New Tool Suggestion: Color Harmony Tool
Dear Adobe Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to propose the development of a new Color Harmony Tool for Adobe Illustrator. As a designer who frequently uses Illustrator for creating artwork, I believe such a tool would greatly enhance the creative process by facilitating better color combinations and harmonies.
Problem: Illustrators and designers often face challenges in selecting and maintaining color harmonies within Adobe Illustrator. While the existing color tools are robust, they could benefit from integrated features specifically tailored for creating and managing color harmonies.
Proposed Solution: Introduce a dedicated Color Harmony Tool that offers:
Predefined Color Schemes: Access to classic color harmony rules such as complementary, triadic, analogous, and more.
Customizable Harmonies: Ability to create and save custom color palettes based on user-defined harmony rules.
Real-time Preview: Instant visualization of how selected colors interact within the artwork.Benefits:
Enhanced Creativity: Facilitates exploration and application of harmonious color schemes, fostering more aesthetically pleasing designs.
Improved Efficiency: Streamlines the color selection process with intuitive tools that save time and effort.
Consistency: Helps maintain color consistency across projects and ensures cohesive design outcomes.Implementation Details:
The tool could be integrated into Illustrator's Color panel or as a standalone feature, accessible from the toolbar.
Compatibility with Illustrator's existing color management tools to ensure seamless integration and user familiarity.Conclusion: By incorporating a Color Harmony Tool into Adobe Illustrator, you would provide designers with a powerful resource for creating visually compelling artwork while enhancing workflow efficiency.
Thank you for considering this proposal. I believe this tool would greatly benefit Illustrator users and contribute to Adobe's continued leadership in creative software innovation.
Best regards,
Christian Mulcahy

Batch Generation on Gen Ai (text-to-vector) Features
Do you know something that would be cool?
Some script only for testing purposes, or maybe this could be a feature.The script could generate all the 5 levels of Detail of Text-to-Vector
(and/or all levels of any feature that have or will have intensity control)I mean generating 5 copies, each one with the one of the 5 levels of the detail. and keep the other settings as the same for all the generations.
(the same for other gen ai features)I do this manually, but I will be very happy with a feature that does this for me.
I know this will spend a lot of credits. But we can compare faster, instead do it manually.
What do you think people? Is this possible?I know that I will use it.

Multiple Libraries Open and Docked at the same time...
Right now we can only have 1 library open at once in illustrator. Please make it so we can have multiple libraries open at the same time similar to the way we can have multiple swatch libraries open at the same time...

Ability to shift and organize projects on the Home screen
Sometimes I want organize projects not based on time I worked on it or name, but just what I would like to be at the top, so I would like the freedom to move them around freely rather than having them restricted to those two choices.

Calculate surface area with Dimension tool
With the last update, you brought the possibility of customizing the scale in the dimension tools, thank you for that. Would it be possible to obtain a new tool for calculating the surface area in m², by selecting any closed shape?
3 votesThe team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.
If you are willing to discuss area calculation in a call session, block a time slot here: https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/c1b7ecea1cbd42a2a7068cfeb7861bdd@adobe.com/meetingtype/Fn8tXNebh0eyv4xTnvQ-3Q2?anonymous&ep=mlink

Do you think we could have Viewing options added as implemented in InDesign?

Embed as attachment a DXF version of the illustration in the Export as PDF option
Most often when designing files for logo or marquing tools we need to export a viewable PDF version and e CAD file as DXF.
In order to keep them synced, it's convenient to attach the DXF as an attachment in the PDF.Could it be possible to impement this workflow in Illustrator? either in the "Export PDF" option or via a script/action command?
Many Thanks

Need for Precise Axis Constraint for 3D objects when repositioning Graphics with Shift
When repositioning a graphic as a material, I can't constrain the position to x/y axis by holding shift, e.g., the graphic always gets off axis or rotates. Please provide more precise control over position of graphic

multi layer groups
I would love to group objects while keeping their layer allocation.
Groups should be layer independent to be more flexible than layers, which are uses to organise objects already.3 votes -
Tool to identify the size of each asset that is added to a document
sometimes I save a project file and it is HUGE... because some asset I added is also HUGE, but I didn't realize it...
I would like to see a feature where I could open a panel (maybe integrated into a LINKS panel?) and it shows each asset added and the size...that way I can make the decision to manually edit that asset to a smaller size so that my files aren't so huge

Make more improvements to Dimensions
Some add'l improvements that would be greatly appreciated:
• Higher precision settings. At least to 1/8" but 1/16" would be great as well.
• More formatting options for foot inch/ e.g. 7" instead of 0'-7"
• Dimension text centered with the dimensions line as option, with a break in the line to accommodate the text.
• Scale options (custom as well) in architectural format in addition to engineering format (e.g. 1/2" = 1'-0" in addition to 1:24)
• Options to show dimension text rotated 90° - separate options for vertical, vs horizontal dimensions.
• For "Line Type", give us all the standard stroke options.
• Add an option to dimension a center line - centerline line style - maybe as an option key when pulling the dimension to turn it on/off for one or both of the extension lines.Thank you for finally adding this as an alternative to expensive plugins! It is greatly appreciated!

Toggle Artwork Visibility Outside of Artboard
The function of the w key in InDesign switches between preview and normal view. Why doesn't Illustrator have this functionality? It would be so useful as I usually prefer to use Illustrator when I'm initially laying things out for a design project. I've seen multiple requests for this functionality in the forums. Please please please add this!
3 votesView > Trim View command does this. By default, it does not have a hotkey assigned to it, but you can map it to the one you prefer in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Issue exporting PDF larger than 227 inches - compression ppi not at 100%
When exporting a large document in PDF/X-4 2008 for example, and the compression is set to 100 ppi, the image gets exported at 10 dpi instead, and has to be set at 1,000 ppi for the pdf actually read as 100 ppi. ( this happens with any number not just 100 dpi)
This whoever doesn't happen when exporting as Tiff, just when saving as .PDF
I have attached 2 set of screenshots when exporting at 100 dpi and 1,000 dpi and getting the results I was explaining.

One Standard Between Adobe Application Tools
In PS I can use the several tool and click and holding Shift key and click on a point on the other end. This will either erase or paint a corresponding line at the other end.
Is this not a feature inside AI?
Appears in AI I have to hold the left mouse key and drag to get the eraser to draw a straight line..

For personal workspace and palette preferences carry over to updates.
I have a highly customized workspace for my workflow. It would be nice to cary over all of settings and preferences from the previous version. With the rapid release of beta versions, it becomes a big issue and I lose a lot of time resetting my environment to accommodate my existing workflow.
If this already exist, please tell me how to address it. Thanks!

Detailed Cloud Libraries history and version control
We need a way to see the edit history for items in a cloud library, including at a minimum when an asset was updated and who made the change... as well as the ability to restore a specific version.

Get rid of prompt window
i would love to be able to hide/get rid of that prompt window that says "generate, edit path, repeat, group, lock.." that pops up. its pretty annoying.
3 votesYou can disable this panel via Window > Contextual Task Bar menu command.
The current Beta 28.5.0.34 has a bug though, that enables it back after Ai is relaunched. If you are using normal build, it should just work.
