1. When opening a file with missing links and fonts, add an option to the warning dialog to...

   Place the image rather than trying to open it natively/embedded. In my screenshot here the idea is you could choose to Cancel, open a new document and Place in new document, as those are always my next steps when this issue arises.

2. Add a "move/copy art with artboard" switch to the artboard options, or the main prefs.

   Currently the only place the "move/copy art with artboard" switch exists is a button on the Control bar. I have never liked the Control bar and have hidden it since it was first added to Illustrator back in CS3.

   In my workflow, I almost never want to move/copy art with artboard, and for some reason this switch constantly turns itself back on, so it's extra annoying to have to either lock all my layers, or dig around this part of the interface I never use.

   If I hit return with the Artboard tool selected, I'll bring up the current artboard's options. And in these options there's also a "global' section that would be a perfect place to add this switch so it's quickly accessible in that moment when I perform my regular workflow of "switch to artboard tool, move an artboard, realize I didn't lock every single layer in my file beforehand, swear, undo, lock everything, make the artboard change I wanted, unlock the layers I was working on". A switch there would let me shorten thos to "switch to artboard tool, move an artboard, swear because stuff moved along with it, undo, hit return, turn off move/copy with artboard, stop worrying about this until Illustrator decides to flip this switch on its own again".

3. Path selection sensitivity in Illustrator

   You've finally made the node & anchor point sizes adjustable - HURRAY! However now when trying to directly select a path, i instead have to click on an area NEAR it but not ON it, so as not to pick up the other nearby paths. Furthermore, instead of being able to click in a blank area and drag my selection tool to pick up the paths Id like, it picks up everything near enough to where I've clicked in that blank space. It NEVER used to do that. Ive tried adjusting all the settings to no avail. its like now the sensitivity of the selection tool is off!?!?! Instead of being able to directly select what Im clicking ON, it'll pickup everything ELSE near it, and NOT the path Im actually trying TO selelct!!!!

   In the 3 examples I've attached (one file) you can clearly see where I've clicked with my cursor and which path it picks up. *Sorry for the moire screen effect, it was the only way I could get a pic of where the cursor was placed as well (screen shot would not pick up the cursor).

4. Please update the Glyph Panel with a search feature for icon tags in icon fonts.

   Currently, if I create a text block to add an icon-font, the default placeholder text prevents the icon font from being displayed in the Glyphs pallet. I have to delete the placeholder text just to see the Glyphs.

   But more importantly, I spend a great deal of time digging through these icon fonts to find the icon I need.

   What would be ideal is if you would enhance the Glyphs pallet to include a simple text field that would allow me to search within an icon font (or really any font) for a specific character tag.

   The enclosed image shows how the Glyph panel could look. You would add a search field to the top of the panel where I could type in an icon search term. In this case "arrow". All of the icons in the font with the tag "arrow" would be highlighted in yellow.

   If I select an icon, it turns blue and the associated tags are displayed at the bottom. In this case, I searched for arrow, but wanted the play button. So I could click the Tag button and add the "arrow" tag to that icon for future reference. If I wanted to delete a tag from a font, the popup tag menu would allow me to delete the tag (as well as the close button on the tag itself).

   Also, notice that this would allow me to view as a standard glyph table as well as a taglist table. The icons would run vertically in a column with their associated tags to the right of them.

   By maintaining the font-icon-tag list in a simple json file or xml or whatever, you could allow new icon font makers to tag their own fonts for convenience. You would only have to tag the fonts in the Adobe Font Library, which I would volunteer to do if it would help make this possible.

   If someone added an icon font that had no tags, they would be able to add their own tags.

6. Sticky swatches, patterns, gradients, brushes and symbols.

   I get so very tired of having to re-create what I've made or added earlier, or find the original file that contains things I've created earlier. It's starting from zero every time I open a new file.

   It would be so nice to have things I added to panels be there for the next file.

   There are several options to make resources sticky.

   1. Save your swatches/brushes/etc. library as user defined one on a disk, using the dedicated panel’s menu. Open each then from same menu in User Defined sub-folder. When the separate palette appears, mark is as Persistent in this panel’s menu, This will make these palettes stick after Illustrator relaunches.

   2. You can locate document profiles (Print.ai, Web.ai, etc.) on your machine (in New Document Profiles folder), edit their predefined presets, and resave them. This will make every new document based on these profile to have your resources.

   3. Save a current document with the resources as a template, and later call them File > New from template. This will fixate the artboards settings though, unlike method 2.

   But be careful with methods, because Ai can reset document profiles when updates.

7. Illustrator or Photoshop for digital drawing??

   I am a digital artist. I didn't see a thread about difference between this two software , and it seemed like no one has given their impressions on this oftware so I wanted to put together something quick to kickstart a discussion or something.

