1. Better control over position of symbol in mapped classic 3d art

   When placing symbols for image maps in the classic 3D palette, I'd like to have more control over the position of the symbol to be mapped.

   Example: I'm using this function for mockups of labels on bottles. There are a number of bottles, each a different flavor, let's say 4. (The bottles are placed images.) I create a cylinder sized to the bottle image's label area, and map a label symbol to the cylinder for each flavor. The labels need to be in the same place on each cylinder, both size and position. And those 4 bottles with labels are multiplied by 2 or 3, depending on how many concepts there are. So, lots of noodling with the mapped symbols sizes and positions.

   This could take the form of, at the very least, a larger window for placement so you can actually see what you're doing, or fields for x/y and w/h values similar to how they are displayed for transform (but inside the mapping module).

   Another thought about expected behavior: if I copy/paste a mapped cylinder, and then go into the copy and change the mapped symbol to different symbol of another label of the same dimensions, the new symbol would be in the exact same size and position.

   I know you are working on adding mapped graphics to the "new" 3D effect, so maybe this will be added functionality? I know there are others who would appreciate it. When can we expect to try out this functionality in the "new" 3D effect?

   (FYI, I cannot share my company files in public, they're proprietary. But if someone wants to contact me I am happy to send screen shots or share my screen.)

2. Ability to change measurement type under "Art Board Options"

   When an artboard is selected, and ART BOARD OPTIONS menu is active, you can only see measurement in whatever type is already selected DOCUMENT SETUP - i.e. if you get a file that someone built under millimeters, but you work in pixels, inches etc, you have to close the OPTIONS and go back to DOCUMENT SETUP and start over. I have to check art board sizes dozens of times a day and I have to back up many times. A drop down menu under ARTBOARD OPTIONS to change measurement type would be helpful.

3. Support video placement for UX design

   Being able to import videos and make a design on top of a looping video would be super helpful for all of us product designers that need to see how the movement of the video impact on a design. This can help in websites and apps, and for presentation purposes it would be nice to be able to export the video.
   Right now to test a background video on a design you have to export the design and work on a new file inside a video editor.

4. Save as PDF with multiple artboards is slow

   Just had an long trail/error chat with you. We found the problem and thats why i post it here:

   When having a illustator file with 1 image and 4 artboards. (segments of the image). We print & mount the 4 artboards it to make a complete wall vinyl graphics.

   When i Save as PDF the export will take lets say 4 minutes. (it very depends on what image is used) but when i merge all artboards to 1 artboard it saves in 1 minute. So it means that per artboard the export time is multipled by number of artboards.

   Sometimes we have a file with 15 arboards and that will take more then 15 minutes to save. What is very long, illustrator is frozen at that moment.

   The resources of my PC are barely used (CPU & GPU at 10%)
   so there is allot of time that can be saved.

   So basicly i think you need to use more PC resources

   or

   optimize the multiple artboards save as process
   Now it seems to take every step with every artboard over and over again. What is not very smart/quick

5. Color swatch import bug

   To illustrate the bug - I have a file named logo and a file named base. Both have swatches named PRIMARY and SECONDARY (see attached). As I place the logo into the base file - even as a preview - the PLACED file adopts the swatch colors of the base file. I literally need to do the opposite. I need the base file to adopt the swatches of the placed file. Needs to have an option to REPLACE swatches.

6. Tracing with machine learning, Sensei, or something similar

   My question is: Is there is any program or chance that the illustrator trace will use less points and be more accurate?
   I love using the illustrator and I love tracing pictures with hand, but sometimes I just don't have the time or the energy to do it manually and the available trace solution is just not 10/10 for die cut lines and sometimes logo recreations (when the customer can send only a 100x100 pixel file, because of reasons).
   If there was a chance you made something that would check, analyse, and learn from my (and other volunteers') manual tracings for the pictures used, i would LOVE to be a contributor.

   The point is to use less points, more accurate curves and don't know what else should be more refined. Maybe the colours?

   So please Illustrator team buy strong machines that could learn this by analysing hand tracing!
   (Don't know how these work. Maybe send out 50 BW pictures and 50 coloured ones to the participants and gather the info?)

   Thank you for your attention! And sorry if I misspelled anything. English is not my native language.

8. Create new document using current document settings

   I would like to be able to create a new document using the current settings in an open document; artboard measurements, bleed, color swatches, etc.

