, ensuring consistent results across various screen resolutions and devices. This improvement would tremendously benefit UI/UX designers who rely on Adobe Illustrator for their design workflows.

   I genuinely believe that implementing these enhancements to the Symbols feature, along with improving the 9-slice functionality, would elevate Adobe Illustrator's capabilities to new heights. These additions would empower designers to create more efficiently, adapt to changing requirements effortlessly, and produce designs that are both visually stunning and highly functional.

   Thank you for your attention to this feature request. I appreciate your dedication to continuously improving Adobe Illustrator, and I look forward to the possibility of seeing these enhancements in future updates.

   Best regards,

7. Dynamic Connector Symbols

   Connect two objects with a third, dynamic symbol.

   A new class of Symbol that can be assigned properties of Rotate, Extend, Scale etc. and a new class of Group called an Assembly.

   e.g 1. A bullet point and a number in a circle can be connected by a symbol set with the properties of Radial Rotate and Extend, so the when either the bullet or the number are moved the connector symbol adjusts its length to remain anchored to the centre of the other two objects.

   e.g. 2 A graphic is connected to create an Assembly of two or more other objects with properties of Focus Rotate and Scale, so that if any of the other objects are moved it is resized (either proportionally or disproportionally depending on selected options) to fill the space (based on its original size relative to the other objects) and rotated (based on where the densest number of other objects are). So a central arrow graphic would scale if the surrounding target graphics are moved closer or further away, but never beyond the nearest of the surrounding objects, and would point in the direction of the most objects in any direction.

   This would be useful in annotation, plans (engineering, mapping etc.), flow charts and diagrams.

   Symbol properties are set when creating the symbol and connection properties are set when applying to a connected assembly. For example a connection property may be tangential rather than radial so the connector is always angled from the outside edge of one of the parent objects, but the centre of the other.

   Just select several objects and apply “Assemble”. The objects appear unaffected and can all still be moved independently but, once a Connector is dragged on from the symbols palette, they are highlighted, the Connector can be dropped in place and constraints applied. Several Connectors can be applied to one Assembly so a cloud of objects and be connected via several paths which will adjust dynamically if any of the objects are moved later.

8. Linking issue, always linked together after copying

   Illustrator : After copying artboards, it's still linked to the previous one, meaning whatever I do to the 2nd one, the 1st one effects too.
   After Effects : After copying the composition, it's still ..... (the same thing happens).

   So I'd suggest if we have the option to link or not to (which means choose to be the same as the previous one we copied or not).
   Because I am beating around the bush, just to adjust the current one that I've copied.

   Thank you so much! Vielen Dank! Xie xie!

9. Grab symbols by bounding box points

   When the Preference 'Object Selection By Path Only' is active, symbols can't be grabbed at the control points of the symbol's bounding box.
   We can not move a Symbol by dragging a corner point.

   Please repair.

    Update Symbol Options dialog to remove the Movie Clip/Graphic dropdown which is noted as being for Flash tagging. Flash is dead tech.
