Make the brush and pencil tools respond to color changes. Place a color selection box in Paintbrush Tool Options
I cannot change colors on Brush and Pencil tools. I researched many Q & A threads and none of the answers solved the problem. Fill new brush strokes does not work for the brush or pencil tools.

CC Library Items give wrong preview when dragged to artboard.
Objects dragged from a CC library as linked give sometimes a wrong preview.
Switching to CPU preview or dragging an embedded copy can solve it .

Please make center of circles to show up when I drag anything inside of them to snap to
Windows 10 PC, Illustrator CC:
I'm trying to connect lines to the centers of circles, since this program has a problem snapping to center points of circles, I need to highlight a circle and hold ctrl to get the center of the circle to show up. Many times I try this there is simply no center point showing which doesn't make any sense. Please have all circles center points appear once you are dragging inside the circle in the work area. It would be nice if they snapped to the center as well.
Thank you1 vote -

Global "Scale Strokes" Setting Affected by Scale Tool
When I check or uncheck the "scale strokes" option in the scale tool, this affects the global stroke-scaling setting. This isn't expected, nor desired.

Display Tablet : Wacom CINTIQ 22HD VS XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro REVIEW
Hello everyone, I'm an Illustrator user, I usually use the Adobe Illustrator, Evernote, Dropbox software and tasks. Mostly Illustrator on my display drawing tablet.
CINTIQ 22HD
I know there are a lot of people who are looking for Cintiq alternatives as Wacom's tablets are expensive. I had been wanting a Cintiq for years but never really thought they were worth all that money. However, after I had a chance of using Cintiq 22HD for a few days, I came to realize that drawing on a display tablet is far quicker and more enjoyable than doing it on non-display tablets.
SO, NOW I WANTED A DISPLAY TABLET TOO FOR TWO REASONS:1.Drawing on a display tablet was far more enjoyable than drawing with graphic tablets (like my Deco 01).
It felt like I was actually drawing on paper.2.The higher precision and accuracy = I noticed I wasn't using the "undo" on Cintiq 22HD as much = less hours spent per painting.
CINTIQ 22HD WAS GOOD BUT IS IT WORTH $1600?Although the drawing experience was really good (feels like Intuos but more precise!) on Cintiq 22HD, I still didn't think it was worth $1600. It's a 2012 model and the display was nothing spectacular considering the price. If the display was a higher quality and the tablet was slimmer, I would be dreaming of having one myself even at that price point. Anyways, I looked into cintiq alternatives and the closest thing seemed to be XP-Pen's newest model, Artist 22E Pro.
XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro
I ordered and had XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro display tablet for a day.
It's been only a day but I already have a love and hate relationship with it...
Here are the Pros and ConsPRO's:
1.More affordable than Cintiq 22HD (although it's still not that cheap $899 / $799 until May 31)
2.Screen temperature stays REALLY COOL (OMG I LOVE) vs Cintiq 22HD gets a little warm
3.IPS Panel (wide view angles) and anti-glare coating's really good. (Cintiq 22HD's is grainy)
4.Almost no lagging felt when drawing (14ms = same as Cintiq 22HD)
5.Slimmer and smaller than Cintiq but has 21.5 inch screen (same as Cintiq 22HD)
6.Parallax better than or similar to Cintiq 22HD
7.Pen accuracy, sensitivity on point (except for the area close to the edges)
8.Easy to use and install
9.Sharp, good colors
CON's: [UPDATE: I am told that these two issues are solved with recent XP-Pen drivers update]1.Display is not sharp (texts, image edges, lines are soft when they need to be sharp and clear)
2.Lower pressure sensitivity levels (1%-20%) I feel like are not that accurate. I needed to put a little more force for the nib to register anything and that results in e.g. 20% opacity when I wanted 10%.
3.Pen Batteries: You need to recharge pens. Not really a huge con for me because they give you two pens.
4.No tilt on pen: not a big deal for me. Just mentioning for information as some people do care about this function.Other notable info:
1.Color Gamut: standard (advertised as an "amazing" display). It covers 72%~78% sRGB. Just a standard. It's not really a con or a pro I guess.
2.No pen stand: their site says they give you a pen stand. I only found a pen case.
3.Adj. buttons on the display are stiff but you don't need to use them often once everything's set.
4.Something about the way the pen nib works: related to the con I mentioned; I just didn't like the way it felt. The nib's a little bulky and doesn't feel good
when doing detailed, light strokes. Depending on what kind of drawing you do, you may not even notice this.*I wrote no pen calibration in the image but the driver does have it I just missed it. However, that doesn't change my opinion on the lower pen pressure levels!
SO, MY CONCLUSION IS:
1.XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro display tablet is a pretty good alternative to a Cintiq with some better aspects (thin bezels, better parallax, 21.5 inch screen etc.)
2.BUT! There are two major issues that made me return it. The pressure sensitivity was not up to my expectations. Maybe I am just used to Wacom pens but I felt like it's a little awkward when I needed precise strokes for details. Secondly, the display is not sharp (it's too blurry. It could be because of the anti-glare coating).Therefore this is a great display tablet for:
-people who have never experienced higher end Wacom tablets
-hobbyists artists
-people who have not had good quality IPS monitors
-people looking for a Cintiq-like display without breaking their bankWouldn't recommend it to:
-people who have used Wacom tablets (Intuos and above) and are used to them
-professional users / serious artists*Note: if you intend to use two tablets from two different brands (e.g. Wacom Intuos and a XP-Pen display tablet) on one PC, keep in mind that there can be only ONE installed driver. You need to uninstall Wacom driver if you are using the XP-Pen tablet and vice versa.

