Remove F1 key as help key
I use the F-keys frequently for Actions. However, F1 is defaulted to launching Illustrator's help screen and I'm regularly hitting the key by mistake. Could we please have a different way to launch the help screen and free up the F1 key for other, customisable, uses?
1 voteThank you Ryan for your help.
Here is the way to customise the keys – please thank Ryan if you found it useful.“You can go to edit/keyboard shortcuts, then choose menu commands. Find help, and clear the F1 key from it or pick it as another one. Save it as your own custom keyboard preset and you’re good to go.”

Automation when opening multiple identical files for adjustments
Have 5 identical DXF files that need to be opened at the same scale (1-1 mm) centered on a 12 x 24 artboard and saved out as PDF. Some way to record this like an action so that when the second file is opened the scale, rulers and save as options are preserved, and perhaps the save to location. Process perhaps 300 such files per year and this would be a huge time saver. Even if only a single file it would be nice to have some persistent parameters that could be set when opening a file such as always show rulers and change units to inches and save as PDF.

Pg Up & Pg Down
Hi guys! I have a feature request. Usually the rule of thumb is if you can hotkey it or select it from a menu then you can build it into an action. There's one exception I've found.
Illustrator will respond to using the Page Up and Page Down keys on your keyboard to navigate your artboards. BUT it ignores these commands if you're recording an action.
We could make some really robust and powerful actions if we could program actions to navigate through the artboards. Please please please add this?
PS it would also be amazing if variables could navigate artboards too. So you could direct it that with each data set it would know to move to the next artboard to deposit the next data set. But... even just having that artboard navigation mentioned above could be rigged to enable this.

Double tab on layer to do shadows, stock, ... As Photoshop
We can do this to more control shadow to be like Photoshop
Thank you for reading.
I want your program to be better than any program (affinity designer)1 voteJust click a circle marker next to Layer name in Layers panel to target the whole layer and apply your shadow (or other effects) — it would get applied to it.

Export to SVG, export page knockout groups.
Page knockout groups seem to be ignored when exporting to SVG. You can manually change the knockouts to cutouts, for example using pathfinder divide and deleting the unwanted parts, but would be nice if you didn't need to.

Change the basis of the the zero angle
I've always found the decision to have zero degrees along the horizontal odd and out of whack with many other applications and approaches. Being able to assign it vertical (north), would be much more useful and predictable, so as not needing to assign negative or positive values, or other weird differentials to actually get the correct angle.

100 artboards
Over 100 Artboards please. This has been talked about for 3 years now to no avail.
I'm creating UI and it requires more that 100 pages. Why are we being constrained?

The Text font reflects the actual physical font size. We're doing sign, size of the font is very important to us.

For Illustrator software to work better with domain environment
We are currently getting a Preferences folder read-only error when Illustrator is opened by any domain user on any of our domain linked computers. Adobe technical support says that Illustrator currently is not tested for and is not approved to work in domain environments. This is preventing many users in our department from using this software.
I am requesting for Adobe Illustrator CC to be better compatible with domain environments.
Please see case# 0189187231 as a reference.
Thanks,

.ait Files not showing.
It would be great if indesign and Illustrator would use the same scripts. I have several in indesign that I desperately need in illustrator. ALSO it would be very great if we could assign Shortcuts to script. As well as adding a scripts Panel like in Indesign.
Thank you.

Designers are being asked to design for new end user media
Creating ways to take my vector to 3D, for 3D printing, CNC plasma cutting, and new ways that are being asked for designers and artist to file share and work better together. Exporting my work for auto cad, and 3D software, plotters etc and simplify the paths. There is 2D and there is 3D cad. But as an artist I want to be able to take what I have done in Illustrator and evolve my work and output options to and material to the next level. CorelDraw was just a play toy program. But it looks like they have got a handle on the how designers are being asked to design and create for customers other then just a computer vector art file for an ink printer. Now we are being asked to print material like metal, plastic, and the list goes on!

Assets panel multiple selection with just mouse
I want to use mouse and "Ctrl" to select assets I want to export in Asset Export panel. But I can't do that. Mouse works only as per 1 selection. Yes, I can hold "Ctrl" and click on different assets or use Shift to select some, but that not useful for me. Sometimes I want to select big groups of assets located at the beginning and end of the assets list, so I just want to hold "Ctrl" and play with mouse easily and fast by selecting any items.
****, it's like you just holding "Ctrl" and selecting folder with mouse in Finder. So easy and cool. Please add this option!I want to use mouse and "Ctrl" to select assets I want to export in Asset Export panel. But I can't do that. Mouse works only as per 1 selection.

Show slices names
I'm looking for a simple but very useful option for slices:
"Show slice name"Currently in setting of Illustrator there are only option:
"Show slice numbers", - file attached.
But it's doesn't give me anything actually.
I've created names for each slice and I need to check these names visually, without need to select each slice and goto it slice settings..1 vote -
Jump to selected object in Level Inspector
Please add auto jump in Level Inspector while selecting your objects on your artboard. It's really annoying to scroll down until you find the selected one. Thanks!

Importoptionen dauerhaft sichtbar
Seit einiger Zeit können in Illustrator die Importoptionen nicht mehr dauerhaft eingeschaltet (sichtbar sein)!
Es ist sehr nervig und kostet viele Klicks, wenn man immer erst auf den Optionen-Button klicken muss, um die derzeitigen Einstellungen zu sehen.1 vote -
Exportación de recursos - Translated Asset Export
La herramienta de exportación de recursos me parece genial y muy práctica pero los archivos pierden calidad.
Genero diferentes dibujos dentro de un mismo archivo para imprimir camisetas y esa opción para nombrar los archivos y exportarlos es muy rápida.
La realidad es que pierden mucha calidad y tengo que acabar generando mesas de trabajo diferentes y exportandolos de forma tradicional.
Creo que si mejoraran ese aspecto sería ya la herramienta perfecta.

The asset export tool looks great and very practical but the files lose quality.
I generate different drawings inside the same file to print t-shirts and that option to name the files and export them is very fast.
The reality is that they lose a lot of quality and I have to end up generating different work tables and exporting them in a traditional way.
I think if they improved that aspect would be the perfect tool.