   For example, when I am creating logos I often iterate on multiple artboards until the client is happy with the final output. I would like to then create a new document so that I can copy/paste the final, approved, logo into a new doc so that I have a clean file I can share or link in InDesign documents.

   This could work as either an option in the new document window, or right clicking an artboard and having the option to "create new document from artboard"

9. Allow us to control the saving of cached copies of raster effects.

   I use a lot of raster effects in my work. A lot. I can easily have several thousand paths with effects on them. (Mostly Gaussian Blur, thanks for speeding that one up a few versions ago!)

   Some experimentation with saving multiple copies of an effect-heavy file with different raster effects resolutions confirmed my suspicion that the file size varies greatly with the effect PPI:

   300ppi: 70.8MB
   150ppi: 28.8MB
   72ppi: 14.4MB
   2ppi: 5.4MB

   Reloading the 300ppi copy made it obvious that there's a cache of raster effects in the file, as I didn't have to wait through a half a minute of progress bars while AI rendered a few thousand gaussian blurs like I did a little earlier when I bumped the resolution up.

   I would love to be able to reclaim a ton of disc space by saving my files without all these images. I am perfectly happy to accept the tradeoff of it taking a moment to render them all when I load in a file.

   I envision another checkbox in the Save dialogue, probably right under the 'PDF compatibility' checkbox. "Include raster effect cache"? Defaults to on for new documents, will come up as off if I do a Save As on a file that I've already saved with it off, just like all the other checkboxes in there.

11. Eliminate the 2 different size canvas modes

    There are scaling issues in large size canvas mode. For instance, when creating a file in large size canvas mode and saving as PDF with trim marks, the trim marks will be scaled up 1000%. Instead of them remaining .375", they scale up to 3.75" (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/44115801)

    Additionally, several third party plug ins do not work properly in large size canvas mode because of this scaling issue.

    Ideally, Illustrator should eliminate the 2 different canvas modes and simply allow any document to be scaled up to the same dimensions as "large size canvas" mode but leave all scaling as it is in the normal size canvas mode.

    CorelDRAW does not have this limitation. Why does Illustrator?

12. Is there a way to change the state of the page information line when exporting from Illustrator to a PDF?

    Is there a way to change the state of the page information line when exporting from Illustrator to a PDF.
    We need it closer to the bleed box (or right on it) and much further to the left.
    We need it closer to the bleed frame (or right on it) and much further to the left.
    I can't find anything in Illustrator's settings (of course). This will probably be defined in some file. I would like to edit this file with an editor to adapt it to our needs. Or is that perhaps possible via a script?

    The background is as follows: Several of these (quite small) files are built up on one printed sheet. We have extended the bleed of several frames in our imposition software in order to be able to see these lines in the case of individual benefits. This makes it much easier to distinguish between the individual types - some of which differ only in details - during further processing. In addition, the time, date and the correction status noted in the file name are very helpful in case of complaints.
    In order to avoid unnecessary work - and human errors - we would like to have this line offset directly at output. So much for the background.

13. Restore a way to copy the value from another filed with a click on the input’s caption in dialogs

    Please bring back the one-click way to duplicate a value from one input field into another for dialogs.

    This was available from version 8 through CS5.
    Make it a toggle in Preferences.

    For example, if i wanted to make a square 100mm x 100mm I would select the rectangle tool (M) and then click once in the work area... the dialogue box would come up... I would then only have to enter 100mm into the Width,
    then click on the Height descriptor (not the white entry portion) and my dimension would be automatically duplicated in the entry portion of the height dimension.

14. Streamline the Fresco To Illustrator Export Process

    Like many I use Illustrator for its Vector properties in order to animate within After Effects, with the agility to scale up assets infinitely when clients change their minds about shots & movements.

    iPads Adobe Draw, meant my assets could become so much more detailed. Which was great! While the push to desktop feature was glitchy for me at best it still mostly resulted with having a neat AI file version of the Draw one. That I could Import into AE with ease. Update with ease. etc.

    It's also useful that I can bring in AI assets to PS as smart objects & add textures etc. while still retaining some agility to scale the asset up if need be.

    So when Fresco came along with the ability to have vector & bitmap layers in one document, all on my iPad i was so excited.

    However I'm disappointed that it only comes up as an option for me to open within PS. Even when the layers are saved as smart objects, I have just wasted my morning trying to understand how changing the colour of my smart object in AI, then moves it's anchor point within PS. Moving all my colour work out of sync with my line work & shade work etc.

