STOP changing the behavior of the tools!
I have used AI for over 20 years -- I've even been featured in books!! Why the F is the team changing the behavior of tools. IT AINT BROKEN and you're making it worse.
Just in the last 5 minutes I've found that I can no longer rotate a text box and have the text rotate, as well. Now the text stays put and the box rotates. WHY?
Also, when I save a new document (with it set to AI editable pdf) it's saving some other copy and the document that's currently open is still unsaved and untitled. How is that an improvement?? If I hadn't noticed, i'd end up losing work on this untitled/unsaved working copy.
Those aren't the only issues, just the two most recent. What are you doing over there, Adobe?

Recolor Artwork Link Harmony Colors on by default
We only ever need to use the Recolor Artwork feature with the Link Harmony Colors on. Is it possible to have it remember the last setting that you used rather than defaulting to it not being on.
Not a big thing but would be handy!

possibility to open AI and PDF files in AI
I am working on color files for shoes using Illustrator in multi-page. It would be great if I wouldn't have to share the files.
But we are several people using the files, with different versions of AI, or for some of us only Acrobat.
So what happens very often and drives me crazy is that I can't open files (incl my own) in multi page, and even if I can open page by page (and waste a lot of time putting them back together) it is with a lot of clipping masks created by the app and which make it much less fluid to work.
Of course if someone in the team or outside has the latest version of AI, same thing again :(Is it possible to avoid destroying the files workability whenever someone uses another version of AI or Acrobat??
Some non-Adobe applications are able to open multi-page AI files, so why not AI itself, it is company policy?Thanks for your help!

Sort out functionality of library assets
Seems a lot of people are struggling with Library assets for various reasons. I think this feature is massively under developed for what should be a great strength across Adobe applications. I still have Illustrator V17 in use as the Library works better than the current version for me, so my subscription is wasted money. I've complained before but to no avail. I create many line drawings with common line segments, so I drag these in from the Library, which creates consistency and should be time saving. Currently each one option-dragged no longer remembers the layer it came from and is a group, so you can't join 2 library items with a new path unless they are ungrouped! Come on developers - help us all out!

Batch import of .ase files directly to the swatches palette
For example, if I have a dozen .ase files from different colleges, opening them one by one and adding them to my swatches takes time. I'd rather put them into a folder and have Illustrator import them all. Having them import as Color Groups should be kept.
I'd like to be able to do this.
Swatches > Open Swatch Library > Other Library > [folder name]
Every .ase file in that folder should open up/be imported in my swatches palette. Bam! I'm done!2 votes -
Save PDF and rasterize one layer
It will be great if we can choose some layers to be auto rasterized when exporting to pdf. I keep very complex paterns in a different layer and always need to manually rasterize it to get a light pdf and error free on Rip software.

The new behavior of art being clipped when it goes over the artboard bounding edge an option to turn on or off in preferences
The clipped art over an artboard edge should be an option to turn on and off. Some users do not want this behavior all the time and if it were a preference, the user can control when it should get clipped.

Please provide an option to disable the brush size preview circle
Please provide an option to disable the brush size preview circle (the little circle that appears under your cursor whether you are using the mini paintbrush or the precise (crosshairs) cursor.
I want to use illustrator for screen casting, and while most screen capture software can hide the cursor, they do not recognize the little circle as part of the cursor so it shows up in videos when you'd rather just have drawings appear.

Let us customize what shortcuts are in the right click popup panel
Allow users to select what shortcuts or tools, actions, etc... appear in the default Right click popup panel.
The same way we can choose which tools show in which docks i believe it would improve productivity speed tremendously for users using mice or devices that either have awkward or no hot key peripherals. eg a a laptop or wireless keyboard that has strange key arrangements. non cintiq users ... even cintiq users could benefit... esp. mobile users in tight places where you can't fold out wireless shortcut devices like on trains and planes, buses, cars etc...
It started with me wishing i could just have the cut and paste options in the right click panel but now I'm realizing i use so many actions over and over during each project it would be great if i could just set those actions in that panel early on each project start -perhaps even save different right click panel layouts and name them to be loaded depending on the type of project.
thanks for considering!

CreativeCloud history backup for lost files.
What if we have a Cloud history for any step we make in Adobe products to backup if we lost the file or don't save in accident? like Time Machine. I want to revive lost updates that I didn't save.

Hide Grid on Perspective Tool
The "hide grid" function is so frustrating to select. Can it be larger or the target area around it be bigger?

Custom background color for tool windows
Currently working with dual monitors, one monitor has most of my tool windows.
If I am using one window of tools most of the time, it would be nice to set the base color to orange so I can spot it easier. Or even group windows that are similar to say green, and rarely used windows would remain grey.2 votes -
SVG export: Universally-unique class names for internal CSS or option for prefix token.
AI's auto-generated class names are only file-unique. Collisions occur if different exported svgs are inlined in the same container (html) document. This prevents a primary way of using SVGs on the web.
Suggest an option (or default behavior) where class names are universally unique, or where a file-name or user chosen token is prepended to classnames.

矢印ツールとは別に「移動モード」を。
オブジェクト選択後、特定のキーを押すことで「移動モード」に移行するようにしてほしい。
複数のオブジェクトを選択し、それらを同時に移動させようとした場合、任意のオブジェクトを全て選択した後、最後にいずれかのオブジェクトを正確にクリックしてドラッグする流れになるが、この最後にいずれかのオブジェクトを選択する際に誤ってオブジェクト以外をクリックしてしまうと、今までのShiftを押しながら沢山選択してきた作業が水の泡になる。
移動モードに移行すると、選択したオブジェクト以外を選択しても選択が解除されることはなく、心ゆくまで正確に移動を行った後、決定ボタンなりダブルクリックなりで移動モードは解除される。
現在の編集モードの選択したオブジェクト限定版という動きにしても良いかもしれない。
選択したオブジェクトの精密な移動方法としてこの「移動モード」の実装を強く要望します。

Keyboard command for "Find and Replace" Text or ability to add a Keyboard Shortcut.
In Adobe Illustrator: Why is there not a keyboard command to bring up the "Find and Replace" dialog box or the ability to add your own Keyboard Shortcut to do this?

It would be helpful if you made allowable suggestions, such as, " paint in clipping paths not allowed, convert to paint group now."<
If you're not going to make your paint feature natural or useful, then you could provide allowable suggestions. Suggestions such as, " Paint in clipping paths not allowed, convert to paint group now," then you would click yes or no to convert. Instead, you have created an information loop Where your customers have a problem, you acknowledge the problem, and send your customers on their way to find their own solutions to solve that problem. A problem you have created in the first place. This would be a very helpful feature for you to add.
