球体のワイヤーフレーム描画に特化したエフェクトを用意して欲しい
学生向けの講義や試験問題を作成する上で、
幾何学での球体の描画や、天文学での黄道座標系、
太陽の方位や高度の説明図を作成するのに非常に苦労する。半円を基に、効果 → 回転体(クラシック)で作成しても、
アピアランス分割、グループ解除、パスの分割等の作業がとてもに苦痛である。Inkscapeに実装されている、「ワイヤーフレーム球体」の様な機能が
Illustratorに実装されれば非常に助かります。ご検討をよろしくお願いいたします。

Clear guides should delete guides in transparency masks too
Just took me ages to work out why i couldnt remove guides from a file and discovered they existed only within various transparency masks and had to go through each mask individually to remove them. Clear guides feature should remove those too, surely?!

Auto synchronised text boxes for copy
Have two or more separate text boxes synchronise to the same text when either one is edited.
When creating numerous different sized online banner advertisements, each with multiple copy variations, it would be beneficial if I could synchronise the copy of one across all creative versions.

Live Update Prewiew
I'm exploring a dynamic feature in Adobe Illustrator for live visualization of nested symbols. Think MC Escher tessellations – I would like to see how changes to one symbol affect the entire design in real-time. Any insights or techniques for achieving this precision are highly appreciated.

Rename artboards and layers easily
Please develop a method to easily rename artboards and layers. An option to switch between layers by pressing tab would be great. An option to find and replace text in artboard names would be perfect.
At the moment renaming artboards is a time consuming process because you have to doubleclick every artboard separately and enter text.3 votesAi now support pressing Tab while renaming difference items in panels, including layers, artboards, symbols, etc.
Find and Replace in names is not yet an option, but there are many free scripts that allow that.

Package and Export for Screens / Assets: Same As Current Document Folder button
In Package dialog I’d like to have a button to change the path to the location of the current document.
BTW, same button is needed in Export for Screens / Assets dialog.

'Exclude stroke width' option in Transform effect
When I apply Transform effect to a stroked object, Illustrator includes stroke width and the resulting effect isn't aligned to the main object's skeleton. Consider that I want to mirror a shape and what I expect is the paths to perfectly align to each other. But what happens is that Illustrator treats strokes like they are expanded paths. I usually have to move the effect to correct it.
There should be an option in Transform effect that let the user exclude stroke width from effect. That would resolve this issue.

コンテキストタスクバーをデフォルトから非表示にできる機能
コンテキストタスクバーがデフォルトで表示されてしまって、その都度非表示にするのが煩わしいため、デフォルトから非表示にできる機能をお願いします

Resize Artboard: Fit to visible.
When dealing with a single page of artwork, resizing the artboard to artwork bounds does not take layers being hidden into consideration. So you have an artboard larger than your desired artwork.
Along with fit-to-artwork bounds and fit-to-selected artwork, can we have a third option for fit-to-visible layers, please?3 votes -
Option to save / export values in 64 bits
I work in metric, and everything works perfectly until I have to export file to the CAD software which uses higher accuracy.
If I have a line of 42 mm, actual dimension is 42.00007 (because the way illustrator stores values in points, and getting rounded in 32bit).
Problem really shows up if I have to scale things 1000-10000 timesWould be amazing if Illustrator had an option to save / export values in 64bits

Allow to merge layers faster, like in Photoshop
So, what I think could easily be done is just taking the already existing Layer Merge Down code from Photoshop, and literally just pasting it where it would work. I think this would be very useful.

Export Workspaces
It would be great to be able to EXPORT WORKSPACES so as to keep a backup copy of them.

Illustrator desktop windows版でのツール切替えのショートカット
MacOSと同じように、WindowsのIllustratorでも、日本語入力状態でツール切替えのショートカット（vで選択ツール・sで拡大ツール・rで回転ツールなど）が使えるようにしてほしいです。あるとないとでは、便利さが段違いですから。

Updating artboard dropdown to include social media and saving custom artboards
The current artboards dropdown menu hasn't been changed in years. It should include social media and trending medium sizes. We should also have the ability to save artboard sizes that are custom to our needs. Just add a "Save artboard" in the dropdown or tool workspace. The current method of saving a template and then having to search, open and then resave the template takes too long and requires too many steps.

Improved text editing while within an envelope
Currently if you want to edit text that's inside an envelope, depending on how warped it is, it can be difficult to edit the text directly. The workaround is to 'release' the envelope in the 'Envelope Distort' menu, edit the text, then reapply the text to the envelope using 'Make with top object'. Perhaps improve the text editing to match the shape and size of the envelope or have a popup window that displays the text in normal format and edit it that way.
In my example, the black boxes is the original text but editing has proved difficult.3 votes -
Puppet Warp tool should be able to affect meshes.
I could have pushed this object around in seconds if the Puppet Warp tool worked on meshes. Instead I have to laboriously grab and move one point at a time to make the distortion meshes in this glass match up with the body of it.
Please remedy this so that the next time I try to use the Puppet Warp tool to push stuff around that happens to contain a distortion mesh, I don't get this error.
If there's any other type of object that will spawn a "The Puppet Warp tool does not support this type of object" error then please include fixing that in the scope of this request, as well. I feel like the only kind of object that I would be okay with seeing that error for is a bitmap image. Everything else should be puppetwarpable.

Files should remember proof setup
Every time I open my files I'm having to force Illustrator back to proof as Monitor RGB. It keeps defaulting to Working CMYK which is no use on an RGB file.
It would be great if files retained proof settings.

アートボードごとに、「スクリーン用に書き出す」際のファイル形式を設定、保存ができるようにしてほしい / Allow to set format per asset/artboard in Export for Screens
現在の「スクリーン用に書き出す」は、この操作を行うたびにファイル形式を設定する必要があり、しかも全てのアートボードを同一のファイル形式でしか書き出せない。そしてファイル形式は書き出すたびに初期化されてしまう。これは不便である。
これを、例えばアートボードオプションで、アートボードごとに書き出すファイル形式を設定し、その設定を保存できるようになれば大変便利になるはず。

Smart Guides: prioritize artboards, respect logical hierarchy
This situation has been frustrating for many, many years:
I'm zoomed out to a level that makes it tricky for AI to understand what I want Smart Guides to snap to.
There are many elements in my doc that could be desired for that snapping, but they are a mix of paths, compound paths, placed media, and artboards. Many of these things are FAR away from the elements I'm trying to snap.
AI either doesn't have any perceived hierarchy or it prioritizes snapping in an obscure way, and it will attempt to snap to those far away things instead of A) things nearby, or B) art boards, which are objectively the most important/obvious thing to be snapping to (that is, if it's a 50/50 choice).
The desired behavior (IMO) would be for AI to choose snapping based on clear criteria, such as:
- Closest artboard corner
- Closest artboard edge
- Closest group or compound path
- Closest element inside a group or compound path
- Closest placed media
...etcetera. The above is just a "for instance," but you get the logic — when in doubt, choose the highest thing in the hierarchy, and that hierarchy starts with artboards since those are much more substantial than floating elements and because most designers align things to those more than they do other elements.
