  1. Bleed 5 mm

    Buenas tardes, mi sugerencia es que por default al guardar un pdf el illustrator y el indesign, venga con 5 mm de sangrado en lugar de 0 (cero). Trabajo en preimpresión y el error mas común de los clientes es que envian los pdfs sin sangrado lo cual implica tener que volver a editar el archivo cuando se podria evitar si por default el bleed vendria activado en 5 mm

  2. Introduce an option for for 3D and Materials to extrude only forward or backward instead of both ways at once

    The extrude effect seems to be extruding along the Z axis in both directions simultaneously. Maybe there should be an option to fix the front face and extrude it backwards (or fix it as a back face and extrude it forward) so that it would be possible to match the same isometric view as the original flat vector in a graphic style.

  3. Easily resize pattern

    Would love to be able to easily resize the patterns within forms.

    Right now I have to resize the object using the option "adapt the pattern" while doing the modifcation, and resize it back without the option.
    Or make a new, big pattern within the pattern swatch.

    What would be useful is not having to leave your illustration or change the shape you would like to change the pattern that is applied to.
    Maybe having a preview of your illustration with the changes you make on the pattern tab/window.

  4. Unembedding Multiple Images keep only one of them selected on canvas

    Since 27.8 we can unembed several images at once, if we check 'Unembed all selected images to this folder' option in Unembed dialog (requested here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/20608015).

    But if I do this, I get only ONE of them selected after the unembedding process is finished. I am seeing the last one gets selected briefly and then the first one, and stays like this. Why not all previously selected?

  5. Live preview missing in many tools

    In these 2 tools:
    — Create Object Mosaic
    — Transform Effect
    I see a live preview toggle is missing.

    If the development team can add it, then it will make them more intuitive and smooth.

    The Transform effect has Preview only, however a A LIVE PREVIEW would be better and faster.

  11. 当拖入(粘贴)到illustrator的图片或对象大于默认画布尺寸

    当拖入或粘贴到illustrator的图片或对象大于默认画布尺寸时,应该以大尺寸画布显示,而不是现在的超出画布显示,当超出画布显示时,接下来的很多操作都无法完成;
    另外,还有一种情况,当导入PDF文件时,PDF尺寸大、页数多,也会提示“超出画布”,无法完成导入。

    Extent the options in Magic Wand selection with the list below.
    And it would be real magic if you can add the function replace to the wand.

    • Text
    • Symbols (all or by name)
    • Squares / rectangles
    • Circles / arcs
    • Groups

  16. GUIDELINES

    Full transform options for GUIDELINES. I want infinite DIAGONALS!
    Please and thank you! xoxo

    TL;DR
    We all know math is the basis of all good design work. (Critical for branding) I can't count the number of times I've messed up manual diagonal spacing. It's a sticking point for me, especially when working on deadline.

    Being able to set up a template of guidelines (in the same way that "workspaces" functions) could be beneficial for different types of jobs.

    Other things that would be nice:
    -Golden Ratio guideline (also Branding essential)
    -Colour of guidelines matching layer colour (much more helpful than…

  18. 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!

  19. 白色底的文档导出缺少边界 / A way to export an image with canvas color visible when Use Artboard option is disabled

    当画板为白色底时,右键“导出所选项目”,导出的文件没有边界,无法分辨单个项目。
    目前的解决方法是在画板上添加一个有描边的矩形,但是当有多个画板时这个方法会比较麻烦。另外一种方法是每个画板单独导出一张图片,再整合到一个文档里,这样也会增加很多工作量。希望团队能有更好的方案。
    使用场景举例:当给客户提案或预览整体效果时,需要将多个画板同时导出到一个文件(png或jpg),这时如果画板底色为白色,就无法分辨边界。
