1. The ability to add CSS code from the Generator to CC libraries

   Hi there, I wanted to put in a feature request that would allow a designer to add CSS code from the generator to be added to CC libraries as a text file.

   As a designer, I create elements for our dev team and they are able to take the CSS code I generate from my designs and integrate it into another product for web development. But it would be good to give them a CSS library folder where they can access the code for the designs. At the moment in my testing, it only creates a graphic of the text, which is not much use.

   So, yeah this I think would be a great feature of Adobe Illustrator.

2. Renaming Slices for Easier Export

   Since slices allow us to optimize to a set file size, we use sliced artboards at work to quickly create/export jpegs for the Google Display Network and for our sites. We've made the process pretty seamless with solid templates, but the only thing we haven't figured out how to do is rename the slices. The default is FileNameSliceNumber, but that slice number doesn't help us see the dimensions at a glance. If in our template we could rename slice "04" to "728x90" or whatever custom descriptor was necessary, we wouldn't need to manually change the slice name when delivering assets to vendors and clients.

3. Please add legacy menus and tools as a workspace

   Please, please add legacy menus and tools as an option for a workspace. I have been using AI 3 for years on my old G5 and recently went to a new iMac and bought the full line monthly for all Adobe programs. Acrobat is so much better, PS is tolerable, but AI is near impossible! Everything has moved, the tools react differently and I'm having a heck of a time trying to find everything! Page setup is gone, I do a lot of Image Tracing (all the way back to when you needed that extra program to do it!) and I'm pretty lost. I have used AI 5 so I know that's okay, AI 6 changed a lot of things so I can't even download the version on the Cloud and use that, it's relatively useless. I'd like to keep the new engine while being able to find everything! Please! I know you can do it on some individual tasks and tools, but doing it as a workspace would make it so much easier.

4. Layer clipping mask (a bit like a paste-inside on steroids!)

   I'd like to be able to convert a shape into a layer clipping mask which would then allow sub-layers to be created/converted so that they only remain visible within in the shape's boundary and would subsequently honour any sub-layer effects applied therein.

   Why?

   Well at the moment I have to expand any paths with effects applied to layers so that any effect is captured inside the clipping mask. This results in a destructive edit to my artwork and file duplication so that I can revert to the previous editable state when I need to make any changes.

   Background:
   I regularly make use of the appearance panel to build up various stroke effects (for example, 3 strokes layers per path of varying thicknesses when creating railway tracks/roads etc.) but apply that style to a layer so that the sub-layers / paths take on that appearance and seamlessly merge all my various paths.

   Unfortunately, clipping masks remove any effects/styles applied to layers.

   As Scott Falkner says in comments, you can clip a whole layer if you select a path you want to use as a mask, then open the Layers panel and select Make Clipping Mask from the flyout menu.

5. Problem with Adobe Illustrator pressure on a Surface pro 7

   I recently purchased a Surface Pro 7. I am a graphic designer and an artist and I've always worked on Illustrator but after installing it to my Surface Pro the experience is ruined for me.

   I cannot get a sharp line even if my life depended on it.

   Basically the lines inside the box are the lines I'm getting, the single line outside of the box is what I should be getting but I'm not. It's like the pressure works but not on the low end as I can't make a line sharp, it always ends up like this.

   By the way - When I first set up my Calligraphic 3x3 pressure brush and when I try to draw a line it looks like it's not being processed but it actually turns out with the right pressure, as it's supposed to be, but then when I get the real time processing (about half a minute later) and I can see the pressure while I am drawing the line I am getting these awful round lines.

   P.S. The device is not faulty as the pressure sensitivity works great in Photoshop and Clip Paint Studio and I get great sharp lines there with accurate pressure.

   Please help me, I want to continue using Illustrator, that's why I bought the Surface Pro 7 initially, but I just can't get the pressure to work right! All of the Surface Pro users are experiencing this same bug so it is a big issue and I hope that you manage to find a way to fix it with the information that I provided.

7. bug: Screen turns black after choosing width tool

   In between bugs I still try to make something in Illustrator, and now this happened:

   1. I hit Shift + W on the keyboard to select the width tool.
   2. Instead of the width tool cursor, the cursor became a black rectangle.
   3. I noticed both the Selection tool and width tool were selected in the tools window.
   4. I dicided to click on an Anchor anyway, and the screen turned black. The video signal went off, monitor went on standby. The HDD/SSD light on the PC was flashing nonstop. PC did not respond to anyting (I think, but I could not see because there was no visual).
   5. Working file was recovered after reboot, that's nice.

8. Opening menu customization workflow

   As an option for those starting out with Adobe Illustrator, I would like to see you develop a master menu setup process to help me find all the tools I may need for my project. It could begin by asking me/allowing me to select from a list all the things I will want to do with a new project or a newly-opened image file, Adobe or otherwise.
   Those tools and options selected would appear in a dock-able menu window.
   Then, based on known user workflows of different experience levels, Illustrator could recommend additional tools and even tutorials for the different tools and workflows selected and added from known workflows. This would also include a plain-language "where is ____?" search window for users who do not know what everything is precisely called or which menu list in which something might be located.
   Again, this new project menu customization would be an option until a user is experienced enough to know where everything is located in the extensive tool menus.
   Thanks.

9. Scrollable tabs and more usable Layers panel

   I would like if the Ai interface was less "cluttered" and "manual" to use.

