Password protect in layers
I am looking for an option in the Adobe Illustrator to have the layers locked with a password. so i can send the source file to the other users only to modify what they have to and not touch my content.

Magic Wand Tolerance should remember previous settings
Why does the Magic Wand tolerance settings reset whenever I open a new document? It makes much more sense to have the option to either set a default tolerance for the Magic Wand so it will always stay the same, or have illustrator remember the last settings used every time it is changed.

Isolation navigator
The feature I’m looking is an isolation-mode navigator tool that requires minimal clicking and is fast to use. You’d summon it while holding down a hot key, point the mouse at a group and then use hot keys (or the mouse wheel) to go into and out of the group structure.
Isolation mode, as it is now, is essential but clunky. I spend an awful lot of time clicking into, around and back out of isolation mode. It’s enough to cause RSI. The group select tool is useful but doesn't replace isolation mode.

TouchBar customization
Can you please make available the option to customize the MacBook Pro Touch Bar in Adobe Illustrator. The new MacBook Pro Touch Bar is very useful and handy. The shortcuts that I can use with the Touch Bar save me a lot of time.

Don’t force creating a dedicated layer for Swatch Info objects
When we create a Swatch Info object, a new layer named 'Swatch Info Layer' gets created automatically. I don’t need it. I want to be able to choose if I need this layer, and what name it should use. My layer structure is something I prefer to have control over, and the way Ai thinks I need to have a singular group this creates in a separate layer is insulting.
Same goes for Dimensions — why do you think I mustn’t choose the layer’s name?

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.

Add Transparency Preset Option on Script
Transparency Preset like [Medium Resolution] and [High Resolution] are able to be setted on Normal Illustrator Dialogue, but it is not able to setted on Scripting.
My company and job is hoping this feature added badly…
Thank you.

Allow to copy the area value from the Info panel
Why can we copy a HEX color from the Color panel, but can’t copy the area of it (or any other value as well)?
In some cases we need to get the value to share with someone, and now Ai wants us to retype it.
Sometimes we also need these to be placed on canvas — but I think it’s a job for the Dimension tool? Why Measure and Dimension are different tools in the first place?

Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#
Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#
Hello,i'm developting a small library to access PathObjects in Illustrator (works fine for CS2, CS5) - but i have massive performance problems with CC2019. I am using VS2017.
Code looks like:
Type AIType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(AIAppName);
dynamic illuApp = Activator.CreateInstance(AIType);if (illuApp == null)
{
return;
}if (illuApp.Documents.Count < 1)
{
return;
}System.Array lll = illuApp.ActiveDocument.selection;
if (lll != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < lll.Length; i++)
{
dynamic path = lll.GetValue(i);
if (path != null)
{
var lll2 = path.PathPoints;
Application.DoEvents();
int iSelCount = lll2.Count;

Export images with an option of including or excluding bleed
It would be great to have the feature in an Export window (in one of the two attached).
The only way to remove the bleed is to remove document bleed temporarily or remove it manually in Photoshop.
We remove bleed before we add the artwork to our catalogues.

Background Blur and Progressive Blur in Appearance
I'd like to see a blur option where objects behind an object appear blurred such as in the attachment. This is something that, I believe, can be achieved in CSS so it would be good to have the ability to use such an effect in Illustrator.

Spot Colors Change the name to JPG
It would be nice if you could change the spot color names in inserted images (JPG, PNG...) without going through Photoshop.

Option + Arrow to duplicate and move text
Please bring back the ability to duplicate and move text with the Option + Arrow keys. It was an incredibly handy feature. I used it all the time and it has been sorely missed.

Anchor points in Illustrator Draw (mobile app)
The Mobile Adobe Illustrator Draw needs more vector functionality. It'd be great if anchor points could be created and edited within the app.
I'd also like to see like to see the functionality of the pencil tool in Illustrator, how one can re-trace over the line to edit the path.
If this functionality was available, I could use a tablet to replace my wacom.

SVG export: Universally-unique class names for internal CSS or option for prefix token.
AI's auto-generated class names are only file-unique. Collisions occur if different exported svgs are inlined in the same container (html) document. This prevents a primary way of using SVGs on the web.
Suggest an option (or default behavior) where class names are universally unique, or where a file-name or user chosen token is prepended to classnames.

Make it easier to use the color in paint bucket. it defaults to greyscale and hard to find way out of that. it should just be intuitive.
JUST MAKE IT EASY TO USE
I just want to get things done quick. why will an image we import to vectorize automatically be greyscale? AND WHY DO YOU MAKE IT HARD TO FIND HOW TO GET COLOR IN THERE??????
old forum articles are obsolete, so why not just make it easier to use in the first place

Linking dxf/dwg
This might be very wishfull thinking...
I am an architect, and use CAD to make plan drawings, and illustrator to make them look good (adjusting lineweight, stroke, color and so on). But if i make an updated drawing in CAD, i have to do everything all over again in Illustrator. It would be awsome if illustrator was able to give a specific layer a specific lineweight/stroke/color etc... and was able to update this on its own!

Have the option to arc a shape or line to a specific degree.
Having the option to arc a line or shape to a specific degree would make so much easier. Especially when designing labels for containers that are tapered.

Fresco - Give freedom to remove all gestures from the app - let the apple pencil be the only option
This was meant for the wishlist for Fresco, but there was no option. But, my issue was that the palm of my hand activates the undo function in Fresco. I would like to turn this feature off since it's too sensitive for my hand. I thought at the same time it would be great for palm rejection to be able to turn off all gestures.
