Add a Spot Colors channel to the Separations Preview window
Add a "Spot Colors" channel to the "Separation Preview" window. Like you have in Acrobat. See screenshot attached. This will make toggling through the spot colors a LOT more easier and efficient. Then having to turn on and off each spot color individually.

“Clipping path limit reached for TIFF preview" dialog.
Please add a checkbox with the "Do not show" option in the “Clipping path limit reached for TIFF preview" dialog. This comes up hourly in my company's workflow and the only option given is "Ok". Thank you.

Wider Vertical Ruler ?
Is it possible to get a wider vertical ruler? The numbers are awkward to read and slows you down.
Just wide enough for the numbers to read horizontally instead of from top to bottom.
It's just impossible to easily find individual measurements if they go to more than two digits.
This looks like there is an error in the UI.

Place function at scale
I use photoshop and illustrator in tandem and often place images in illustrator that exceed the max width (227"). It would be so helpful if there were a place option where you can select scale. For example, I would like to place a 250" wide image in illustrator at 25" wide, or tenth scale.

Snapping unexpectedly disabled when drawing to an Artboard edge
When using the rectangle tool or other drawing tools, you can snap to the edge of an artboard, but you cannot snap to grid lines that intersect with the artboard edge.
This makes things complicated if you are designing relative to the artboard all the time with Snap to Grid or Snap to Pixel enabled. I have to workaround it, snapping inside or outside the artboard edge first, then moving the point an exact increment to match where the artboard edge and grid line intersect.
Notice that in my screen recording, this happens even at the beginning when I first…

Repeating pattern random recolor art
The merger of Recolor Art and the idea of variations in the context of repeating patterns. The Recolor Art needs a slot like interface where the user can store several variations on a theme into 'alt slots' these could be accessed by the repeating pattern algorithm to generate a more diverse result. Perhaps with variations on size and rotation of the constituent elements.

Smart Object like in Photoshop
Smart object for illustrator will be a nice feature. Also it will be awesome if both photoshop and illustrator can work with smart object. Currently, photoshop can handle (automatically convert files to smart object when placed, imported, copied in photoshop) vector/raster objects copied from illustrator document. But for some reason, illustrator doesn't have that feature. Would love to see smart objects/group in illustrator.
Thank you Adobe.

Turn "Export for Screens..." into a processing powerhouse for screens and print alike
Why limit exporting to screens? Many graphic design workflows require assets for both screen and print. A user should be able to pick and choose (and save) all kinds of combinations of formats, dimensions, resolutions, and naming conventions for exporting.
PNGs, JPGs, EPSs (Please add), PDFs, TIFFs, GIFs, SVGs, etc.
This could be such a timesaver, and go a long way to help restore faith in Adobe CC.

Turn Off Typographers Quotes - Always Off & Stay Off - Forever Off
Hello I use Illustrator for about 85% of my work.
Primarily I'm doing UI Design and Planning Documents - this work is 100% online there is no print work.Typographers Quotes are a terrible thing for this workflow. The quotes are always messed up, it's always a ton of clicking to get rid of them and you have to do it a million times over every time you make a new document.
Also Typographers quotes means you can't rough out ideas around code in Illustrator because it a copy/paste mess.
The request is to have a setting as part of…

Trim view stops working when artboards are hidden
When you hide artboards, Trim View stops working. Some times I hide artboards because it removes the border created by the artboards. A borderless artboard is more true to what the final export/print will look like. But when I hide the artboards, the trim view is disabled. Please bring back trim view even though artboards are hidden!
Thanks.4 votes -
Trim paths
Like in After Effects the option to trim a line. When you have an extra line on an object, the one above can be trimmed. Ending with a line with two color ends.
No more stacking multiple lines and having to edit them all if the shape changes.4 votes -
Customize Preset Stroke Weight
Not sure if this is in the right category but I would like the ability to preset the stroke weight to something smaller (or bigger) than 1px. If I'm using the pen tool for multiple things I find that the stroke weight of 1px can be too heavy & I can't see what I'm outlining in the fine detail I require because the stroke is so big, so I was wondering if there was a way to set it in the preferences window so that every time I created a shape or path with the pen tool the stroke weight…

Show gridlines in outline view
If "Show Grid" is activated, in Outline View, the grid is mostly invisible. It only leaves very subtle dotted lines along the major grid lines, but the subdivision grid lines aren't visible.
It would be nice to see some faint lines of the subdivision grid lines in outline view so when I'm zooming in very close, those lines don't disappear.

Find and Replace text across open files
Find and replace text across all open files, a timesaving function that's been part of InDesign for a long time.

Agree, this is actually a bug that slipped through. We are fixing this is our next release, which is rolling out as we speak. Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Shortcut button for stroke width.
Why has there never been a shortcut for stroke width? For illustrators, this is a command done so often, that's it's a bit of a burden not having this as an option.
And I mean for strokes that are selected, after being drawn out already, not for the brush itself.

Integrate Photoshop brushes in Illustrator
It would be awesome if we could use Photoshop brushes in Illustrator. I spent at least an hour looking for a teardrop/raindrop brush for illustrator but couldn't find one.
