Make the font selection panel less intrusive by making it editable and moveable
The font selection panel currently takes up a large portion of the center screen, making it difficult to see the font changes on a large scale. It would be nice if the panel could be editable and moveable, like other panels on Illustrator. Also, it could be positioned on the right side of the screen by default and made slightly transparent, to see through.

Direct Component Group
Is it possible to create a direct component group that performs certain functions, rather than relying on clickable line options? This way, there's no need to enter a group to select the required component.

Align to guides
Select multiple objects, click a guide then a small align box opens, select vertical align for example and it aligns all the objects to that guide line. Also the horizontal/vertical distribute centre doesn't work with logos, even shapes it does but if you select 4 random vector logos it doesn't space them evenly

Collision detection for Symbol Sets
The one feature desperately needed for symbols is to turn the symbol sprayer tool into a real particle system or, at least, add collision detection.

Hello Adobe -
I'm interested in becoming one of your Beta testers for this new tool I am hearing about regarding Adobe Max.
What's shown is a way to take a 2D drawings and converting it in Adobe Illustrator a turn around version from the 2D to 3D art.
Whom do I speak to to become one of your Beta testers. I work in the professional field of 2D and 3D and would like to give feedback on this tool. I work with Adobe Illustrator professionally in the industry. So whom do I contact moving forward?
Thanks,

Shortcut with Cmd to select a tool
Shortcuts with Cmd keys
Please please make it possible to use the Cmd key to make shortcut to select a tool. This is crucial for working quick and efficiently. I know about the V and the A for choosing Selection and Direct Selection Tool, but when you are working with text, you cannot use these. Then you have to go the long way up to the tools panel to choose these. This make you work really slow.
In Indesign it is easy to make this shortcut. In Photoshop and Illustrator it is prohibited. Please make this small adjustment to Illustrator to change the world!

Export selected artboards using "Exports for Screens" with editing capabilities preserved
Can you provide a checkbox in Adobe Illustrator that allows exporting the selected artboard from a file with multiple artboards, while preserving editing capabilities? This would ensure that fonts and images are not missing, and that the file size remains small due to only the selected artboard being included.
I work for a Hindi newspaper, and the fonts I use in the file are not available everywhere. As a result, the fonts get missing on certain systems if the file is exported as a PDF without 'Preserve Editing Capabilities' enabled, which affects the quality of the product. Additionally, if the file size is small, it will be easier to export, and Adobe Illustrator will function more efficiently.

The option to define visibility of layers and objects by artboard.
The option to define visibility of layers and objects by artboard.
This way, one could set multiple artboards of the same content with different sets of layers or objects visible in each.
I often have to hide/show some layers before export (for instance when I do the same complex artwork in multiple languages). Of course the default would be the current behavior.1 vote -

It could be a system that automatically creates design examples with the content we provide
It could be a system that automatically creates design examples with the content we provide. For example, you can think of it like in the Powerpoint application. Let's randomly add the content we have to a page and let it show us a few random design examples. It doesn't have to be perfect, it could just be at an idea level, maybe?

Golden Ratio Option in the Character Panel
I would like to suggest adding a Golden Ratio option to the Character Panel for selected typefaces. This feature could help users easily establish a clear visual hierarchy by automatically calculating proportional font sizes for headings, subheadings, and body text.
Such an addition would streamline the process of creating balanced and aesthetically pleasing typography, ensuring that readers can quickly and intuitively distinguish between various text levels.
Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would be a valuable tool for designers aiming to achieve professional and harmonious typographic layouts.

An ability to select objects only within the marquee, as in CorelDRAW
Is it possible to select items in a way similar to CorelDRAW, where only those within the selection box are selected, and those that touch the selection box but are not enclosed by it are not selected, even if they touch the box? I hope there can be an additional selection option for this.
0 votesRecent versions of Illustrator now offer the Enclosed mode we can toggle while using the selection marquee.
It was requested here originally, and is still quite raw, but can help in some cases. Please follow the comment thread there for more solutions.
