Apply colour mode to different artboards
It would be great to have a feature where we can change colour modes for different artboards. This is extremely helpful in today's digital world, where we are working on Brand Identity design that involves the use of logo and colour palette extensively in print and digital media. This will help keep one master file for an extensive brand identity work and makes it easy to compare between CMYK and RGB colours/designs.

CMYK Support for svgs - make use from the device-CMYK attribute
When opening an .svg File that got several device-cmyk Params set, i would love to choose (e.g. by popup) which colors i would like to use for the svg - the rgb colors set as a fill or the device-cmyk colors. It would make svgs printable
e.g. <circle fill="#CD853F device-cmyk(0.11, 0.48, 0.83, 0.00)"/>

In the new swatch creation panel, it would be perfect to already be able to check the overprint option for fills or outlines

The Ability to Compound by Color
Take an object or line of text that has been converted to outlines, put an offset path on it, make that new outline a different color than the original object. Now the requested feature would be the ability to drag select the entire object and offset path, then select "Compound By Color" and it will make all colors selected into their own compound path.

Seamless pattern creation
Once you have an illustration completed, you can double, triple, etc, the image you created as they automatically line up in columns once you decide to double (for a seamless pattern) the illustration, image, or 3D assets. Once you start to manually place the duplicated layer you pull the asset to one side of the art board. You want the pattern to have 1/4th of the image going off the art board. The 1/4th section that is going off of the art board (.let’s say on the right side for this example) automatically (almost magically) has the missing section hanging…

Colors: bring existing color to front
I ran into this so many times: I want to change an element with a colored fill, go to the color palette hit the new color and boom: I have an outline because I forgot to switch to fill. So I need to delete that outline, swap from outline to fill color and do what I initially wanted: Change the fill color. WHY does Illustrator not automatically bring the color to front that already exists on an element? If an element only has a fill, bring the fill to front upon selction. If an element only has an outline bring…

Colors: change line and area at one time
How about a shortcut for changing both line and area color at a time? Say I have a red square with a red contour and I want to change both to green I will have to change one thing first and then the other. Maybe a shortcut like alt or shift would help?

Index colour profile setting to create pixel art
Just how you have image mode settings in photoshop illustrator could really benefit from the feature of index image mode, allowing artists to create accurate pixel art. Lots of textile designers will also benefit from it.

Dynamic Swatch
It would be awesome to link colors used in multiple places to a parent color swatch. When wanting to change every instance of a specific hex value you could make the change once and have them all update (similar feature in InDesign, I believe?)

Nuance de ton direct
Il serait utile de pouvoir créer une nuance "ton direct" réunissant plusieurs tons direct en pouvant sélectionner le pourcentage de chaque nuance, pour éviter de faire une superposition d'objets en surimpression. Un peu de la même manière qu'avec le nuancier quadri, mais avec des tons directs : le même objet pourra attaquer plusieurs séparations avec une trame différente.
ex : 877 à 100% + Reflex blue à 5 %1 vote -

Indesigns colour theme tool.
Would love to see this implemented in Illustrator as I, like many others, like to import JPEGS or screen grabbed colour samples to take colours from it manually. It would be awesome to have a colour theme generated from those images that could work within Illustrator and then used across the adobe library. Also this might be something that could also allow you to select an artboard of choice and generate the top 5 colours of that illustration.

Recolour artwork which can recolour a symbol instance
Find myself using the recolour Artwork panel a lot these days - especially when iterating with logo colours. What would be brilliant is if we could click a symbol and recolour just that instance (without it affecting the master symbol) using the Recolour Artwork panel. Having to use the direct selection to select individual shapes tool is pretty tedious. I have found a workaround whereby you can unlink the symbol and then create another one and use the Replace Symbol feature - though this isn't great when you then need to adjust the shape as all instances aren't linked together.

Recolor Artwork Tool - Separate Colors by Groups
I'd love to be able to pull up the recolor artwork tool and separate all of the colors by grouped objects.
I want to pull the color scheme from one grouped set of shapes into another, but hate having to sort out which ones belong to each, especially when they are similar shades. (example: pulling the colors from a pineapple into an orange, and be able to sort by the colors in each fruit's grouped paths)

Changed color rounding
Since the update to Illustrator 24.1 the way color decimals are rounded has changed. So we can't update anymore.
We have lots of documents coming from RGB and must be translated into CMYK. After that we use a huge action to transform these colors. Because of the problem descriped before we have to stay on an old illustrator version to be able our workflow is running correctly.
We hoped that a newer version will solve the problem someday but nothing happend. Do we have to investigate days of work to update our workflow?

Allow pattern scale and position to be locked to objects...
I know that there is a setting when moving and scaling to apply the translations to patterns or not - but I'd like to be able to define that setting on an object-by-object basis.

ワークスペースに記憶されるスウォッチ
ワークスペースの機能をとても気に入っています。作業をしていてどんなにパネルをごちゃごちゃにしても、一発ですっきりと自分のお気に入りの環境に戻せるからです。
しかし、残念なことがひとつあります。
私は、よく使う色を、aiにまとめてスウォッチを作っています。
そのスウォッチを読み込んで、そのパネルを、ワークスペース内の他のパネルとくっつけて、私の理想的なワークスペースをいくつか作りました。それに名前をつけて保存しておきました。ところが、Illustratorを再起動すると、ワークスペースから自作のスウォッチのパネルだけが無くなってしまいます。他のパネルの配置や状態は変わらないのですが、自作のスウォッチの状態だけは記憶されていないようです。
ところが不思議なことに、新たにワークスペースを作って、Illustratorを終了するまでの間は、自作のスウォッチも含めて記憶されているように見受けられます。パネルの配置を変えてしまってから、「ウインドウ > ワークスペース」で保存したワークスペースのリセットを行うと、自作のスウォッチも含めて、元の状態に戻ります。
ああ、素晴らしい。快適だなあと思うのですが..
次にIllustratorを起動したときには自作のスォッチのパネルだけ忘れられているのです。とても惜しい。もうちょっとで完璧なのに!1 vote -
scale tool doesn't work in make pattern
The scale tool currently does not do anything within pattern mode. Maybe this worked in previous versions, but would like to see all tools working within pattern mode on future updates
