1. Convert expanded strokes back to live strokes (unexpand / unoutline strokes) / Find centerlines

   So far there is no way to de-expand strokes back to live strokes.

   The suggested practice is to cut the shape in pieces and blend pairs with 1-step blends, expand and join manually — a tedious solution. We have to keep strokes alive as long as possible if we plan to edit them after. The effects we can use to make an art non-destructive are quite limited.

   We now have cool Reform plugin by AstuteGraphics that allows to edit expanded strokes in a different way, but is does not solve the original problem and only helps to workaround and offers fluidity other tools don’t have... it can’t resurrect strokes.

   Other solutions, in other apps, try to trace instead of reconstruct, and results are pretty poor most of the time.

2. Option to disable Rotate View

   I think the new rotate view update is great if you want to work from multiple angles. But I’ve found it extremely difficult to work while using my trackpad because when ever I zoom in on my projects rotate view is automatically triggered and I have to keep going back to reset my view. As someone who works on multiple art boards at once this happens in a smaller span of time which tends to become annoying after a while.

3. Gradients don't snap to grid or to Smart Guides

   I can't believe I haven't posted it, but the search says so.
   Since CS4, I guess, when the cool and fancy gradient annotator showed up, the Gradient tool had lost it's ability to snap to grid. WHY? Do you think nobody needs to snap gradients? I need, at least.
   It should also snap to Smart guides!

   Everything must snap to grid, when Snap to grid is enabled.

5. Make Illustrator PDFs more automatically accessible

   Accessibility is incredibly important. Obviously Adobe wants to help but it is incredibly limited in Illustrator. If you supply multiple artboards, character and paragraph styles and great text placement options, you should make the PDF export carry those options through. What's the point of using InDesign when you only have two pages? Who needs to files for every project?

6. Asset Export - Ability to reorder asset list view and group items

   Asset Export - Ability to reorder asset list view:

   Love the asset export, but it'd be really useful to click/drag change the order of my asset list in Asset Export panel.

   It would also be great to have an option to group by art board. When I have a file of 20+ ad variants as their own individual artboard and want to export assets, it's a pain to keep track of things. It's also too bad that if I make a new asset later in the process, there's no way to group that asset next to the others in the same artboard, it's stuck at the bottom of the list.

7. CMD - CMD + : Zoom to center screen as in Previous versions

   In new versions, CMD + and CMD - Zoom to center of a selected object rather than always the centre of the screen.
   It would be great if the possibility to restore the old feature was given.

8. Clipping path in JPEG image file works in placement

   A JPEG file can include clipping path. This clipping path works well when placed in InDesign. However, Illustrator ignores this clipping path.

   If clipping path in JPEG works in placement, the user will be more creative.

9. Keyboard shortcut to duplicate a layer and its content or an object

   Please consider creating a keyboard shortcut that will duplicate a selected layer and its content, as in PsCC, for example.

   In PsCC one can duplicate a selected layer and its contents by using either of two keyboard shortcuts: 1) 'Ctrl+J' -or- 2) 'Alt+(any up/down/left/right arrow)'.

   In either case, the duplicated layer+content will appear above the selected layer.

   Thank you.

11. More toggle buttons in top row / panel full of indicators

    You know, AI has a lot of options that can be turned on and off.
    And some of them switched on and off quite often: Snap to Grid, to Point, to Glyph, to Pixel... Guides, Smart Guides, Edges (can be both locked and / or hidden), Artboard Edges, Corner Widgets, Bounding Box...

    Of course, all of them can be accessed via View menu, but you just don't see them there! Users need no only SWITCH them, but KNOW what current state is.

    Are my guides are turned off or I've deleted them or moved occasionally?
    I want to draw a complex thing — is my grid's snap is turned on or I need to do it before I start?
    And so on.

    What about Use Preview Bounds? Hidden in Preferences.
    What about, Transform Pattern Tiles?
    Scale Strokes and Effects and Scale Strokes are duplicated in Transform, but that’s it.

    So we need indicator switches.
    And ideally we should choose ourselves which buttons we want to put there.

    You've started understanding it, when added these to Properties panel.
    But you take them away from those who don't use this panel.

    And yet you have a perfect place for these switches, in fact you already sort of using this place! It's right next to the rocket GPU icon.
    Put grid-snaps-widgets-indicators there, so we can always know what our current useful limitations are.

