  1. Enable the ablility to keep swatch catagories in my tool panel.

    I would love to keep tool swatches in my tool panel. I do have the ability to take one and put it off to the side among my tools, but when I restart Illustrator the tab is gone leaving me to conclude this is not a supported feature. I use one particular swatch category a lot and this would save me time.

  2. Guides menu box

    I use guides on all projects, I open a new artboard, hit cmd+r for the rulers to appear and then draw a square that I want my margins to be, hit align left/top pull a guide line down for horizontal and vertical then align to right/bottom an do the same, this gives me my margins... can we get a popup window that just lets us type in values, like the bleeds but for margins, plus central horizontal and vertical guides tick boxes and columns/row margins etc. Would be great to save these as presets, so I can open a doc,…

  3. Make color choosing UI consistent

    I never like it when the big color chooser with the square color gradient and numeric fields pop up.
    Why does it exist?
    Would like to have a user preference to choose the color picker in stead of having Illustrator to popup with several different color mixers.

    When double clicking the stroke or fill color, the big unusefull (imho) thing pops up, when clicking a swatch, a compact mixer pops up.

    For me, it would be nice to construct my own combination of color mixers: RGB and HSB in 1 view, with sliders, without the big picking gradient, without cmyk,…

  4. 안녕하세요 가장 최신버전에서, 인디자인 관리자실행해야 정상 기능이 작동하는 점이 개선해주세요 일러스트에서, 가장 최신버전에서, 세로방향쓰기 할 때, 한글과 영문 둘다 왼쪽에서 오른쪽 방향으로 쓰이게 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

    안녕하세요

    가장 최신버전에서, 인디자인 관리자실행해야 정상 기능이 작동하는 점이 개선해주세요

    일러스트에서, 가장 최신버전에서, 세로방향쓰기 할 때, 한글과 영문 둘다 왼쪽에서 오른쪽 방향으로 쓰이게 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

    인디자인 관리자실행안하고 실행하게되면 일부도구툴과 위에 윈도우 창들의 기능들이 일부 활성화가 안되는 현상이 발생합니다.

  5. Scrollable tabs

    I would like if the Ai interface was less "cluttered" and "manual" to use.

    Specifically, as in the case of having many tabs open than they fit in the viewport, I have to click on the double chevrons (>>) to only be able to open one file at a time. Rather, would you guys consider making it scrollable?

  6. Allow to show simple fractions instead of decimal fractions when possible in input fields

    (↑Francais↑ / ↓English↓)

    Ajouté les mesures en Fraction

    Dans la case "Propriétés", dans la section L: & H: , ajouté les mesures en Fraction et permetre de convertir les décimal en Fraction, les Fractions sont par example .: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc...

    Pouvoir écrire manuellement comme indiqué .: 1/4 qui convertie automatiquement en messure décimal .: 0.25in (Pouce) ainsi de suite.

    Dans les montages graphiques, sa serais beaucoup plus pratique d'utiliser les mesures Fraction que de chercher les mesure en décimal qui est difficile à certain moment.

    C'est un outils et messure très essentiel dans la zone Américain/Canadienne…

  7. Add a Save Preset button into the legacy File New dialog

    Illustrator recently added a button to save the current New Document settings as a preset: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35253820
    Please add a similar one into the legacy dialog too.

  9. Make the font selection panel less intrusive by making it editable and moveable

    The font selection panel currently takes up a large portion of the center screen, making it difficult to see the font changes on a large scale. It would be nice if the panel could be editable and moveable, like other panels on Illustrator. Also, it could be positioned on the right side of the screen by default and made slightly transparent, to see through.

  10. Eyedropper tool to be added to Contextual Task Bar for any object

    Eyedropper tool to be added to each object’s bottom tool bar. Why? So that you can sample a color from a picture or other object quickly.

  12. Remove the requirement for an application frame for multiple monitors

    I don't use the application frame, as it is less productive. Please remove the requirement to use an application frame for multiple monitors. There is NO technical reason why I can't simply drag a document from one monitor to another.

  15. Add "Layer" to the application menu like File, Edit, Object... like Photoshop has.

    Add "Layer" to the application menu like File, Edit, Object, Type, Select, Effect, View, Help.

    Like Photoshop has.

    Explanation: Reading through the menu items is much more intuitive when learning about the application capabilities in regards to many features. Going from Photoshop to Illustrator, there are many similarities however the unique separations of the features such as accessing and interacting with the layers is one of the main inhibitors during my orientation to using illustrator to the degree to which I use photoshop.

  17. Menu Item Move Between Creative Cloud Apps

    Suggest adding a menu selected item to navigate between CC apps. When working in AI and need to move image to PS there is no shortcut for this. Moving between Plugins is way easer. May be include a menu selected or button to quickly move the image.

  18. Overwriting Existing Workspaces and Toolbars

    If I wanted to update my custom Workspace, I can create a new Workspace and give it the same name as before. When I do that, I am warned that the name already exists, and that clicking 'OK' will overwrite the old one. This is great. But if I try the same process for updating a custom Toolbar, it makes me choose another name. Then I have to remember where these files are stored in the Finder, go to that location, delete the old Toolbar, and rename the new one. Please make the process for updating an existing Toolbar as…

  20. Changing 'Screen Mode' forgets where the window was located

    In Photoshop you can use the F key to cycle through screen modes: Standard, Full Screen + Menu Bar, and Full Screen. This works as intended.

    In Illustrator however, when you cycle through screen modes it will forget where your window was previously positioned. Instead, it defaults to taking up the entire screen. This is a bug.
