1. Scale Percentage to automatically tell you the Percent of Increase or Decrease in the Object's Size

   Enhancing the Scale tool so that it automatically tells you the Percent of Increase or Decrease in the Objects Size. When scaling elements in Illustrator I cannot always select all and type in 10 inches and have it be what I need. In the attached Image I need the letter T to equal 10 inches in height and scale the other letters up accordingly. So I take the size of the "T" and now have to manually calculate the percent of increase from 4.691” to 10”.

   With an improved Scaling Tool it would be nice to see what that percentage is right away so that it can be applied to the rest of the layout. In the attached image you can see that the Percent Increase needed is 213.2.

   Thank you for your time and consideration.

2. Drop shadow can't use global color swatches

   Drop shadow's color can be set to global swatch, but is doesn't stick to the effect, it only got sampled. So when you change your global swatch, shadow remains colored with previous color.
   Please, make Drop shadow and other raster effects use global swatches for real.

3. Allow Scale adjustment when creating New Document

   Many times as a designer you have to create artwork that is a fraction of the final scale. It would be nice if you could enter the final size in inches or feet, and then hit a dropdown that would have different fractions of scale (1/8, 1/4, 1/2 etc.) and then illustrator could compute the appropriate numbers. It could also scale down the bleed area as well.

4. Transfer files from Illustrator to Draw

   It's easy to put files onto Illustrator from Draw, but there's no way to put them back in. I'd like to be able to seamlessly go between the two.

5. Make the Prefix field bigger in the Export for Screens dialog

   In addition to adding a checkbox for AI filename (not complete), make the the "prefix" field longer in the Export for Screens dialog.
   I frequently have longer prefixes and it is a minor pain to scroll over to change a prefix name.
   There's plenty of room in that box to make it the width of the rest of the export screen.

6. Ability to change starting point for closed path

   Currently the only option is to cut and the path or redraw the path completely if the starting anchor is in the wrong place. For straight edges, such as a square or even a rectangle it's easy to work around, but when it's a curved edge it is difficult to replicate the same curve with the cut method. Could easily add this feature to stoke effect so that the starting point can be adjusted with a click on the anchor. Or have left and right arrows to move it to a different starting anchor (although that wouldn't work on things with many anchors it would assist with anchor points close together).
   Good for brush strokes, svg, and other applications using the pen tool.

7. Upload Adobe Draw files to Creative Cloud as .ai or .eps files

9. Cannot Pan/Scroll with WACOM pen in Open/Save/Place file dialogue windows.

   Cannot Pan/Scroll with Wacom pen in Open/Save/Place type file dialogue windows in mmany if not all of Adobe apps (where every other non-Adobe app I know of does, Apple and other 3rd parties), obviously this pertains to when you've mapped a Wacom pen button to pan/scroll to use in that manner (Wacom settings screen attached).

   What should happen is being able to interact similar to touch omnidirectional swiping which includes vertical mouse-like scrolling when pressing the button and making contact with the pen, as would be expected and Wacom designed it to do.

   What instead happens: Adobe apps interpret this as a Quick Look request on click of whatever file is targeted by cursor at the time. This defers from every system norm elsewhere on macOS, 1st and 3rd party. Never witnessed this in a non-Adobe app. Adobe apps are essentially ignoring the pan/scroll input from Wacom pens, but strangely only in those types of windows, which are standard and common macOS type views otherwise and not unique to Adobe, so the behavior expected is pretty well established.

   Note: This is not unique to Illustrator. This is an Adobe Suite - wide issue. Photoshop, InDesign reflect same unexpected behavior, and I would suspect others if it's a shared thing across the CC suite of apps. That said, in all other app interactivity other than in these window types, the pan/scroll input is respected and behavior is consistent with expectation.

   ...This issue has plagued Adobe products for a long time and is not newly occurring.

12. Convert to Type On A Path

    The option to convert point or area type to 'type on a path' would be helpful. Also to be able to use the pen tool to add points on a 'point type path' and by doing so converting it to 'type on a path'. This removes the need to draw the path then add the type.

13. Make the new "Properties" panel optional.

    The idea of the properties panel is nice, but it should be customizable. For example, the four pathfinder tools that come up when more than one object is selected aren't the main four that I use, so it would be nice to be able to switch out the default four that pop up.

    It would also be nice if there were a way to not use the new properties panel, and be able to switch in the windows drop down menu to using the old properties panel that is in the top bar across the screen. I don't love the new properties panel from the stand point that it takes away so much of my screen. Most of the time, the entire bottom half of the properties panel is empty. I'd rather just lose a little of the view of my workspace with the thin bar across the top of my screen how it used to be, as opposed to how it is now where I gain just a little more of a view without the bar on the top, but lose so much of the meat of the width of my workspace.

    Maybe I just haven't played around with this enough, but as soon as I saw this is how it worked, and couldn't figure our a way around it, I was instantly frustrated. If I wanted to use this kind of interface, I would just go use sketch or try out XD. But i feel like illustrator should say the way it is. If its not broke, don't fix it.

    Nitish Agarwal responded

    Hi,

    If you want to switch the older control panel you can do that in 2 ways:
    1. Go to Window > Control and the control panel will be shown.
    2. Go to Workspaces and switch to Essential Classic, this will also show the Control panel on the top.

    Thanks & Regards

14. Paint Brush Fidelity

    Old illustrator use to let you change the paint brush fidelity with decimal increments. Now there are just 5 options. Can adobe please just change the slider so we can have more options to choose from? The jumps in fidelity options are just too big and it makes drawing a pain.

15. Add CAD path creation/modification tools

    Some wonderful tools that would help are Trim, Extend, and Corner tools.

    Trim allows you to stop a line at another line. So if you drew a + you could trim the top to the - and make a T.

    Extend does the opposite. It makes a line longer until it hits a target line. It turns |- into a T (rotated).

    Corner tool trims or extends two lines as need to make a corner. |- becomes L by clicking both lines.

    Look to AutoCad or Revit for examples.

16. A hotkey to make the Free Transform tool only transform fill patterns.

    When dragging with the Selection or Direct Selection tools, or using the Rotate, and Scale tools to transform an object, you can hold down ~ to only transform its pattern fill. But the Free Transform tool doesn’t do this. Can we get it to do this?

    (As with the Rotate, Scale, and Selection tools, holding down the other modifier keys whole holding down ~ should act as they normally do with the Free Transform tool.)

    There is a ‘transform pattern only’ option in the Transform panel’s menu, but that’s a lot of clicks far away from the thing you’re actively working on, plus it doesn’t actually WORK. No, really, try it. Make a fill pattern, draw a shape with it, check 'transform pattern only', and watch the entire object be transformed along with its fill pattern.

    (Actually it is the ` key, no need to hold down Shift to get a ~; I just usually refer to it as the ~ because that's easier to distinguish from the '/" key in many fonts.)

19. Archimedean Spirals

    Surely this should just be a default option for spiral drawing, in the current state of design i would imagine regular spirals would be used far more often than logarithmic, the current way to create them is lengthy and cumbersome.
    Hope this makes it!

20. Quick Apply in Illustrator (and all major Adobe apps)

    There’s a neat and extremely useful feature in InDesign called Quick Apply (and I wonder why is it only there). It’s a quick and convenient way to find, select and perform any desired action whose name I know but am unable to find (within myriad of menus and submenus of panel options). Please add the same feature to all major apps.
