Turn any object into an eraser head.
You can quickly delete everything inside/outside an object. Right click could make it rotate while moving. Make the option to leave a fill underneath and create a new object. I think it is time to move on from just a circle. Maybe this could belong to the shaper tool.

[3D & マテリアル]でも押し出しのべベルの方向を外側にできるようにしてほしい。
新しい3D機能[3D & マテリアル]でも押し出しのべベルの方向を外側にできるようにしてほしい。「3D(クラシック)」のべベルには内側か外側か選べるオプションが有りました。同じオプションを新しい「3Dとマテリアル」にも付けていただきたい。このオプションがないと、文字オブジェクトから金属活字のような物体を作成できません。（内側にしかできないので細くなってしまう）実にもったいない。

Layers panel dimensions dynamically resize, or have tools cling to bottom of layers list
When I open a layer, the layer list is quite long so I need a tall panel. However when they're collapsed it's a much shorter list and suddenly the trashcan button is super far away from where I'm working in the layers. It would be nice if the panel automatically resized to keep the toolbar near the list, or otherwise have the toolbar cling to the bottom of the layers list so it's easily accessible when working in that panel. The dynamic resizing would also be helpful when you have the panel sized to be shorter, and open a layer, so that they panel expands to accomodate the newly shown layers, or at least more of the list.

Allow to choose delimiter in Variables
Hi, I need to have the ability to upload a tab separated csv file in the variable window. In Mexico we use commas instead of dots to separate the thousands, that generates a bad reading of the data set. Thanks

Convert fractions to decimals within the program, not just the new file dialogue box: 116-7/8" to 116.875 in.
We work with various large format sizes given with fractions, but the programs run off decimals. The New file dialogue box will convert them, so why can't this be added to the number fields for artboard and object sizes? Similar to how we can use the "/" to divide by a number when working at 1/4 scale or 1/2 scale.

Adapt Dark Title bar in dark mode in Illustrator for Windows
The existing title bar is white, enabling dark title bar will help us get a more unified UI.
The Technology Path
Since Windows 10 1809, Microsoft has provided an API for modifying only the color of the window title bar.
The method reference is
stackoverflow.com/questions/39261826/change-the-color-of-the-title-bar-caption-of-a-win32-applicatio...Documentation see
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwmapi/ne-dwmapi-dwmwindowattribute 3At the same time, this API does not affect compatibility with older versions, and on Windows 7 or earlier versions of Windows, the API will not work and will not cause strange errors.

Illustrator is always disconnected from Creative Cloud
Illustrator refuses to load my fonts and color library. It doesn't sync with the creative cloud until much later if at all. I'm a design intern and it's extremely important I use our specific font and colors so not being able to access this really sets me back on my projects.

Rename Anchor Points
Say you want to apply the 3D (Classic) Rotate effect to a complex illustration but you have a rogue anchor point that causes this message: An unknown error occurred. Click MORE INFO and try some of the solutions to fix the issues.
It has taken me many hours to figure out that a single anchor point (that is neither part of a shape or a path) is the most-likely cause of this error message. I work very clean, but rogue anchor points happen occasionally and it's incredibly frustrating to find.
The solution is to search through all your objects and find the single point. The issue is when you view all your objects in the Layers panel, a complete path (that does not cause issues) and an incomplete anchor point (that does cause issues) are both named <Path>.
I propose that single anchor points get renamed in the Layers panel as <Anchor> and not <Path> so that the error can stand out to someone searching for a rogue anchor point in 1000+ individual objects.

Add option to change stroke/font units faster
For my workflow I constantly need to change the unit of strokes between points and inches. It would be nice to add a way to change them in 1 click rather than going Edit > Preferences > Units every single time. Not a huge change but would be quite convenient and probably fairly easy to implement. We can currently set the unit of the whole document in a window, but not things like stroke/font. Could just add the option to the existing stroke window like the attached picture.

Adobe illustrator is running slow for no reason
I have been using adobe illustrator for more than a year on my vurrent laptop and i never had problems (acer nitro 517-52 GTX1650Ti I5). I have updated my graphic drivers and illustrator too. I know i am using more and more fonts over the time. But since adobe illustrator crashed yesterday i doesnt stop lagging. When i am constantly zomming in and out with alt and middle mouse button its crashes in less than 5 sc and crash after placing down 5 rectangles in like 30 sc. My document size is 2000 by 2000 mm and i also tried 500 by 500 mm and same thing. It is really bothering me since i cannot finish my work. I also tried forcing it using my gpu and same thing over and over again.

Apply arrowheads with eyedropper
When using the eyedropper tool on a line, I would like the arrowheads from the line I am imitating to be applied to the selected line. I don't want to scroll through all the arrowhead options for every line! If I apply it once, It'd be so much easier to eyedrop that same feature on all the other lines I need it for.
This is something I would use for my job while making tech packs every day! I have arrowheads on the ends of dimensions and callouts.

Linking issue, always linked together after copying
Illustrator : After copying artboards, it's still linked to the previous one, meaning whatever I do to the 2nd one, the 1st one effects too.
After Effects : After copying the composition, it's still ..... (the same thing happens).So I'd suggest if we have the option to link or not to (which means choose to be the same as the previous one we copied or not).
Because I am beating around the bush, just to adjust the current one that I've copied.Thank you so much! Vielen Dank! Xie xie!

Speed up Redraw with All Thumbnail Options on One Button
Switching off thumbnails for improved draw speed means switching various options and locations to get the layer, object and transparency thumbs all switched off. Working many customer files per day this is a drag.
Please put them all on one "thumbs" radio button with options for all-on, all-off, or custom preference, so I can get my work done faster.
Make this an application preference rather than document preference to save me even more time.
