  1. Simple requests go unnoticed.

    There is a function in Illustraor that allows selection by whole or by path and it is called: Object selection by path only. It is in the prefs under selection tab. This SHOULD BE also in the top bar as VERY often I need to switch it when working on paths, especially in shadows work.

  2. Mini Map

    Hello Adobe Team. I really don't know why you don't implement a little MINIMAP into Adobe Illustrator that provides a little preview of the actual work and makes it possible to zoom in by clicking on it. Working with Illustrator would be much easier if I had a little map window where I could just click on a section of my artwork and zoom straight to that point. So I wouldn't have to zoom in and adjust again and again after zooming out. And I could always see the whole picture. Maybe it's nonsense or not possible but I think…

  3. Masking simple and fast objects - Quo Vadis My Pallete?

    Masking simple and fast objects - Quo Vadis My Pallete?
    Illustrator has several practical methods for masking objects. Bravo and thank you!

    But in practice...
    object masking is superimposed and confusing. I know what I write. I use Illustrator 20 years at work and iine applications.

    On the forum you can also find many problems or ideas to improve this section. Dear Adobe team, you can certainly improve it.

    Best Regards!

  5. Automatically move to input box when selecting a transform option

    This would improve workflow by allowing users to not have to click on the input box when transforming a layer. It actually used to be a feature but was removed for reasons I'm not aware of.

  10. CTRL + Spacebar = Zoom in and Out like Photoshop

    Not sure why this isn't the same between Photoshop and Illustrator but currently when you press CTRL + Spacebar in Illustrator you get a marquee tool to zoom into a specific location. This should match the zoom in and out function in Photoshop. Or, allow the user to change preferences to an easy check box to enable users to zoom in and out using CTRL + Spacebar like in Photoshop.

  11. Make it far easier to "transform each." Especially scale and rotate. Like how it works in PowerPoint.

    Make it far easier to "transform each." Especially scale and rotate. Like how it works in PowerPoint. Select multiple (ungrouped) objects. Scale or rotate one, they all scale or rotate.

  12. Increase MORE +++ the anchors points size. The actual option is not ENOUGH Is very difficult to work..

    The actual size options seems a joke, I work with 3ds max, and there you can select very easy the vectors points, in illustrator it is a Nightmare.

  13. Multiple Fills/Strokes in Properties Pallate

    It would be helpful if the "appearance" part of the properties panel would allow the addition of multiple fills and strokes like you can in the standalone appearance panel. I would like to use the properties panel more but cannot for this reason.

  14. Warn if Appearance Attributes are going to be lost (when ungrouping, etc.)

    Because there's a lot of people that don't know what's going on.

  15. Add "Sort Libraries" feature to the library palette

    Assets in Libraries can be sorted (e.g. "by date" or "by name") - but if you manage (and share) several libraries, they cannot be sorted.

    On the cloud web front end libraries CAN be sorted, but this sorting will not be updated in the application palettes.

    For clarity reasons, this feature should be included ASAP.

  16. Shorter toolbar size

    Hi, any chance of being able to have an option of a shorter version of the Tools palette. When I have it set to single column using a 15" MacBook this runs off the bottom of the screen. I know I could set it to double column but I like to have a maximum working area. Just a thought…

  17. Select multiple bulllets

    Used to be able to select multiple bullets by (I think it was) shift/opt/dragging on the multiple bullets. This isn't available int 22.1 version. Actually, it hasn't been for awhile. Can't understand ditching this. For drawing complex objects with multiple similar strokes (say for instance, the hairs on a dog) one can't "select same". Also difficult to select the whole layer, and then unselect. Please, please, please! Bring back this feature! WHY would you disable it anyhow???
