1. Alt+click on Expand button in Pathfinder palette to release compound shape

   I have to release compound shapes quite often. Each time I have to use palette menu, which means two precise clicks.
   Why not to change 'Expand' button to 'Release' when Alt is pressed, to revert it's function and let users quickly deconstruct shapes?
   It's one of JDI things.

2. Turn a layer highlight into an object selection

   It's often simpler to highlight entries in the layers panel than it is to select the objects on the artboard.

   e.g. you could just click the first and shift-click the last in order to hightlight many consecutive layers.

   It would be really efficient if those highlighted objects could then be turned into a selection on the artboard (for transforming the elements or whatnot).

3. Star live shape, with on-canvas controls, better tool

   Better Star tool, with side widgets to change the number of points, the rays’ length, etc.
   Possibility to re-edit anytime the number of points in a star.
   Also, the possibility to adjust the thickness of the star "arms".
   (like Freehand was doing long time ago...)

   Completed (Comments Open)  ·  AdminSaurav Agrawal (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Star is now a live shape and available in the all the public builds starting from V 28.3.0.

   You can now customise your star in any way you like; may it be changing the no of sides, corner angles, or even the corner radius. 

   Please try it out and let us know what y'all think !

4. "Divide objects below" with a group

   "Divide objects below" (what I call "cookie cutting") with multiple objects that are from a group, all at once . If I want to cut a pattern (let's say, giraffe spots) out of a shape located below, I should be able to divide the object without having to do it for each individual spot. If the spots are already grouped together to form a pattern, that pattern should be able to divide all at once.

6. QuickLook Preview Support for EPS Files on macOS via Adobe own framework

   As of macOS 15 (Sequoia), Apple has officially removed all system-level support for rendering Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files in QuickLook. This change began in macOS 12 (Monterey), when Apple deprecated the internal PostScript conversion frameworks (notably PSNormalizer.framework), and culminated in macOS 14 (Sonoma) and 15 (Sequoia), where these frameworks were entirely removed.

   Historically, Finder’s QuickLook preview for .eps files relied on these system frameworks to convert PostScript content into a previewable image. Many third-party applications (including Illustrator) used the same system calls to provide file previews. Even QuickLook plugins like Illustrator.qlgenerator or others that claimed .eps support were not rendering the content themselves—they merely invoked Apple’s system renderers under the hood.

   Now, all such plugins are broken:
   • .qlgenerator-style plugins are no longer supported or loaded at all in macOS Sequoia.
   • System EPS rendering components (pstopdf, cgps, PSNormalizer.framework) are removed.
   • Even if an EPS file contains an embedded preview (e.g. a TIFF or low-res PDF), macOS does not expose this to QuickLook.
   • Applications like Illustrator or Affinity can still open EPS files, but no longer expose any preview capability in Finder.

   Some unofficial third-party utilities have begun to implement their own QuickLook Preview Extensions (using the modern App Extension architecture), embedding their own PostScript interpreters (such as Ghostscript). While this restores basic EPS preview functionality, these solutions may rely on reverse-engineered methods or contain licensing gray areas due to the proprietary nature of PostScript.

   This leaves professionals—designers, publishers, illustrators—without a reliable, secure, and officially supported method to preview legacy assets in EPS format, which are still common in stock vector libraries, archival graphics, and prepress workflows.

   ⸻

   We propose the following feature request:
   Please consider developing an official Apple QuickLook Preview Extension for .eps files, bundled either with Adobe Illustrator or the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app.

   Such an extension would:
   • Support QuickLook previews in Finder and column view (via QuickLookPreviewingExtension)
   • Use Adobe’s own EPS rendering engine internally
   • Require no user interaction or app launch — just press spacebar on an .eps file
   • Work on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
   • Respect the EPS file’s embedded previews when available
   • Safely handle untrusted EPS content in a sandboxed, non-executable rendering context

   This would solve a real and growing pain point in modern macOS workflows. Currently, users are forced to open files manually in Illustrator or rely on potentially unsafe tools—hardly an ideal user experience in professional environments.

