1. Allow to locally customize the assets from CC library within a document, similar to components in Figma

   I'm working for a company who makes workwear and we're having an issue with the creative cloud library.

   We've made al of these symbols in the creative cloud libraries, but we've seen that we can't manipulate these in 1 document.

   For example, we're making a coat.
   First we take the front out of the library, then the sleeves and a pocket.
   We see that it is impossible to change these objects in this new document.
   These drawings from the library are added in the document like pictures, that's why we can't colour them for example.
   We obviously don't want to change the symbol in the library, because that would change all the files where it is in.

   Maybe it's interesting to add an option like this in Illustrator, there would be much more possibilities in the future.

2. .obj asset file multiple group/layer hierarchy

   It’s very cool that you can export 3d models as obj - when I try to import the obj file Into blender, the group objects become scattered and lose there positioning that I have created - please make it so that when I import the file all of the objects are together / grouped as I intended and not scattered - great job on the new update 👍🏻

3. Have Untitled Illustrator document be reset to number 1

   Dear Sir or Madam:

   I don't like the way Adobe Illustrator keeps incrementing an Untitled document numbering each time you create a new file. I would rather have Adobe Illustrator Untitled document be set to Untitled-1 document each time I create a new Adobe Illustrator file. Please consider this feature. Thank you very much for your time.

4. Pulling content (text, etc) from a database into a layered template

   Ideally, it would be advantageous to manage a database of content (like SQL) that could then be linked to content in Illustrator files. In that way, changes to the database such as address could then automatically change in the associated Illustrator files. I don't know if this is something already developed and if so, I'd love to hear more about it. I've heard about the Datamerge function, but I don't quite know all of its capabilities. I'd appreciate any comments on whether that is a viable solution. Thank you.

5. Better grid settings

   Inkscape 1.1 has great grid management.
   It's embedded with the document: because grid needs vary a lot from a document from another
   It's accessible on the lateral panel, while on AI you need to enter the general settings; all while snapping is in the view menu (go figure...)
   There a two types of grid.
   You can set several grids.
   On this lateral panel, and for each grid, you can easily define there enable , visible and snapping status. (no menu spelunking)
   You can set the grid origin with coordinates or by alignment to the page (on AI if you modify the canvas size, you take the risk of losing the rest of the work's alignment to the grid)

   What would be great:
   Have a Grid window (the same way there is an Artboard window) that can be placed in the lateral panel or control bar) to easily and rapidly manage grids and there behavior (visibility, snapping, etc.). Also, have grid settings embedded with each file.

6. Allow more than 100 artboards

   Artboard limits should be a "soft cap" of 100 or more dependent on the user's PC specs. The user should then be able to, at their own risk of performance, increase the cap of artboards to whatever number they feel is necessary, whether or not that is unlimited is up to the user. There was a suggestion to remove this cap over 5 years ago, I believe it is time to make the change.
   I need currently 120 and it's really AWKWARD to create a new file and put resources there. I 100% need all my images in one file with multiple artboards!

7. Actual Status Bar instead of Spinning Beach Ball

   When working with larger images or complex art I can imagine that Illustrator or macOS need caching or need to write temp files somewhere.

   I work in the sign business so we work with very large images frequently, for car wraps or large wall art for instance.

   Often the infamous Spinning Beach Ball appears when moving or copying fairly large images. This can take several minutes.

   It would be nice to have an actual status bar instead of the Spinng Beach Ball so that we can see what Illustrator is actually doing and how long it would take to finish its tasks.

   In the enclosed screen recording the cursor is a Spinning Beach Ball — this doesn't show however and I don't know how to record it.

   The length of this screen recording (about a minute) is representative of how long this process takes; often it takes longer to waait until it is finished.

   There's no clue of what Illustrator actually is doing. I just have to wait until it is ready so I can continue working, until the Spinnng Beach Ball starts again.

   As a sidenote, we don't see the spinning macOS beach ball when doing some light work. Mostly, it happens when working with large images — I understand that Illustrator is not a dedicated image editor.

