1. Add option when creating New View to opt out from changing zoom level

   The custom Views is a godsend for complex artwork, but sometimes it would be nice to keep the zoom level and toggle only the Layers settings (visibility, lock status, etc). So either an option when saving the custom View, or a program-wide preference setting would be highly appreciated. In this way, the request for a layer visibility toggle shortcut could also be partially addressed.

2. Make 'Recent fonts' section in Character palette work alongside with selecting current font in font list

   Recently AI made focus in font list in Character palette jump to the top of the list, in 'Recent fonts' part, thus making impossible to browse fonts in alphabetical order — you have to scroll font list manually to position.

   This is stupid.

   In 22.1.0 this request has been realized:
   https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32044567-option-to-disable-recent-fonts-feature

   Now user can set '0' in Preferences to completely eliminate 'Recent' section in font list — and this magically 'fixes' selection of current font in context.

   This is stupid.

   I personally want to use BOTH 'Recent fonts' AND current font focusing.
   I don't care about it won't be selected in Recent: just show me chosen number of recent font options above the line (without selection), make it fixed (or make it go away right after I start scrolling) and select current font in the main list.

   Just like CorelDraw does (see image attached).
   Don' t do as Microsoft Word does (it does it wrong too).

   The current workaround for completely eliminating 'Recent' section in font list is to set '0' in Preferences > Type: Number of Recent Fonts.

   But since it’s stupid, please add votes to make it work properly.

3. Adding Pages/Sheets like in Excel for better organization of large jobs

   Adding Pages/Sheets like in Excel for better organization of large jobs. I work at a sign company and frequently come across large jobs that I would like to keep organized.

   For example let's use a job I am on right now. It is a job for hospital signage. Over 500 signs in total and let's say 15 departments. Some departments have upto 20 signs. While artboards work well in this instance it would be nice if I could have the option to organize the departments with "sheets" instead of individual files. My reasoning behind this is when I have to make global changes, (let's use color for example) it would be easier to have the option to select color on all sheets and change it to a new color.

4. Resize linked images to 100%, or adjust image’s scale / resolution

   Right click on an imported or linked image (Like a picture you just took with your phone or any other image) and have an option "Resize to Original Size" or "Resize to 100%." Similar to Apple's Keynote application for imported images when you click the button "Original Size."

   Sean, the new Beta release have an option to Intertwine objects, giving you a way to make knots like this. It won’t work exactly the way you described, especially for multiple strokes, but it’s going there.

   Please try it and give your feedback.

6. User defined scales for Dimension tool

   Repost from general discussions:
   I'm delighted to see the addition of the dimensioning tool, but I'm not wild about the fixed choice of scaling ratios. The option to set one's own scales would be great.

   Failing that, a 1:12 scale seems like a glaring omission for those of us still using inches and feet.

   Am I missing something?

   It is possible now to set up a custom scale in Ai Beta 28.4.0.2.

   In Dimension Tool Options dialog open the Scale dropdown and choose custom to get the Custom Scale dialog.

   It works for decimal scales only, like 1:12 or 1:15, but not for Imperial scales like 1/16"

   Please try it and comment back.

7. STRUMENTO CONTAGOCCE E TESTI DI COLORE DIVERSO NELLO STESSO BOX

   Ho un box di testo con alcuni caratteri rossi ed alcuni caratteri neri.
   Voglio copiare tutte le specifiche di testo (font, ecc.) da un altro blocco di testo con lo strumento contagocce senza modificare i colori del box di destinazione.
   Vedo che dallo strumento contagocce ci sarebbe la possibilità di escludere/includere il rilevamento del colore, ma quando si applica al box di destinazione tutto il testo contenuto diventa di un unico colore....

8. Is there an option to set single keys and function keys as hotkeys?

   Is there an option to set single keys and function keys as hotkeys?

   I'm used to another vector drawing program in conjunction with Illustrator and that program has some very easy to use hotkeys that are essential for shape alignments, like C for horizontal centering, E for vertical centering, B for bottom of a shape and T for top, etc. On Illustrator I can't set a single keyboard key as a hotkey for the alignment functions without the use of Ctrl or Shift before the key. That's just a no go for me.