   We believe Adobe, as the originator of the EPS format and the leader in professional design software, is best positioned to provide a secure, performant, and standards-compliant solution.

7. Hint all Preferences options, even without (i) icon

   Some options in Preferences are mystery for new users, but the team believe only some (just 3!) should have a dedicated (i) icon to display a hover hint.

   No.

   ALL options should have a hover hint.

   How on Earth a user can guess what 'Show/Hide Rulers' does? It feels like it is the same as View > Rulers > Show / Hide Rulers, but no, it’s not! You have to search for it! (just rename this one already)

   Or what about enigmatic 'Enable Content Aware Defaults'? What are these? OK, pros know, Puppet Warp, Lorem Ipsum, Freeform Gradient control points. But why doesn’t Ai tell this contextually, right here and now?

   'Use Precise Cursors' — what is that? What, they are usually imprecise? No, it''s just crosshair (and it can be toggle with Caps Lock) — how about telling this?

8. Find color in artwork button in Recolor Artwork advanced dialog is useless when the object is too small

   There is a button in Recolor Artwork dialog to fade all other colors but a clicked one, the rightmost button with a magnifier below the Current Colors list.
   This fade does little help when the object with the chosen color is too small on the canvas, like in a complex illustration.
   Zooming to these can be a solution, but it won't help if there are many of these specs with the color, so perhaps these objects should be highlighted with a flash of edges or in some other dynamic way to help to locate them.

9. Add Expand command for Intertwine objects

   Unlike other special objects, like Live Paint-s, Envelopes, Blends, etc., Intertwine objects don’t have their own Expand command. It’s not very consistent.

   We need this command to appear in the menu, the context menu, Properties, Control.

   Repeats don’t have this one too, which is also strange: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/41138800-repeat-expand-appearance

   We have to use the general Object > Expand: Object for this — but is has a dialog, which is not always nice.
   A specific Expand allows to choose the order of operations for a complex objects. Take blends, for example — if you apply 'expands' in a wrong order, you risk to expand the content first, and get a wrong blend between already expanded objects.

   Yes, there is another unintended workaround, — apply any effect and get it expanded on its own (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45845533), but this is not how it should work!

10. Collapse panels menu item/keyboard shortcut

    The ability to set a keyboard shortcut to collapse all panels would be really helpful and slick. I find myself leaving them open for expedience only to find the open panel is in the way, visually, later on. For those who set up their workspace differently they can just ignore it or disable the keyboard shortcut.

11. Cursor and path feedback for Scissors

    We have to guess if we cut a path at all and if we hit the right path.
    No highlight (OK, using Smart Guides helps, but Smart Guides does nothing if you also have Snap to Grid enabled!), no cursor change.

12. Display Measurement Labels when Snap to Grid is on

    We can enable Measurement Labels in Preferences > Smart guides, to display a drawn line’s length, or width/height for shapes, or distance for moved objects.

    Cool.
    But once you enable Snap to Grid, labels stop being displayed.
    I get it, Smart Guides stop work in terms of snapping and actual guides rendering, but why ditch labels? We still draw and move, and it’s maybe even more important with snapping on!

13. Put Tool Options in a Panel

    Put all Tool Options into a panel instead of a modal dialog. Stop interrupting workflow to get settings that could easily be encapsulated into a panel.

    Also, quit with the 50 different ways of asking the same thing. The blob tool, warp tool, any brush tool all use different ways of getting at the same setting:

    Brush Size, Brush Shape, Brush Angle, Brush Roundness, Intensity Pick the best one and stick with it in all the tool settings.

14. export for screens, select: none

    When I 'Export for Screens' and have loads of artboards I can select 'All' as a checkbox.
    It would be good to be able to select none - instead of clicking the dozen or more select boxes to un-select artboards.
    This would save heaps of time - its annoying not to have it.

15. Rotate artboard with all objects, when the orientation of artboard changes or directly on canvas

    It's possible to rotate the artboard, but the objects are still on their old positions.
    I found the is a button to bind artboard and objects for MOVING the artboard together. Why does that not work for rotation?

