Locked objects should not highlight at all when drag selecting over them
That’s the whole reason I lock them, so they’re not in the way and are ignored during complex selections. Highlighting them when mousing over? It goes against the very design principle of locking. So annoying to see these fundamental usability regressions at every turn with .ai lately.

NEW PERSPECTIVE TOOL
Make perspective tool with curves like cylinder so that designers can easily drag drop their design to bend them easily . Sorry if Iam wrong.
2 votesSabarirajan, please elaborate on this.
Can you draw a mockup? Even a crude one can help to understand the exact idea you have.
Recent versions of Illustrator have new 3D and Materials tools, which allow to create bent cylinders and other shapes. Please comment back.

Brush tool stops working
When drawing a complex shape with the brush tool it just stops working after a certain amount of time. I'm not sure if it is because it has used too many points to make the shape or what, but its very frustrating. FIX YOUR PROGRAM PLEASE.
2 votesAnthony, if this is still a problem for you, please provide a test file (here in comments or via sharewithai@adobe.com) and some details on this:
– does the behavior, once is happens, affect only one document or others as well?
– does it stay when you save, relaunch the app and reopen the file?
– does deleting some portion of the art fix the problem?

Save for Web
The new and NOT IMPROVED Illustrator does not allow me to save gifs and jpegs for the web. I used this feature all time since I design web banners - and now it's gone! Thanks for nothing, Adobe!
2 votesHi,
This option is available under File > Export > Save For Web (Legacy). If you still don’t find the option or any other issue please let us know.
Thanks & Regards

Asset/Object export needs more options
I wanted to export multiple assets/objects with their artboard position and quickly realized they will get cropped and there isn't an option to change that.
The possible naming is also quite limited. Every professional program should have wildcards for naming files.
It boils down to missing batch features. I found a developer who gave it a try once (TomByrne IllustratorSmartExport). That's everything the batch export could and should be and it should be an official inspiration for how the export in Illustrator should look/feel like. Unfortunately it's not longer under development and the core functionality is broken. Still it's a…1 vote -
Migrate Pattern fill to iPad
It would be great to have that computer feature as well on that device as not a lot of people do not have Ai on all of their devices

Preserve Text Formatting when using Paste
I would like to suggest adding an option to preserve text formatting when pasting content.
I’m aware of the Place Text feature, but it doesn’t fully meet the need of retaining the original formatting from copied text.This functionality would be especially helpful for my work, as I frequently design leaflets that include both English and Arabic text. Having a paste option that maintains formatting would save time and ensure greater consistency in my projects.
I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this feature. Thank you for the excellent work you do in developing Illustrator.

Improving Processing Performance for Large ESP Format Images
I am a scientific researcher who frequently uses this software to process images in ESP format. Overall, the software performs very well, but it becomes noticeably sluggish when handling scatter plots with a large number of data points, such as EPR spectra and fluorescence lifetime plots. Based on my experience, this may be due to limited compatibility in processing such datasets, as my Mac computer has 32 GB of RAM, which should be sufficient. I hope this issue can be addressed and optimized soon. Thank you very much!
1 votePlease share some of your files with the team to investigate them. Add them in comments if you are OK with sharing them publicly, or send directly to sharewithai@adobe.com (in this case add the link to the request for fast tracking, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50309937).
Thank you!

Path Eraser tool option to keep the path closed
Maybe while holding Opt/Alt, could be a good way to do it.
I often use the Pencil tool, especially Smooth option while holding Opt/Alt, to clean points when there are too many of them and it works well on curves but not on straight lines (they become wavy).
Sometimes I use the Path Eraser tool, but as its name tells it, it erases the path and then I have to select points and Ctrl+J to join. I just want an option to give us the choice to keep the path closed or not. It would require many less steps to…1 vote -
アウトライン未完了アラートの実装化
印刷工程時において、入稿用のデータにアウトラインがかかっていないことで印刷事故や再入稿が頻発しています。これはオペレーターの作業ミスによるものですが、データの保存時に「アウトライン未完了のアラート」があればかなり減らせます。世界中の印刷工程で起こっている問題ですので是非早急に実装してください。

Searchbar for layers or simple filters
The same idea what we can find in PS. Possibility to show just a specific layers depends type of the filter. For example showing just a lock layers will be nice or show layers with specific fill color. If I've got a huge amount of layers in the project, event if I try to naming them I spend too much time for looking for locked layer or some specific one.

Pen tool work flow
I use several Adobe products and the Pen tool’s work flow in Illustrator is terrible. A lot of functionality is separated into several different tools that could all be wrapped together into one beautiful tool. The Pen tool’s work flow within Photoshop works so much better! (Make a line, Add or subtract anchor points, Add or break curves, move an anchor point, move a line, rotate a selection of anchor points.) You can do all of this with the Photoshop version of the pen tool as one tools work flow. Within Illustrator you have to switch between a different tool…

일러스트에서, 가장 최신버전에서, 세로방향쓰기 할 때, 한글과 영문 둘다 왼쪽에서 오른쪽 방향으로 쓰이게 되었으면 좋겠습니다.인디자인 관리자실행안하고 실행하게되면 일부도구툴과 위에 윈도우 창들의 기능들이 일부 활성화가 안되는 현상이 발생합니다.

Fix the problem to allow me to create a new canvas and use the app.
I can’t create a new file since I subscribed, it is absolutely wasting my trial… very bad experience.

A feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts
A feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts for specific tools and commands, giving more flexibility for personalized workflow.
Customizable keyboard shortcuts would enhance productivity by allowing users to streamline their workflow and reduce time spent navigating menus. This would be especially beneficial for users who rely on specific tools frequently.
Adding a simple interface to assign or modify keyboard shortcuts, and offering a "Save as Default" option, would provide users with more control over their experience, making the tool even more efficient for professional and personal use.
1 voteIllustrator already allows users to customize hotkeys with Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. There are many restrictions users have with it, but perhaps you meant something specific. Please elaborate.