   Illustrator is a vector based application and Photoshop is an image editor. That means Photoshop works with pixels and Illustrator does not. Illustrator drawings can be scaled and printed at any size without loss of image quality. The lines are very clean and sharp, which is great for logo design and illustration. Photoshop drawings can be more similar to drawing with traditional media like pencils, or chalk, or paint, if that's what you want.

   If you draw in Photoshop it is important to plan ahead for final output size. If you want to eventually print your drawing at 16" x 20", then you need to start with a document that big, at a resolution of at least 150 ppi (depending on how it will be printed). When you draw in Illustrator you don't have to worry about any of that in the beginning.

   What kind of drawing are you trying to create? What's the final intent for the drawing? Do you want a super sharp clean edge drawing, or something more organic? You have to answer those questions before you can get the correct answer.

   IF you decide that Photoshop is perfect for your drawing needs, then you must get a pressure sensitive drawing tablet . XP-Pen makes a affordable and well-built graphics tablets.

   https://www.xp-pen.com/goods/lists/catid/118.html

   I combine drawing and photography for my composite art. I start the old fashion way with pencil on paper, then color it in Photoshop. The final look is much different then something created in Illustrator. Here's my most recent drawing composite.

   Von Glitschka is the best Illustrator artist I know. His work has a completely different look and style. He primarily works in Illustrator and has written several books and recorded several Lynda.com courses about his workflow.

   Patrick Lamontagne is a cartoon artist who does all of his work in Photoshop, including the line drawing part. He also does photo realistic paintings completely with Photoshop.

   I hope somebody can find this helpful. Let me know.

8. Add a Save Preset button into the legacy File New dialog

   Illustrator recently added a button to save the current New Document settings as a preset: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35253820
   Please add a similar one into the legacy dialog too.

11. Custom keyboard shortcuts for File Commands should work when no document is open.

    Because custom keyboard shortcuts only work when a file is open, some File Commands like New from Template don't work when you would need it.

12. Export selected artboards using "Exports for Screens" with editing capabilities preserved

    Can you provide a checkbox in Adobe Illustrator that allows exporting the selected artboard from a file with multiple artboards, while preserving editing capabilities? This would ensure that fonts and images are not missing, and that the file size remains small due to only the selected artboard being included.

    I work for a Hindi newspaper, and the fonts I use in the file are not available everywhere. As a result, the fonts get missing on certain systems if the file is exported as a PDF without 'Preserve Editing Capabilities' enabled, which affects the quality of the product. Additionally, if the file size is small, it will be easier to export, and Adobe Illustrator will function more efficiently.

13. Export for screens with subfolders organized by artboard

    Often I am having to export multiple file formats for all artboards in a single working file. E.g. when sending a group of signs to a printer, they will want an individual native .AI file, a PNG full-res preview, and a JPG thumbnail. Currently, you can create subfolders based on Scale or Filetype, but it would be immensely helpful if there was the ability to create subfolders based off of Artboard Name, since it is often the specific design that someone is looking for.

15. Cursor at the end of document name field during "Save as"

    When you "Save as," the cursor automatically appears at the end of the document name in the document name field - i.e. right after the file name extension. I never need to edit the file name extension, as I can do that in the dropdown menu, but I DO need to edit the name of the document. This, combined with the fact that there's now a lag of a few seconds before you can type in the document name field (submitted in separate comment), is making saving different versions of the same file veeeery annoying.

17. Allow links to be embedded when link is missing, rather than showing an empty box

    If a link is missing from my file, rather than hunt down the link, I create a new file, and embed the file with the missing link in it. Once it's been embedded I have the high res raster image, just not necessarily with the same name. Much like photoshop tells you raster info will be used for fonts, or missing links use raster info it would be great if Illustrator gave you the option to embed. It may only be possible for images with full PDF compatibility, but it'd be a great improvement!

18. Being able to export an object with a mesh tool as a obj design from Ai to use as a model in Adobe Dimension

    I created a mesh design and illustrator as a plastic bag with wrinkles was not able to export as an OBJ file to use in adobe dimension. Now that Photoshop does not have full fledge 3-D tools., I am not sure if it’s possible to create an OBJ file that has mesh in it.
    Thanks

19. Each item in the document to have its own persistent history

    Linear document history seems very dated considering how much ram computers have these days, a hierarchical multi-dimensional object oriented history seems like a good idea. It would be amazing if I could choose to access the history of each item in the layers panel. it might work similar to file versioning solutions like GIT.

    This history could be optionally saved into the file or cloud library so it can be accessed across sessions.

20. Recognize the Develop settings applied in Camera Raw

    When I drag a jpg image from Bridge to Illustrator, I would like for Illustrator to recognize the Develop settings that I applied in Camera Raw without first saving the image as a separate file.
    Later changes to the Develop settings would then prompt an update in Illustrator like it does currently when a file is changed.