8. dropbox syncing

   When I open/save through the native Illustrator dialogue boxes, files that I have in my dropbox folders begin to download for no reason. I use SmartSync to keep my HD space optimized and this little glitch makes that impossible.

9. Preferences did not copy from previous Ai version to Ai 2025

   The recent Illustrator update did not copy all the our previous settings & preferences. So we need to manually do it again. Previous versions doesn't have this issue? The only reason why we update is because our clients are using the latest Ai, but after update, preferences need to MANUALLY RE-DO! Why it keeps on happening! We are a 24/7 company. My goodness! Adobe!

10. File Save Options - Recovery data location

    I'm running the latest version of Illustrator (26.2.1 as I'm writing this) but my data recovery preferences are somehow stuck at the location for Illustrator 20 and the application warns me every time that it can't save recovery data for the current document. I can change this, I know, but that still just keeps it then stuck at the location for version 26, and will presumably break again when version 27 is released.
    What I need is some way to restore the default behaviour which would (presumably) automatically update to the correct relative location for the current application version.

11. Remove restrictions to useable keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + Key for non-tools)

    It would be great if the restrictions put in place for keyboard shortcuts regarding non-tools could be changed to include single key shortcuts (like tools). There is no valid reason that any of the File/ Edit/ Object/ Type/ Select/ Effect/ View/ Window shortcuts require using the Ctrl key. Indesign does this already just like many non-Adobe programs. It's time to change this.

13. Reverse Track a Linked Image

    I would be like to be able to find an image (jpg/png) in my files, and see what documents it is linked to in InDD and AI.

    I do a LOT of image linking, and it would help me (perhaps in Bridge? don't know what's best) to be able to open an image file, and see what documents I have linked it to.

    It would help me track how many times I've used something already, who (of my clients) have already seen it, and often I can remember the image, but not what I've used it for.

14. Feature Request: Preference for Copy and Duplicate Layers without auto renaming and adding "copy" to them

    Hi Adobe 🙂

    I make large Illustrator files that have lots of layers, and often I find myself copying a layer that has a ton of sublayers. I spend way too much time renaming the copied layers removing the word "copy" or "copy 3" etc from the sublayer names.

    I have found some workarounds, if this helps anyone. If I want to copy a layer called **, I will copy it, then rename it XXXz then paste and the new pasted layer is ** without the name copy, then I can go back and remove the z from the name of the source layer.

    But often, I just want to option drag a complicated layer or a number of elements into another layer and have the names not change.

    Can we make a preference for not renaming duplicated or copied files? It would save me a ton of time and effort, and it seems like it wouldnt be a big deal to add a feature like that - it's not really complicated, but of course it takes time and resources away from other things perhaps?

    Still if it's an easy fix PLEASE consider it? It would save me many hours of time over a month.

19. Add option to Import DXF tool

    Hello,
    I have some request about the Import DXF feature.
    When opening a dxf file, the window ask if we want to scale the file to the artwork, but not the opposite.
    When opening a file at scale 1:1, it could be valuable to set the size of the artboard to the limits of the dxf file, as you have to do manually (most often) after you open it.
    It could also be cool to have a window showing the list of layers in the file and give the option to make a selection of those you want to import or not

20. Change shortcut for paste in place/paste on all artboards to match Indesign

    I'm in a workflow where I work simultaneously with Illustrator and Indesign, linking illustrator files to indesign (they could probably be integrated more!).

    However, it is probably my most irritated moments when I realize I have used cmd-alt-shift-V (shortcut to paste in place in Indesign) instead of cmd-shift-V. If you work on one artboard, it looks the same, and you don't realize your mistake until you go to another artboard and see that the pasted thing has been pasted on all artboards. And you've worked far enough to not having the possibility to undo...

    You can customize your hotkeys in Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. Search 'paste' and change 'Paste on All Artboards' to anything else or remove shortcut completely.