    I was excited to tell a client that his colour change requests wouldn't take very long and am now so genuinely shocked at how clunky this process has become.

    The suggested option of saving the Fresco file as a PDF to open in Illustrator is not sufficient.

    Even when not using just bitmaps it flattens my layers and makes unnecessary clipping masks, which make even slight alterations in AI a nightmare.

    Furthermore, all my layers are now named - clipping mask.

    Would much prefer an option to save to AI & have my bitmaps be smart objects & retain my layer hierarchy etc.

    Please & Thank you.

15. "Duplicate artboard" command should have option to create duplicate artwork on its own layer, not double all the assets in the file structur

    Currently when user chooses "Duplicate artboard" command, all of the assets on all layers and sub-layers get duplicated where they are within that layer hierarchy. To make for better asset organization, "Duplicate artboard" should have an option to create a new layer and put all of the duplicated assets in the same layer/sub-layer hierarchy there so then both sets of assets are independent in the layers window.

    should have option to create duplicate artwork on its own layer.

16. Menu TYPE no Illustrator

    Creio que seria muito interessante inverter a ordem no Menu Type:
    "Fontes Recentes" ficar antes da opção "Fontes".
    Porquê:
    Ao levar o ponteiro do mouse para o menu "Fontes Recentes", quase sempre o mouse atinge a opção "Fontes", o que trava momentaneamente o programa (carregando as fontes). Então, o que deveria ser uma coisa rápida, prática, acaba ficando lenta. A troca na ordem dessas opções acabaria com esse incoveniente.

17. Allow Color Coding for windows and tabs

    I appreciate the many ways Adobe has updated the workspace in Illustrator to be as efficient as possible. However, one thing that I constantly find myself running into is the slight frustration of having to click, or read, or hotkey through the different tabs or windows in order to perform a new function or locate a file.

    A project may require many windows in my workspace or I'm working with multiple files I'm having to bounce between.. I'm in a good creative workflow zipping through my project, and then, I find myself having to stop and do a little search for the little tab before I realize I need to scroll down, or it's been stacked with the Swatches, or it collapsed, or I need to go through each file, or whatever it may be to find what I'm looking for. Argh:(

    At this point that flow has stopped and I'm met with slight frustration. It would be great if I could color code the actual tab to find it easier. I feel it would be as easy as seeing something from the corner of your eye and knowing exactly where to go for your next function and it feel intuitive.

    It's something I've been wishing for a lot lately and thought why not write a request. Anyways, I hope there are others who feel this way or find this helpful.

However, one thing that I constantly find myself running into is the slight frustration of having to click, or read, or hotkey through the different tabs or windows in order to perform a new function or locate a file.

    A project may require many windows in my workspace or I'm working with multiple files I'm having to bounce between.. I'm in a good creative workflow zipping through my project, and then, I find myself having to stop and do a little search… more

18. Define a default placement option

    Make it possible to define other placement options in preferences. So you can, for example, make complete documents with "File dimensions" as a preference

19. Add "Layer" to the application menu like File, Edit, Object... like Photoshop has.

    Add "Layer" to the application menu like File, Edit, Object, Type, Select, Effect, View, Help.

    Like Photoshop has.

    Explanation: Reading through the menu items is much more intuitive when learning about the application capabilities in regards to many features. Going from Photoshop to Illustrator, there are many similarities however the unique separations of the features such as accessing and interacting with the layers is one of the main inhibitors during my orientation to using illustrator to the degree to which I use photoshop.

20. Print option to select which artboard(s) to rotate

    I have an illustrator file open with 2 artboards in it. I am trying to print them both on 1 page (double sided). I can do that, however, I am having problems with one side of the page being upside down. Is there a way to fix this; other than manually flipping one of the artboards 180 degrees prior to printing?

    My thought would be to have a feature in Illustrator (& other Adobe programs) in the print dialog box under the orientation section. Utilizing the auto-rotate checkbox, if you uncheck it you could have an option to select which artboard(s) to rotate (currently all artboards are rotated at the same time)? I know we can select certain artboards to print, so would it be possible to add this in where we could select which artboard(s) to rotate? I understand that 1) this is easy to ask, but harder to implement & 2) you might feel like the issue is a printer issue, but I feel like it could be solved in Illustrator & I have not found anything in my printer settings that can fix this problem either.
