1. Save the .ai file and only after finishing the .pdf

   As done in CC 2019, I can save the .ai and only after finish it I can save a .pdf
   Now with AI 24.2.2 I save the .ai and immediatly the .pdf but the .ai file is not saved. So the .ai and .pdf are not the same. This can cause a lot of problem becasue is I start work to AI file I'm not in last version and if I start on .pdf in low resolution I lose some elements, and reduce the quality to raster.
   Please, do as CC 2019 that Illustrator block user before .pdf save.
   I hope I have been of help and that my request will be taken care of.

2. go back to the old zoom

   The old zoom was faster and more efficient. Re-Centering with command + REALLY slows me down. And the Magnifying tool is not accurate. I need to zoom in on something very specific and the new style is just sloppy. It's zoom, re-position, zoom, re-position, etc. The old command + just zoomed at what you were currently looking at and the tool allowed a box to be made and a room that specific box. This feels like I am drawing with crayons after using a 0.5 pencil lead for years. This new style is a downgrade, sorry.

   Looks like below someone had the SAME idea and you said it was back. It's not. Neither I, nor the chat specialist could find such a restore to the old zoom style.

   If you want to have the previous (marquee) zoom method, you can disable the Animated Zoom option in Preferences > Performance. It’s not obvious though.

3. Global colour groups from Recolor Artwork dialog box

   Am requesting that the Adobe Illustrator team should introduce an option to output colour groups as Global or non-global colour swatches when creating / editing / saving colour groups in Recolor Artwork dialog box.

   Am requesting this addition because I mostly favour using Global colours over non-global as this speeds up my work when I am doing colour edits. It becomes so frustrating when editing an existing colour group made up of Global colours using the Recolor Artwork dialog box as the colour groups generated from it only output as non-global.

4. I have hundreds of ideas, I have been working with Illustrator every day since version 1 but you never implement my ideas

   I have hundreds of ideas, I have been working with Illustrator every day since version 1, like 10 hours on most days but you never implement my ideas.

   Here are three more.

   Include an option to render lines around the artboards or not, currently I have to go over my complete layout and trace every artboard becouse they don't render and leave my artwork borderless.

   When I save for web but hit enter to soon a dialogue box opens up under the web preview and I am unable to close the window without force the program to restart.

   Often when I am coloring shapes it wants to connect to other lines. I would like a feature where you could toggle connect to other paths on or off. (now that I think about it, there might be something for this already, I just can't find it.)

   Every time I put jpgs into my illustrator file I have to select each one and choose embed or else I lose the artwork when I send or reopen, If I could choose always embed that would save me a TON of time and hassle.

   There are more but I feel like I am shouting into a void of no return here...

   Oh well.

5. the arc effect should be applied to the clipping mask not the original object

   When working with a large image that has a clipping mask, and then an arc effect is apply to the clipping mask, the effect is recognizing the large image, and it takes the dimensions of the large image to create the result. instead of focusing on the mask only.

6. Import AI smart objects as vectors

   If you have a smart object that is a vector (say an .ai file) for use in Photoshop, if you later export the PSD file back to AI, all the smart objects get rasterized including vector smart objects. It would be better if they are converted back to vector (except maybe in situations where they have effects or masks).

7. Simple navigation in the structure of objects.

   Simple navigation in the structure of objects.

   Finishing the code of this great idea would be an exit to a new quality of work and management of objects during creation.

   1. Add a drop-down list to each column in this bar. For example, clicking on layers causes the layer tree to be highlighted in the document stack.
   2. Editing object / layer / group name from this level.
   3. Layer menu in this bar.
   4. Clicking on the first left arrow "Leaving group" simulation of the ESC key operation at this level of work with the object.

   Best Regards!

8. Align to Artboard is set as default

   Align to Artboard is automatically set to default, even after changing the toggle to Align to Selection.

   It used to work that whichever you selected, that selection would remain. But now, it always switches back to Align to Artboard. Very frustrating.

11. Menu View - New View - Rotate View

    Hi,

    If the option of rotating Artboard is too difficult in Illustrator, maybe it is easier to create "rotated views"?

    When working with packaging, the inability to rotate the view of the packaging walls while working in one document is really a prehistory of creative work. In a professional program, this must be resolved by the Adobe Customer Support Team.

    Thank you everyone for the current effort.
    Best Regards

12. Larger preview images in .ai files

    When an .ai file is saved, an image of all the active artboards is saved in the file. The OS (Mac or PC) uses this to provide a PREVIEW of the contents of the .ai file.

    (a) This preview is terribly small, and displays as a small thumbnail instead of a useful image of the file contents. It appears to be a tiny bitmap, but it's so small it doesn't do much good at revealing what's in the file.

    (b) The preview also displays everything visible on the pasteboard, including graphics that is not on any artboard. Since the preview image is a fixed size (tiny bitmap?) This often results in the contents of the active artboard being so small that it's barely recognizable.

    Please allow us to specify (like InDesign) the size of the preview. Better yet, build an SVG for previewing JUST the active artboard at the time the file is saved.

    It is very important for users to be able to preview the content of an .ai file before loading AI itself and actually opening the file. The preview exposed to the OS should be large and (optionally) contain just the last active artboard.

    Thanks,

    Allen

15. Can we have master artboards for Illustrator, the way we do for In Design??

    I do so much illustration on my projects that it's not practical to use In Design for layout, so I use Illustrator for everything and it's almost perfect. The one thing I find I'm consistently missing is the ability to assign templates to certain artboards (like a master artboard.) I can't use "paste to all artboards" for this, because often I am doing book format with A/B. Sometimes, I'm doing student/teacher guides where the looks need to be differentiated.

    Can we get the ability to assign some artboards to another so that they can update dynamically if we change them during workflow? I think this would be a real game-changer :D

17. Properties panel displays useless duplicate options when More Options is clicked

    In properties palette, when an object is selected, click on the ... on the right side of the first section AKA More OPTIONS displays the exact same thing that is already in the top section WITH the addition of the Scale corners and strokes, etc. What is the world is that for? Why not just have the OPTIONS to be the scale part and like the NORMAL palettes "More Options" they could be available all the time or collapsed.

18. Button to reveal a Layer on "Layer window"

    Is there a possibility to create a right-clic option to "reveal on Layer window" from any object? Sometimes when I receive some .ai files, everything is un-organized and must travel over layers and layers... This option is in After Effects and is very helpful.

    You can do this now with the Locate Object button in the bottom of the Layers panel.

    However, this is not an automatic thing. If you wish to have an option for it to be automatic, vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/39104935-automatic-locate-object

19. Align to...BUTTON

    In a past version of AI, the "align to artboard or selection" was a button rather than a menu. Please bring back the button! I switch between these two options hundreds of times a week and the menu wastes time that adds up.