   Specifically, as in the case of having many tabs open than they fit in the viewport, I have to click on the double chevrons (>>) to only be able to open one file at a time. Rather, would you guys consider making it scrollable? Or have the Layers panel open like Adobe Xd (aids renaming and hiding/locking)?

   As for a more "usable" Layers panel, I would appreciate if the panel could make it easier to name and select layers. For example, if I have an item in the artboard selected, I don't need to select the little blue dot (see attached photo) for it to register that it's actually selected on the artboard, especially if I'm selecting more than one item. I end up having to hold Shift to select the Layers in the panel, and then clicking again on EVERY blue icon to select the items on the artboard (e.g. for grouping purposes). If this can be changed, I would truly appreciate it - it really helps with renaming and grouping layers!!

11. CGM Import

    Enable Ai to import CGMs that have Active X controls. I export CGMs from an IETM, but do not need to retain the embedded links within the CGM file. Allow Ai to import Active X CGMs and disable Active X. May want to display popup window stating Active X will be lost unless save imported CGM as a new file.

12. MAJOR PROBLEMS!! Cache/Scratch NOT assigning to my selected Drives

    No matter how many times I un-install and re-install Illustrator, the program WILL NOT ACCEPT when I select a destination to my specific and dedicated Cache/Scratch SSD. I have a permanent studio setup with the latest MacBook Pro 64GB of RAM.. Everything was custom built the best it could be in April of 2020. The second I open Adobe Illustrator, my Available RAM goes from around 55GB to 124MB?!!!!!!! I know it's a RAM heavy program but that is insanity. Nothing is that heavy or works like that. Its forcing a notice to pop up from my Mac saying that I need to free RAM IMMEDIATELY! or close the problem application/s. I can't even open Illustrator half the time to even bother with the main problem I'm having which is I cannot for the life of me dedicate a **** cache / scratch drive. Upon closing and restarting the program and locating back to preferences > Plugins and Scratch.. It is always back on "Startup".. IT NEVER REMEMBERS THE DRIVE I SELECT. ALSO.. Photoshop does the same freaking thing! At least it lets me select cache/scratch.. But it never uses them! It ONLY uses the DEFAULT Startup location that was set upon installation. I also have the same problem with Lightroom. NOTHING... NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING puts cache where it's supposed to go, which is in my dedicated.. $380.00 dollar SSD that is set aside specifically for program cache.. Apple's Final Cut Pro X and Motion have zero problem using it.. ONLY ADOBE.. Please STOP TAKING MY MONEY AND FIX THESE ISSUES. IF NOT I WILL BE FORCED TO USE 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE AND I DONT WANT TO. Adobe is the industry standard for a reason and Ive been using for many years now, but this is beyond unfair and ridiculous... I can take my skills and adapt albeit unfortunately.. I'll attach a screenshot that clearly describes the ILLUSTRATOR issue and where its happening.. And how it's putting everything on my MAIN HD instead of the EXTERNAL SSD of which I've dedicated just for Cache/Scratch. Also, NEITHER of MY Illustrator OR Photoshop are purging their cache after exiting the program. Even after uninstallation numerous times over, and opening a fresh document with Zero Layers, Zero anything.. My cache sizes are already 20/40+GB. THEY WILL NOT EMPTY/PURGE/Whatever is leftover somewhere or anywhere or whatever is being instantly and consistently created. Not even my scrubber (Clean My Mac X - Thank God for them or your programs would leave me with maybe a 5 minute window to work..) can find these hidden files. It can find the basic obscure ones which are hardly just enough to keep me scraping by at the moment.. Your move.

13. Feedback on new Recolor artwork (in Beta now)

    New redesigned Recolor artwork is available in Beta now.

    We heard from many of you that the current Recolor is confusing and difficult to use. This new Recolor has a completely redesigned experience with an added ability to recolor your art based on your referenced images & artwork. We have broken the Recolor into two sections. When you invoke Recolor, you would see an on canvas dialogue that allows you to quickly Recolor your artwork with all the basic controls. For advanced settings, you can click on more options (...).

    We would love to hear your candid feedback. Please provide your feedback on this thread. This will be actively monitored by the Illustrator team. If you don't have access to Beta please drop a note to me at: kotwal at Adobe dot com.

    Known Issues:
    1. The number of colors in the Recolor Palette doesn’t get updated on Mac.
    2. Document get scrolled when dragging the color palette’s distribution slider to the left
    3. A flicker of the color text box when dragging the Palette on Windows
    4. Colour Wheel’s UI doesn’t get updated on changing Illustrator’s UI theme
    5. Grabber on HUD is not clearly visible in dark theme
    6. Performance lag while applying to recolour to Complex Artworks
    7. Swatches group cannot be added from Library to swatch panel while HUD is active
    Color distribution Palette at the bottom flickers when changes are made via slider — intermittent
    8. Recolor Palette getting dismissed on changing color numbers to 1 -> All , Theme from None -> something else -> None
    9. The linked file that was not loaded when used as source Artwork causes a crash
    10. Assert on clicking on recolor button when the dialog is still active (or click twice)
    11. Annotation remains on screen after the dismissal of dialog — rare (happens when hover theme picker cursor over a vector art and suddenly move to palette before the annotations disappear)
    12. Asserts on applying to recolor to brush Art
