1. Set default artboard name as file name

   Is it possible to have a setting in preferences to set the default artboard name as the file name?

   Generally I name all my artboards the "file nameCMYK" or "FilenamePantone" for exporting later and it's just a tedious extra step to have to go in and name EVERY artboard what I've already named the file instead of just tacking on a delineation.

2. Show artboard user-assigned names and numbers when exporting/saving

   When saving as a PDF (and other similar activities) the dialog box will allow you to filter to certain artboards using their numbers. However if you're using lots of artboards it can be difficult to know which artboard to select. I usually have to go back through the document, activate the artboard tool to see the names, make notes of the number, and then resume my export/save. How about adding the user-assigned name along side the artboard numbers in the dialog filter. Or possibly have a list of artboards (like the artboards panel) and simply check boxes for exporting.

3. Live Free Distort

   I would like to see the "Free Distort" effect be extended to work on the actual object, not going through a tiny dialog box that feels like I'm trying to apply it to a postage stamp. It's really difficult to apply a distorted shape to a larger area when I am guessing if a 1-pixel move of a tiny handle is going to make a difference or not. It would be amazing if four independent handles were on the actual art and allow me to move the corners exactly to the spot I want to place them at. It's a handy tool for the work I'm doing but would make my work much easier if it were more user-friendly. Right now it feels like a feature that is 1994-ish (and yes I was using Illustrator before then - still my favorite app of all time!)

4. Set "Registration" (and/or other library color) to Dimension tool

   I would like the ability to set the size color in "Registration" on the lines and text. Unfortunately currently (version 28.1) it is possible to freely set the colors but it is not possible to set the Registration color or other colors present in the document samples. This would be very useful for me when printing color separations for different uses.

5. Option to auto-sharp an anchor point when using the pen tool.

   By default when making a anchor point with the pen tool it gives you a curve anchor(2 direction handles). I request that we have the option to make it a sharp anchor(1 direction handle).

   Currently in order to make a sharp anchor you have to go back and select the anchor again. This is a slow method if you only draw in sharp anchors. By having this new option it will be lot faster and easier to draw in this style.

   You can do that by holding Alt right after you click the first point with the Pen tool and releasing it after you finish dragging the handle out. This creates legitimate corner point with one hadle.

6. [Script HELP] Import file to artboards and flatten transparency

   Hi, I'm looking for a script that can IMPORT files (AI, PDF, EPS) by inserting these files, or multipage PDFs, onto multiple illustrator tables in a connected way.
   Then let me select eg. from table 1 to 5 (of 200) and apply a preset registered in the CONVERT TRANSPARENCY panel.

   Can someone help me?

7. Align to object on ANOTHER artboard! yeah yeah!

   Aligning to an object on another arboard would be really great + needed, for AI users.

   In addition to functions like, align to key object and select/edit similar shapes,
   It would be so so great to be abled to align an object, to another object, on another artboard!

   In short:
   Aligning objects to the position of other objects on other artboards.
   Without having to move objects to the same artboard 1st, or copy their x/y values, just for alignment.

   Some thoughts/notes:

   Implementation,
   With artboard rules activated, of course. This seems to be a similar function to the ones that exist: Like the align to key object option and the align to artboard option. I can Imagine it would take relatively little coding to implement this. Though, what to gain from this feature would be very much worth it.

   Scenario, where this is needed,
   When working with multiple artboards, often I need to cut and past objects to align them to another artboard, and back. Just to align them to of an object over there. Many ways to rome of course. But all vary from being time consuming task that need to be repeated to often, to actually causing faults in documents.
   Other ways, for example:
   Cutting and pasting the object that needs to be aligned, to the artboard containing the object that needs alignment / vice versa.
   Cutting and pasting X and Y values.
   Using the select/edit similar object (if similar).

   In the end, all available options are time consuming actions that can even cause faults.
   Examples of faults: values ending up within positions in the artwork, that might be missed and actually end up in your client corrections feedback. Even if you are super precise, within large documents, a more reliable option would be welcome for this task. Other examples, cutting and pasting, taking extra actions/time to lock and unlock other layers, or having object ending up in the wrong layers, causing ..more actions.

   Efficiency, user experience, workflow/time,
   All of the mentioned examples of faults that can happen, can off course (if you know your basics well) be prevented. But I think anybody who does work wit AI often, would agree this task could work much more intuitive. There are so many details to it, that make this simple task, you execute so often, very unpractical, and to comprehensive.

   Select/edit similar shapes, is often not the option that works out:
   - What if (this is many times), the object needing to be aligned is not similar and/or not on the same artboard.
   - Or even when similar: often the key object that is positioned right, was moved already (the creation process is not entirely planned ahead). In that case new problems arise, that could all be resolved simply. A great solution would be to to select one of those, align it to an object on another artboard.
   Examples:
   Other objects on other artboards, that are similar, still need to be aligned to that one.
   - Select/edit similar objects does not work in combination with selecting an object that you want to align them to.
   - If they are all in scattered positions, editing the position of these similar objects by moving a key object, moves them all accordingly, but keeps them scattered, instead of aligned.
   - So.. they will ALL need to be either replaced, or.. aligned ONE BY ONE..

   I could go on.
   I am a bad writer and not a native English speaker,
   However, I hope this is a convincing case for both users and developers, that will be implemented.

   :) Thanks for reading and kind regards!