Smart Guides HUD says 'Interect', when snapping to the Center of the Artboard
Since the introduction of Smart Guides, the info given when snapping to the center of the Artboard is incorrect. It says 'Intersect' in stead of 'Center'. This is confusing. We want to know if it is the Center we're snapping to.

Blend objects aligned to path and keep bounding boxes at ends straight so they don't distort. Have to make many long paths of wire shapes and to keep them aligned on the path the first and last keep distorting so I can't edit or reuse for a slightly different curve.

Allow Save Options to be Skipped
Personally, I'd like to skip the extra dialog after I name my file and click the Save button.
If I actually want to alter any of the settings, I'd prefer to do it by actively clicking an [Format] Options button in the Save dialog (opening a new dialog) rather than after already naming the file and clicking the Save button.
Sometimes performance is slow enough that it takes some time for the next dialog to even show, which breaks my workflow as I move on to other tasks in other apps, thinking my file is safely saved already (I did name it and click the Save button after all).
From a UX perspective, once the Save button is clicked/tapped, the file should immediately be written to disk, because that's the intent behind the user activating that button.

Correctly include vector objects from previous Illustrator version files
A customer file created in CC 15 MAC and (according to tech support) using a CS/3 template does not open properly in CC 18. a group of objects appear as a missing linked file rather that the actual objects. However CS/5 opens the file and placed the vector objects inside a clip mask properly, allowing access to the vector path information. Why would CC18 not have the same capability? Worse, why would it confuse the issue stating a linked file is missing? The vector info is obviously in the file (since it appears in CS/3 and CS/5, get that info into CC18.
I'm sure this is going to be a recurring problem with customers sending older files to me.
Get CC18 to maximize the object info it extracts from older files.

Corel, passed the illustrator
You are not developing Illustrator. You are updating, there are many unnecessary features. Corel made many innovations.
And more stable.

CINEWARE AS A NATIVE TOOL
You should add the Cineware plug-in into Illustrator's architecture as a native tool, such as After Effects and its Cineware.

Add a CLOSE ALL menu command
Adding a CLOSE ALL menu command, to mirror the one in Photoshop, would be very useful - complete with the "apply to all" check box which Photoshop offers. That way, I can easily close and save 5/10/15/20 open documents with two clicks.