   And since I use F5 as a command on one of my mouse's side buttons, I would love to use it as a hotkey for the selection tool on Illustrator, but it doesn't let me set function keys as hotkeys.
   Look, Adobe developers... If I have to adapt to the program instead of it giving me the options to adapt it to my preferences, then it makes no sense for a user to pay for the program.

   And yes, those options are perfectly possible and probably easy to implement.

   The big question here is why these options are not yet present after SO MANY versions of Illustrator?

9. Isolation mode fading also in Outline mode

   Since Outline mode can be (sometimes for me) get displayed with GPU, with antialiasing, I think dimming the art can also be done.

   Sure, it should be an option (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31941823) and work with CPU too.

10. File > Adobe PDF Presets menu, to have even faster PDF export options

    Starting with build 28.6, we can now Export As PDF (thanks to this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32841790)

    This works alongside with a pervious lesser known method: Save a Copy, as PDF.

    However, exporting a PDF copy to make a quick 'snapshot' still feels slow — we get a dialog and have to choose a preset we want to use.

    Meanwhile InDesign offers a handy configurable menu that allows to skip format options and go with a chosen preset, like the attached screenshot shows.

    Please make a similar menu.

11. Please make live paint more convenient!

    To fill in my drawing outlines or an object, I have to select the section of outlines or shapes first, which is dumb, because in selecting the outlines or shapes, the color fill automatically changes to the color whatever is selected (the color of the stroke or shape's outline, that I want to fill in with a different color. This is made even more frustrating when I have to use the eyedropper to select a fill color, only for my color section to immediately change, upon reselecting the shape outlines I intended to fill in.

    It is also a pain that I seem unable to use the live paint within paint brush stroke outlines, unless the lines are switched to pencil lines or flattened.

    Maybe I just don't know how to properly use the tool. Instead I have to always color in my pictures with filled shapes I make from brush strokes, rather than the live paint bucket tool. I feel like the tool needs a major fix to make it simpler to use.

The menus are currently glaringly bright with dark mode enabled and affect color perception. In a design app , this is not good. Please note that Adobe Acrobat already supports this, why doesn't this capability extend to Creative Suite Apps?

    Editable and complete slug option will be appreciated, see attached an example of my manual slug, i use in conjunction with a plugin which puts date time, the user, etc automatically, but i don't like plugins, I want part of the Adobe illustrator Software.

17. Offset Path - Option to offset to one side of path only

    I wish the "Offset Path" gave me the option to offset the path to one side of the path only.

    When creating labels for linear features on a map it is useful to create an offset version of the line you are labeling (road, river, etc.) and place the type on that path. Sometimes you can just copy the path and nudge it above or below the line that needs to be labeled, and type along that path. But this doesn't always work nicely if the path curves a lot.

    Offsetting a single line in Illustrator results in a path that encircles that line. Adding type to this is problematic and requires manually cutting the offset path at both ends and deleting the part you won't use for labeling. On a map with hundreds of linear labels this is wasted time.

    The AG Offset tool from the Astute Graphics plugin accomplishes this task pretty well, but it is literally the only tool in the whole Astute Graphics suite that I use...to the cost of $149/year. It sure would be great if I could just accomplish this in Illustrator and not have to pay for an entire suite of plugins to accomplish this.

19. Put all Blend options and commands into one dialog / panel

    Blend Tool > Blend Options Panel stinks, nothing personal.
    I use the Blend tool. A lot. When I start a blend, the Properties Panel helpfully tells me that I have a Blend. Thanks for that. But I still have to go to Object > Blend > Blend Options to get any options for the Blend tool. What if the Blend tool options would magically appear in the Properties panel while I'm using that tool?

    Also, the Blend Options panel will not let me make any changes to the blend other than Spacing or Orientation. How about putting the other Blend Options (Expand, Release, Reverse Spline, etc.) in the Blend Options panel so that I can make or preview changes to the blend without having to click Object > Blend > Blend Options each time?

20. 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.