8. Add the Make Compound Path icon back to the Properties panel

   A couple years ago, there was an icon (below the pathfinder tools) that appeared in the properties panel when you had multiple items selected - Make Compound Path. A subsequent update removed that tool from the properties panel. Release compound path is still available right there in the properties when the selected object happens to be a compound path. Some people suggest just using the pathfinder Union to make a compound path, but it's definitely not the same thing as making a compound path (pathfinder union on non-connected items makes a group, not a true compound path - they're not the same thing).

9. Allow to reposition buttons in the Align panel

   Recently Ai Beta added the Full Align button in the Align panel, following this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34796770

   Works perfectly, great icon for it too — my only extra beg is that the order of the align buttons can be amended, so I can drag them into an order that works for ease of use :)

11. crashed and erased my project file? from two hard drives?

    Just letting you know I just updated AI and it just crashed and the project file I was working on (that I had saved to two separate external hard drives) is nowhere to be found now, it didn't show up in my recent files and now I have searched where it was saved on both hard drives and it is completely gone. Awesome. So I guess my request is that if illustrator crashes make it to where it at least doesn't delete the project completely, and autosave backup would be nice but I'd really rather not have to start projects over from scratch bc the project file gets completely erased. Thanks.

12. Correct View > Snap to Grid shortcut from Cmd/Ctrl+" to proper Cmd/Ctrl+'

    My request is a bit nerdy, but hey! I have been using Illustrator for 'ages' and one of the shortcuts is simply not correct. I always think it's cute, in a way, but still.
    The shortcut to show or hide the grid is listed as Ctrl + "
    This is impossible to achieve since you need the 'Shift' key to type the double quotation marks :)
    So, I think it should be Ctrl + ' .
    The shortcut to snap to the grid is fun in this light; it's Ctrl + Shift + "
    So, I was wondering if anyone had ever thought 'Wait a minute...'

    Oh, and this also applies to the shortcut for 'Snap To Point', which is listed as Ctrl + Alt + "
    I am very curious!

13. A keyboard shortcut option for "Redefine Graphic Style" in the Appearance panel's menu

    I have shifted to a very Graphic Style-focused workflow lately and find myself constantly hitting this menu item when I'm figuring out exactly what a Style should look like. I would like to be able to assign a shortcut to it.

    It is currently nowhere to be found in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel. It is also one of the many, many actions in Illustrator that can't be recorded in an Action.

    There's a lot of menu items in Illustrator's panels that have these problems and it would be great to have a general fix for all of them, but this is the one whose lack is bugging me the most lately.

    While the Knife tools definitely lacks precision (and there is a request about it), but there is a way you can use any path as a cutting path, the same way the Knife does.

    Draw a path over the objects you want to cut, select it and use Object > Path > Divide Objects Below.

    Please comments back if it works or doesn’t work for you.

15. 2D Extrude

    I would like a 2D extrude feature. For example...

    1. Draw a box and add extra points to it.
    2. Select every other set of two points (i.e. segments) and pull them so they extrude out (instead of bend - or have the choice of bend OR extrude), perpendicular to the line they're on.

    Currently I have to duplicate and rotate and then merge... I'd rather like to be able to pull out extruded segments without having to do it manually.

    Boom! great idea, thanks for adding my name to the next release with this new tool. If you don't understand this idea I'd be happy to draw it out for you in a diagram...

    Cheers, I'll be happy with only 1% of global sales... thanks :)

16. Give aligning options for Text on Path tool.

    When using the Text on Path tool, it would be nice to have alignment/distribution options.
    Aligning the first and last letter, center at top or bottom, and fit text around a shape.
    They way it is now, you have to drop guides and align and distribute the text so that it is even.
    It would be wonderful also to use the dropper tool to apply the alignment to new text. For instance, if I have an emblem and need to wrap several different texts around it, then once I have one the way I like I could easily apply that all text groups.
    This would be valuable when creating logos or graphics that have text going around an emblem or other shape.

17. Make it possible to have NO active Artboard

    I often take screenshots of my work within Illustrator for Proofing purposes and more.. but when doing this I'm often stuck with the dark outline of the active artboard mixed in with multiple other images that do not have the dark artboard line. yes, often times I can simply hide artboards and get what I need, but other times what I'm looking for is only within my Trim view. So even when I go into Trim view and try to hide artboards to remove this dark outline, it does not. I recently learned that toggling to overprint fill turns the background white instead of gray, which is nice, but the active artboard line is still there. So, my first thought was to allow no active artboard to be possible. this could be done within the Artboard window, by clicking in the empty space beneath the artboard list (which currently looks like it does this, yet the Artboard still remains active (dark border).

19. Add a triangle to the shapes tool apart from the star.

    I'd LOVE if there was a triangle tool other than using the star tool to make it easier and quicker. I make a lot of signs with arrows and it'd be SO nice. THX!

20. Show the exact location where snapping to grid occurs

    Snap to Grid is underrated. Illustrator makes everything to make it uncomfortable to use: no constantly available indicator, clashing with Smart Guides, the general lack of customization (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32403847-make-center-point-visible-while-dragging-art)...

    And also it does not give enough feedback on WHERE the moved / transformed object snaps to, to which exact gridlines’ intersection.

    Something just happens!
    Look at the GIF — this 13.25×13.25 magenta square feels like it’s lagging, also I’m just trying to position it.

    Look at the second GIF, from Affinity Designer. Can you spot the difference? We can clearly see which point it snaps to, no problem. Well, almost clearly, lines get drawn too late and too pale to my taste... but at least they exist!
