GRID in BACK/FRONT button
It would be great to have the option of GRID ON BACK and GRID IN FRONT in the Properties panel, for example. near the SHOW GRID button as when working with GRIDS sometimes it's better to have them in front and others in back and for this I have always to get into the Preferences panel so as to activate/deactivate this option and it's really annoying...

Make it flexible to stylize graphs and edit data without messing the graph design
Please allow it that we can stylize the graphs without ungrouping it so we can still edit the data anytime as needed. Creating graphs (data and style) should be efficient. As of the latest version, every time we edit graph data, the horizontal lines (x-axis) get messed up. (Please see attachment with file name: graph with style...)
And there is this wide space on the start (left of the graph). Not sure why the graph tool has this wide space from the left side every time it generates the graph. (Please see attachment with file name: graph wide space...)

X & Y Sliders for Quicker Movement and Precision
Please make X and Y position for an object have a slider like After effects. Instead of clicking the arrow keys or putting in a value, I should be able to select and object, then hover over they X or Y value and use the slider to only affect the object in one direction. This would greatly speed up layout design and allow for more precision. After effects does this perfectly already, and I think it would be a great addition to Illustrator. I would also say this feature could be added to W and H.

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。

Want to see a cloud/web based Illustrator
Want to see a cloud/web based Illustrator
2 votesAs per the comment, Illustrator on the web is now a thing and you can try it.
If you have a Creative Cloud subscription that includes Illustrator, go to https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/illustrator and learn more here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/web/illustrator-web-faq.html
You also have to be an a state that is allowed to use new Adobe services.

The size of the box should attenuate AI generator detail
I love the new AI feature, but creating a smaller box for the AI to generate in should attenuate the detail. A simple "bird" command creates an overly-detailed drawing for the scene, even with the detail slider set to "1"

more purchase options
Hi.
I have an issue trying Adobe Illustrator. I would like to try the stencil features to find out if it will meet my needs. The problem is i am forced to add my credit card details just for using the 7 day free trial. I am not prepared to do that at this time due to the fact that Adobe may not work out for me. Then im stuck dealing with automatic payments.
The other issue is the high monthly or yearly subscription costs. I would only use illustrator once in a while and cant justify the monthly cost.
And lastly, Adobe doesnt have an option to buy the full software for one payment only.
With that being said, im disappointed in Adobe for not offering a 7 day free trial for people to try the software, and that you cant buy the full program.
I feel Adobe are hindering themselves from potential customers.
At this point in time, i will have to decline the services that are currently in place.
At the moment, i am using Photoshop Elements 10, and i find the stencil features are less than adequate, and are not as defined as it could be. Hence im looking to try any other means that are out there.
I would like to hear your reply on this, so if you would respond, please contact me at ecce1@hotmail.com.
Kind regards

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.

Make it possible for a Graphic Style to mark some symbols as being part of it.
So right now I have a workflow that involves making a lot of complex appearance stacks, saving them as a Graphic Style, then later bringing them into another file by hitting the 'library' button in the Graphic Styles palette and navigating to it via the Other Library file picker.
If I import a style that uses a brush or a global color swatch or a pattern swatch or a width profile, those assets will get imported. But a style that uses a symbol won't import the symbol, and this is a really annoying little exception. It is, perhaps, not surprising that this exception exists since none of Illustrator's native effects use symbols.
But lately I have been doing a lot of stuff with Astute Graphics' Halftone and Stipple effects. Both of these live effects have modes where they can spray symbols across a fill or a stroke based on the underlying art. They can even mix multiple symbols across the art. They're pretty powerful and a lot of fun.
I use these effects in complex Appearance stacks, and save these stacks as Graphic Styles so I can access them quickly with one click. Everything works fine up to this point as long as I'm in the same document.
But when I open a new document and want to bring those styles over, I hit the library button in the Styles palette and load in the file with the styles... and the styles come over without the symbols they rely on. I have to open the same file as a library in the Symbol palette and import all the symbols, then convince the Styles palette to regenerate all its thumbnails.
(If I copy and paste a path with one of these styles from one file to another, it does bring across the symbols. But then I run into problems where some of the other effects I use get expanded into bitmaps when they travel through the copy buffer.)
The nice folks at Astute tell me there's no way for their effect plugins to tell Illustrator that these symbols are associated with a Graphic Style, so that they would be automatically imported when I import a style. Please give them a way to do this. Thanks.
Attached: a file with one Graphic Style that uses some symbols via Astute's Stipplism plugin.

Animated Zoom for Mouse wheel
Please add the Animated Zoom function for the mouse wheel, now this can only be done using the "Z" key and the mouse movement. It is very inconvenient to scroll using alt + mouse wheel when the percentage of increase jumps from 66% to 100% in one turn of the mouse wheel. The trackpad on the macbook zooms very well, but it is not convenient to use. Add a switch to the "General" settings next to the scroll wheel " Use Animated Zoom to scroll with the mouse.

Apply Template to file
I would like the ability to "apply template" to a graphic file so that styles with the same name from one template would update to a graphic with styles that have been updated to different parameters.
Example:
I work on proposals and the font/character/graphic styles vary from project to project based on RFP requirements for submission (each State has different requirements you must adhere to). We have many "boilerplate" graphics that are reused, but the fonts and, sometimes, the colors must be changed to meet requirements.
I have a master template for graphics and update the styles based on the requirements for each proposal project. The style names stay the same but the attributes change.
It would be AWESOME if I could open a graphic file from a project we did 6 months ago, click "Apply Template Styles" and have the character/font/graphic styles automatically update to the master template for the new project.I've tried using "Load Character Styles" and "Load All Styles", but this is only adding styles not already included in the list; it is not updating like-named styles.
I someone has a better way of wording this, I'd appreciate and welcome some clarification!I would like the ability to "apply template" to a graphic file so that styles with the same name from one template would update to a graphic with styles that have been updated to different parameters.

Window Menu shows active panels as checked names but does not indicate panels that are tabbed in a group. Maybe add gray checks?
Window Menu shows active panel as checked names but does not indicate those that are tabbed in a group. Maybe if we put a grayed out check next to tabbed panels? So that the unchecked are obviously panels not activated at all.

Randomize shape effect
I would love a tool like "Roughen" that instead gives the shape a randomized, slightly affected path to give a more hand-drawn feel. There is a VERY small window with Roughen, that kind of gives this effect, before it gives a "spiked" appearance, but a tool to specifically randomize a "hand drawn" look would be nice.

Montserrat Semibold has problems syncing
The Montserrat font is experiencing synchronization issues, even though it is installed in Creative Cloud. It disconnects every time, while the other fonts remain normal. Please check the bug.
In the screenshot I am sending, you can notice that the Montserrat Semibold font is not appearing.

Batch convert to AI format
I would appreciate a way to batch convert multiple vector files (eps, svg, etc.) to .ai format.
I get a lot of eps files, and I would like to convert them to Illustrator files all at once without having to open them individually and saving them one at a time. I thought this used to be possible in Bridge, but I can't find anyone else who remembers this.
Thank you!2 votes -
Version history to log a new version upon opening old file
As of now, Version History deletes old versions after 30 days unless it was marked manually, which is fine and makes sense. However, as you open a more-than-30-days-old file that was not marked and you modify it beyond your History limit, there is no way you can revert back to the original file, at least if you have the autosave enabled, which is to be expected.
I therefore suggest to automatically log a version as you open a file that didn't contain any (more than 30 days old...)
