  1. 生成拡張メニュー

    生成拡張機能はオフにできるオプションも設けてほしい。右クリックメニューにも追加されたようなのでいつも使うコマンド(重ね順)へたどり着くのに大変邪魔になる。意図せずターンテーブルを作成し始めると、キャンセルもできないので作業に結構なタイムロスが発生します。

  2. Change the Gradient panel back!

    The new update ruined the Gradient menu panel. Its terrible, I want to access and save my gradients from the gradient panel not go back and forth between the gradient, swatch and libraries to find my gradients. With every update adobe programs are getting worse and worse. I've working with illustrator and photoshop for 20+ years and I am about ready to start using free software.

  3. Text in shape

    After all these years, have you still not included an easier way to type text in a box!?!?
    Darn it! It's so easy in InDesign, why can't you just do that in Illustrator too?
    I just want to type in a rectangular box and reshape the text box, with the text inside, without having to take the back route of "appearance." It's so complicated, I keep on forgetting how to use it. !!!!!±!!!!!!!@!@!!!!!!@!

    We have to take the darn back route of going into appearance and so on. It's pathetic.

  4. Add 'Cancel' option to Turntable

    There is no option to cancel Turntable once started. This is incredibly frustrating considering how many different locations the Turntable button is in. I often use the quick reflect buttons on the transform panel and continuously find myself clicking Turntable on accident because it is right below it. I then have to wait up to a minute for Turntable to finish before I can continue working. This also completely wastes my credits every time because the generations are unwanted. Genius business model.

    This could also be remedied by moving the Turntable button itself like Ton mentions here. I am all…

  5. Text on a circle - with top and bottom arcs of text married together uniformly

    Provide a simple text on circle interface that builds text on the top and bottom arcs of a circle. Its is not simple to do this accurately, keeping the circular alignment and the font size the same, using traditional methods. A tool that could marry the top and bottom arcs together, with control of each arc for advanced control, or simply mirroring the top and bottom text arcs in a uniform way would be a great time saver.

  6. Add "type on path" option when you right click on text that is on a path

    When I'm working with text that is already on a path, I'd like to be able to right-click to get to the "Type on Path" options. Would be very convenient and faster.

  7. Library assets in Illustrator Should Carry Asset Properties

    I would like Library Assets to carry all properties with them when bringing them into open artboards. For example a blue rectangle with a 0.25 pt inside stroke and a name "xyz2" should be just that when imported into a Layer.
    Currently "xyz
    2" comes in as <Clip Group>, with properties of a rectangle clipped together with another rectanglular shape that is not an outline, but an expanded appearance, and now I have three parts instead of one, minus the description.
    I'm checking out "xyz2" but getting "x" 'y" "z" "" "2"

  8. Favorites for presets (like swatches and brushes)

    First of all, I am really excited about the new textures and brushes released in the latest versions.
    It occurred to me that it would be useful to add a "favorite" flag for each of these tools.
    This way, a "favorites" folder or filter could be created, making it much faster to locate the resource.
    Also, I was wondering if the texture previews could be made even larger, so they can be viewed more quickly.

    Thanks.

  9. The invisible 'stroke path' effect in the Appearance stacks of strokes should be made visible.

    There is an invisible effect in an Appearance stack on a stroke wherein the stroke is actually rendered along the path. It is possible to place effects above or below this invisible effect by dropping the effect on the stroke's entry or within the stroke's expanded entry.

    It is very useful to be able to place effects before or after strokes are rendered, but it's very confusing to deal with when a crucial effect is invisible. If you create and place the effects the wrong way then a list of steps that used to work, or that work for the…

  10. Display a warning about missing fonts when saving a file

    Display a warning when saving a file if there is a font issue—either via a pop-up or perhaps during the saving process, similar to the warning about pixelation at 72 dpi.

    We get a warning during assembly, but once the assembly is complete and we create versions within that assembly, we don't reassemble it, and we no longer get any warnings about missing fonts. The only thing to do is to manually check whether the “Resolve missing font issues” option is enabled or not, and not everyone does that.

  12. Convert Text Frame to Shape

    Convert text frame to regular shape while preserving geometry and appearance

    Please add a command to convert a rectangular text frame into a regular vector shape while preserving its exact dimensions, position, fill, stroke, and stroke weight.

    For example:
    1 Select a rectangular area-text frame with a stroke.
    2 Choose Object > Content > No Content (similar to InDesign), or another appropriate command.
    3 Illustrator converts the text frame into a regular rectangular vector path.
    4 The exact geometry and appearance remain unchanged.

    This is particularly useful when working with Illustrator files that contain text frames which need to become…

  14. Enable Illustrator to retain the filenames of placed SVGs or EPS files when shift+dragging them to the canvas from Explorer or Finder..

    GOAL:

    I am in the process of re-coloring an SVG icon set that has 155 separate SVGs, and I want to then re-export all the modified icons with their original filenames. Unfortunately this appears to be impossible because Illustrator just assigns generic "<group>" names to every placed object.


    STEPS:

    • I place all SVGs I want to recolor into a new document by shift+dragging them from windows explorer to my open document.
    • After this action, all placed SVGs just get a generic name like “<group>”.

    See the image attached to this post. Or view the same image here

  15. More intelligent document setup

    When starting a new document, color mode RGB, for some reason, the swatches palette is populated with CMYK swatches, and the Black swatch is not 0,0,0. Please make this more relevant: When RGB is chosen, the user wants Black to be RGB Black.
    Also, let the user choose a background color to represent Alpha (just like After Effects does), or two checkerboard colors.

  16. Use full height of the monitor

    It would be nice to have a setting to let Illustrator use the monitor more efficient. Especially the tool palette could contain more tools visible on most big screens.

    And a section of the last used 5 tools. (Each with a keyboard shortcut!)

  17. Wider Data Fields Such That All Digits and Units Are Visible

    I would like data fields to be sufficiently wide that all digits and units are visible. For example, the Transform Window's X, Y, W and H fields, along with all the others. In addition to being able to see all data at a glance, this would make pasting values into the field much easier because prior to pasting you click once or more to select the current data. Being able to see the entire field allows visual confirmation of what you are about to replace. It is not usual to get tripped up by inadvertently including or excluding the units,…

  18. Line Cut Tool for Adobe Illustrator

    I would like to suggest a new tool for Adobe Illustrator called “Line Cut”.

    The concept is very simple: the user draws a straight line across any selected object, and Illustrator cuts the object along that line from one edge to the other.

    The tool should work with:

    • Vector shapes;
    • Compound paths;
    • Groups;
    • Text converted to outlines;
    • Multiple selected objects;
    • Placed or embedded raster images.

    For example, if I have a rectangle and draw a line through its middle, the tool would immediately divide the rectangle into two independent objects.

    The same concept should work with irregular vector shapes: the…

  19. Illustrator & Adobe Stock Integration

    Illustrator & Adobe Stock Integration

    Observation | A User may download and insert a comp image from Adobe Stock into their project while awaiting client image approval, however, relinking the file is a long an unnecessarily tedious process.

    Behaviour | The User places the comp Adobe Stock image into their project. The client approves the images. The User clicks the ReLink button, copies the comp image ID number from the filename in the top left of the screen, navigates to stock.adobe.com, pastes in the filename ID number and searches for the image. The User then downloads the high resolution image,…
