A way to lock colors to prevent them from changing in Recolor dialog
When recoloring art, it would be AWESOME to have a lock function next to the swatches. There is already a way to lock a swatch that you don't want to recolor, but it'd be nice if, as you cycle through the swatch/recolor options, you could lock or "freeze" ones you like and continue to recolor the unlocked swatches.

Add "Apply to all" to Embedded Profile Mismatch window
When opening a document that has lots of linked images in a different color space, having to press OK on every single prompt takes quite a long time.
My suggestion is to add an "Apply to all" checkbox to this window so I can instantly open the document. Attached is the windows I'm referencing.

Illustrator doesn't let me use 3D objects and it automatically closes every time I want to use that option
When I installed Illustrator files from the Adobe Materials website to use with 3D objects, it stopped working, when I try to select something and convert it to 3D, Illustrator automatically closes. I already reinstalled the program but it's still the same. How do I be able to use it again?

Move document tabs under cursor when closing documents
When closing multiple document tabs using the X button on the side of the tab, the next document will move under the cursor. However, the tab size changes based on window size, filename length, etc. A better way would be to resize tab length after the cursor is moved away. The result would be that if you close Tab 1, Tab 2 would slide over and the X button would appear under the cursor. Many tabs could be easily closed without moving the cursor.
An example of software that uses this UI is Safari on Mac. Chrome does it too,…

An option to hide the HEX field in Color or make it pop in RGB/HSB only
Starting version 27.6.1, we are given a permanent HEX field in Color panel, following these two request:

2. https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/37009090-show-hex-value-in-swatch-panelBut some users do not like seeing it all the time and would like to be able to disable it, or at least pop only for RGB and HSB only.
Please add this option into Color panel’s flyout menu.

Don’t drop the current character selection in text when I switch between documents
If you select a portion of a text in Illustrator and switch to a different app and back — the selection stays in place.
But if I switch between Illustrator documents/tabs — the selection gets lost. This makes editing of two or more documents at the same time very inconvenient, effectively loosing my data about the selection made.8 votes -
I want to control how many pop-ups I see.
I'm just trying to work, Adobe, but all the pop-ups are driving me mad! The tool tips are fine, but to be working away and be bombarded with this pop-up telling me to share my work and then another asking if I know how to do such-and-such.... I discover new features on my own whenever the app is updated, and if I want to find out anything else, I know how to do that. I don't need constant reminding. Please, please please, Adobe, please let this be a preference setting that can be turned off.

I would like to see the output of the subject created by the generated AI with each part layered by part.
I would like the subject created by the generated AI to be output with parts divided into layers by part (right eye) (left eye) (outline) (eyebrows), etc.
This is because I want the puppet to move immediately in Adobe Character Animatror.4 votes -
Change the scale of the document's rulers
As you've just done for the dimensioning of objects, I'd like to be able to change the scale at which I draw my document by right-clicking in the ruler. I work in technical illustration and draw images of very large machines (20 to 150 m). I have to use CorelDraw (which has always had this function) and copy them into Illustrator to rework them.

Add 'Apply to All' button for 'Embedded colour profile mismatch' dialog box (like the missing linked file dialog box)
Add 'Apply to All' button for 'Embedded colour profile mismatch' dialog box (like there is for the missing linked file dialog box). When opening files with lots of linked photos/images it is annoying to have to click through multiple pop-ups of this dialog. See screenshot.

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.

Allow to choose a reference point (pivot / origin) for live shapes
With a Line live shape we can set a length and an angle of the line, using Line Properties section in Transform panel (or Properties).
But there is no way to choose the position of the reference point, these apply always to the middle.
I want to be able to extend/contract or rotate a line from one of both ends.
Same applies to other live shapes, which gets transformed with the dedicated controls always from the center.

Export multiple artboards with 'Save for web'
It would be very useful and a huge time-saver to have the option to export multiple artboards with 'Save for web'. Currently you can only do 1 artboard at a time, and if you have a lot of artboards to export then it gets old real fast and takes up valuable time.
Auto-populating the file name would be amazing too. When you do a regular export, it exports the files with what you named each artboard. But when you do 'Save for Web', you have to enter the file name each time.

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…

External arrowheads for small dimensions
The current Beta version is showing the new Dimensions tool, but as you can see in my screen shot, where I am working actual size, for the small dimensions it would help if there was an option to have the arrows outside the lines going toward the inside of the dimension rather than the outside. Thus leaving the small gap empty and making it visually clearer.
