Different number of copies for each artboard
Hi,
I've a document in Illustrator with a lot of pages (artboards).
I must print a specific number of copies for each page.
Example: for the page number one I must print 20 copies, for the page two I must print 60 copies, ecc
Is there a way to forward this request with one command or I must select one by one page?
I've found this trick but is very complicated if I've a lot of pages to print: in the label of range of artboards I write : 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,ecc

Add option when creating New View to opt out from changing zoom level
The custom Views is a godsend for complex artwork, but sometimes it would be nice to keep the zoom level and toggle only the Layers settings (visibility, lock status, etc). So either an option when saving the custom View, or a program-wide preference setting would be highly appreciated. In this way, the request for a layer visibility toggle shortcut could also be partially addressed.

I want to make a suggestion, it might be profitable for Adobe. (IDK where to post it, but like a feedback)
Copy of what I posted here https://forums.adobe.com/message/10555191
(Idk where to post this since I kinda tried to find where I can suggest such a thing for multiple platforms)
1st of all, big fan of illustrator, and quite loved it when I used it for arts that captivated even my teachers
Examples of what I did on my free time:
Vector Artwork - Group 57 CyberCap by thunder-of-light on DeviantArt (made 2 head-shots per day, and I am the only one with colored eyes)
Ben Franklin taking a selfie by thunder-of-light on DeviantArtTake note I really, REALLY hate piracy (I am the supportive type), but I also dislike that some things I can't even afford or even access (no internet at my place, so monthly payments are out of the question for the time being).
- I want to actually buy a legit copy of Adobe series, one it gives me joy of support to the creators, and I don't feel down when using them.
I got little to no money, but I wanted to save up for such programs.
I do not trust E-Bay, Amazon, and the sort, bad experience of buying illegal copies at first, had to report them but got no money back. Never bought once since then.
Anyhow to the main point of my suggestion:
Selling older products at lower price based on their version on your website. In a way it's a form of anti-piracy, it does encourage people to actually buy a less risky platform, and even add some level of support, not only to adobe but most people's self confidence.
I would love to at least see your starting programs, might be relics, but they did start your business. (I do keep some relics games at my place, even an old Pokemon yellow cartridge, due to fond memories).
Reason why it is important to me, is that I studied with Illustrator, Photoshop, and even Flash, yet while trying to experience the "Free" variety (such as inkscape)... it doesn't really give the same shortcuts for work.

Show all tabs when switching to fullscreen mode
When switching to Full Screen Mode I can only see the document I'm working with. Why not show all the open documents like tabs?
I don't understand why the tabs disappear just because I'm switching to fullscreen.

[BUG] xmpMM:DocumentID isn't unique at creation stage
When you create new documents, they all share the same XMP documentID value while you would expect it's unique for every single new document.
Saving the document solves the issue but it means one can't rely on documentID uniqueness while the document isn't saved.
It needs to be unique at the creation stage already.2 votes

Moving as a feature request. We generate an unique value only on file save. When you create a file it inherits all the attributes of the preset it uses. This is the reason you see the same uuid each time you create the document,

Ability to search functions
For example, in rhino I can type all the functions without having to search through the menus with my mouse
2 votesIn latest version of Illustrator you can access Discover panel by hitting F1 or via Help menu.
This new window allows you to search within tools, commands, tutorials, etc. — but no commands form other panels’ menus, or scripts, or actions.
If you need this functionality, or have any other comments regarding this panel — please do it here or in a separate request.

Making a light prezi like presentation mode inside adobe illustrator by defining views and a presentation view panel
Please add a presentation mode functionality, something like prezi or focusky like animations between views inside illustrator itself.
The user should have ability to define views inside art boards. Each view consists of scale, rotations and position like prezi, on every slide change the view changes animatingly between the views.
For now I use Shift + page down and page up to switch between artboards. But not inside an artboard and not with animations. I push f twice and enter full screen and its cool. But there can be a lite presentation mode managed by a small panel, containing views, which each view can have size and rotation and a button for entering presentation mode and a predefined animation like prezi to move from views is enough and satisfies the users.
Each view may have a memory for layers visibility also, to appear new layers in presentation process along multiple views, common in size, position and rotation, but differ in some layers visibility.
Users will love it.

let me interact with the artboard while having appearance-effect dialogues open
As soon as a dialogue from the effects panel is open (e.g. 3D extrude & bevel or drop shadow, etc. ...) I cannot interact with my artwork anymore as the dialogue box hogs the focus. This is really annoying as you often want to adjust the size or position of your object when editing the effects to better see if everything meshes well together

To be able to make Illustrator a 3D drawing software as well.
I want to be able to have a 3D view of the artwork, because illustrator is based on paths I thought rather that it would be cool to navigate it in 3D.
2 votesLatest versions of Illustrator allow to covert flat vector objects into 3D ones and export them into 3D formats or flat images — with Effect > 3D and Materials effects, also accessible from Window > 3D and Materials panel.

Autodesk designer had this feature. Need real line weighting. Please offer handle rotation/individual handle movement in the Width tool?
Please consider the same bezier path tools incorporated into the Pen Width tool. My inkling cleanup would be a breeze and this may be an easy and awesome feature enhancement. Autodesk Designer used to have this tool and it saved a LOT of time.

Show Layer/Object name in Properties Panel
Could the name of the currently selected object or layer be displayed (and even editable) in the Properties panel, at the very top where it tells you what is currently selected? That would save so much time.
Other than that, really like the new Properties panel!

Change default point type (corner or smooth) when using Join tool
When joining two open paths using the Join tool, the point created at their intersection will always be smooth, even if the two paths previously ended in corners (such as in the diagram). I would like to please request that the Join tool give the user the option to choose what kind of point (corner or smooth) it will create.
In the same vein, may I request that an option to remove previous points be added? (indicated by red arrows on diagram attached)
Finally, when trying to convert that new point to a corner, one must first explicitly change it to a smooth point, then to a corner. This is small, but quite frustrating.

selective display of graphic elements
When working with large files for large prints, we often run with slow-down issues due to having many vectorized images and transparency modes. Normally one knows who is the culprit and it would be nice to be able to select some sort of 'low-res' representation of the heavy graphics so it does not slow down the machine so much.

"Sowing"
So the name is called "Sowing" for the reason as shown in the picture. The object doesn't necessarily have to have so many "cuts."
The idea is to make "slices" within a single object, which allows a stroke or other object to over- and underlap an object in a single layer, without having to make extra layers to hide the "threading" object. This will prevent having to cut up, or mask or duplicate objects.
Basically it's also allowing anchors of the same object to switch between layers.

wrong asset export folder android
Asset export for android , create sub-folder create folder 1x, 2x, 3x... which is for iOS . it should be drawable-xxxhdpi sub-folder following android guideline.
anyone doing QA ???2 votesAshutosh Chaturvedi
responded
Asset export has a feature to create folders on scale factors. The suffix that you are expecting as part of the foldername is not built. I am moving this as a feature request.