    Sure, this would make it seem like it’s an app level thing... at the same time we have Control panel and it’s above documents’ tabs anyway.
    Yes, you can make it a separate horizontal panel, but it will eat up the vertical space... you can put it in Control, but it’s full and we can’t make one sections of it to take priority over others.

    Still we need it!

12. Split paths by currently applied dash settings

    Hi - I was directed here via adobe and illustrator support teams on twitter.

    I'm submitting a suggestion for a function or feature for adobe illustrator in which the user may subdivide a dashed path into individual smaller paths, by the measurement and placement of said dash style. I have seen many different suggestions and workarounds for this over the past few years but none actually execute this specific action. (Setting to .0001 stroke, expanding, then deleting excess points isn't ideal!)

    In my current role, and in our office, we design and create physical package design comps. we frequently use perforations in our designs, often with custom spacing, and use illustrator as a hand-off program for graphics and pre-cad conversion. Currently, the cad programs we use do not read or accept each other's different perforation styles (perhaps the programs see them just as that - styles, thus the paths aren't actually altered). Therefore this suggestion aims to use illustrator, the middleman program for our process, to subdivide a path via its dashes during the design process which in turn translates into a custom perforation in our final comp.

    Attached file shows how the function might look/act

    Thanks for your time!

13. Make gradient swatches global

    Gradient swatches should be globally applicable. This would mean they´d need to be editable - either in Swatch Options just like other swatches or replacable by dragging a altered version of a gradient onto the old swatch. (At the moment, the only option is the swatch title)

14. Ability to edit a graphic style in Graphic Styles

    If I want to edit an existing and saved graphic style, I have to apply it to an object, go to Appearance, make changes, open Graphic Styles palette again and Alt+Drag object with style over style thumbnail (or dig into the menu to redefine it). This is very long way.
    If I just select a style and go to Appearance and make changes — the link between style and appearance will just vanish (the name of style vanishes), these changes will apply only to new art, and style itself won't be changed (unless I redefine it immediately).
    Please, make a way to quickly edit styles without drag-n-drop routine. Why not double-clicking style thumb open Appearance in edit style mode or something? Why it only allows to change name? Why double-clicking swatch allows to change the color, but double-clicking style only allows to change name?

15. New artboard default to spacing set in Rearrange artboard panel

    It would be useful if when you create a new artboard that the spacing between it and the previous one reflects the spacing you have defined in the 're-arrange artboards' panel.

    Currently it defaults to something around 7/8mm which is annoying when you have artwork that spills over, as moving the artboard drags the artwork with it. I know you can turn that feature off, but the spacing defaulting to what you've already defined would still be very useful.

    Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Beta build 29.4.0.49 now adds enhanced hex code format and extends support for input color values in decimal format, string name format.

    Shortened Codes: single-digit (F = FF0000), double-digit (FA = FAFAFA), three-digit (123 = 112233)

    Decimal Format Support: enter values like 12,255,09 or 12 255 09 or 12.255.09 and get accurate translations — 0cff09.

    Predefined CSS Color Names: use names like 'red' (FF0000), 'blue' (0000FF), or even partial matches like 'ye' for yellow (FFFF00).

    Please try this and comment back if it works as you expect it to.

18. Allow to set custom default layer colors, with options

    In 2017 we asked to allow to customize colors for layers, so that edges drawn for object didn’t burn our eyes out: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31535431

    In 2020 Illustrator team removed yellow color from the default 5th color for new layers, shifting the order, but never did anything with cyan, gray, black...

    We need an ability to set up our own order for these colors.

    We need to be able to store these as presets, so we can switch these.

    We need a way to make a certain order preferred in a template or a document profile.

    We need an ability to remap current colors for layers to any other chosen preset order, top deal with imported files.

    We need an ability to lock a certain color as a constant default ones, for those who need a single edge color, but many layers.

    We need a way to ask Illustrator to automatically pick a color based on the layer’s content, to contrast nicely with the art within.

    We need a dynamic 'difference' color, so that an edge could pop no matter the content (except for grays, sadly).

    We need an ability to pick these color no only using ugly OS picker, but our own swatches.

    There are some improvements still to be made, and the team is aware of some of them.
    Please search for the related requests here on UserVoice forums or add new ones if you can’t find a suitable one.