    In the mean time I have written a small JavaScript to solve this: https://www.behance.net/gallery/125369255/Javascript-for-Illustrator-RotateArtboard

    I hope, we can use a rotation of an artboard with it's objects soon in AI.

16. Pan tool wrap

    When you pan with the mouse button/wheel held down, the panning stops when the cursor reaches the monitor edges. This forces user to release mouse, move it all the way back and re-grab it.
    In some other editors you can continue to move the pointer and it will 'wrap' around your monitor, going from the opposite side of it, until released.

    Basically you can pan until you reach the end of your table.

    This mode will help those who have to work at scale and pan without unzooming. Please, add it!

17. Make Keyboard Shortcuts and Action panel both see shared conflicts

    You can assign F-keys to panels in Keyboard Shortcuts.
    You can assign F-keys to actions in Actions.
    But they know nothing about each other.

    When you try assign a combination that is already taken by another command, Keyboard Shortcuts window will warn you and give ways to solve the conflict... but not if the F-key-combination is taken by an action — it knows nothing about actions.

    Same with Actions panel — it knows nothing about Keyboard Shortcuts and never warns you, if you try to set, say, Shift+F8, which will disable native Transform panel call.

    Please let these two work in the same database and know about each other and warn users.

18. Tie a child shape to parent shape to keep it aligned to parent when resized

    Hi everyone,

    I posted this as a question in the Illustrator forum (here's the original thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/set-shapes-as-child-and-parent-objects-for-dynamic-box-designs/m-p/11688904?page=1#M256580) and was suggested to submit this as a feature request here.

    I design boxes in Illustrator for precise cutting in my Silhouette machine. The main problem I encounter with is when I make a box which its shapes are all perfectly aligned, but I then find that I need to tweak its interior size. When I'm doing so I have to re-align all the different pieces of the box shapes such as the spines, wings, etc, since there's no option to tie a shape to another shape as parent and child behavior which exists in 3d design programs.

    As a workaround I'm currently making groups of the shapes I want to be keep intact, and after tweaking the interior shape size I then re-align these groups to the edges of the interior they were previously aligned to.

    To describe it better I made 3 screenshots:

    • The first is the original design of the box.
    • The second is what happens when I resize the interior size of the front of the box, which makes it to overlap its child shapes.
    • The third is what I'm after - when resizing a parent shape I want all child shapes to move in distance along with it, without changing their sizes. As for the child shapes that become shorter and need to be resizes to fit to the parent's new size, that is done manually. Keep in mind that a child shape is also a parent shape of another child shape as seen in the screenshots. So if a child shape is resized then its own child shapes should also move in distance along with it.

    The arrows in the screenshots comes to describe what is a child object and what is a parent object. The base of each arrow is a child object and where it ends is its parent object.

    Having an option to make child and parent behavior would make things much easier when tweaking a design. Or, having a built-in engine to make box designs that has more features specifically for box design would be even better. That engine could automatically adjust the child shapes height/width where a parent shape size is changed. Or even a material thickness preset that calculates the extra size of material needed in mm/cm for the bending of each flap of the box, which is added between the shapes automatically like a "safe zone".

    There are external solution plugins for Illustrator like Esko, but I'd really like if Illustrator would have a built-in feature for box designs without paying for additional plugins. I'm still using my CS6 version since its a permanent license which I prefer better over subscription plans, and I am quite aware that if my feature is picked up for development then it would be implemented in the CC version and not CS6. Yet if that feature will be made then I'll re-consider the CC plans.

    Thanks!

19. Allow docked tool panels to stack one under another

    For now a docked tool panel takes the whole column, not matter how short it is. It forces us to clump all custom tools in one panel. Normal panels can stack any way possible.
    Please, give us the possibility to dock tool panels in rows too.

    Also look related request about separators in tool panels:

20. Curve length, area, perimeter measurements for Dimension tool

    We need a way to measure the length of a line regardless of shape, but at minimum we need a way to measure a basic curved line. It would be especially helpful if we could use the measure tool or some time-saving variant to tell if a curve has the desired length. While we can do a workaround now using the Document Info panel, having to isolate lines in order to do so can get really cumbersome and tedious.
