2. Would like to be able to entries in the Appearance Panel and perform Pathfinder functions to them

   Example: Select 2 strokes in the appearance panel, one transformed some distance from the other, and apply the pathfinder Unite function (Fx) and have them become functionally one entry on one layer of the selected object. This could eliminate some what are sometimes complicated procedures when outputting files to various RIP/machines/printers.

   You can group objects first and then apply an additional stroke to this group using the Appearance panel

3. 100% size is actually actual size

   Allow Illustrator to be monitor-aware. Have a feature where there is an onscreen ruler, and ask the user to hold up a real ruler to the screen. Let them drag a slider until the onscreen ruler perfectly matches the physical ruler. Then let this % value become the new "100% size" for that machine. Currently to see my artwork at 100% size, I need to set my view to 192%. I wish there was a setting to set my "100%" to default to 192%.

   In CC 2019 (latest update 23.0.1), at 100% Zoom 1inch artwork would display at 1inch in physical (Print) size, on any display. If this doesn’t work right for screen design workflows, please use the checkbox Preferences > General > Display Print Size at 100% Zoom, to turn off the feature. Currently this feature works only on primary display, and there are plans of extending this to other attached displays.

4. Constrain angle setting doesn't work untuitively, and is rather useless

   Right now, when the Constrain Angle setting is at its default value of 0°, you can hold down the Shift key to move an object along the 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, (etc) axes. This is fine.

   But if you change the constrain angle to something else, say 30° (as someone making isometric illustrations would be likely to do), then the set of constrain angles changes to 30°, 75°, 120°, 165°, etc. This is not useful. It would make much more sense for the set of constrain angles for a setting of 30° to be 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, etc.

   Similarly, the set of constrain angles for a setting of 50° should be 0°, 50°, 100°, 150°, etc.

6. Zoom Tool Controls (Fit to Screen)

   Can we make the Zoom Tool have the same Control settings as the Zoom Tool in Photoshop? I design in Large Scale Canvas Files. I like to design Art for Shirt Prints/Broadcasting Graphics for Entertainment Usage/Graphics for Sports Teams.

   This means a lot of Re-Scaling Images after put into the documents. When I Re-Scale the images and go to position them. I need to Zoom In onto the destination of the image's positioning.
   After I position that image. I can go back to Full-Size Image. But, I have to go to my Magnifier % at the bottom of my program to adjust the scale of the image in my work space?
   Why can't I just have the Zoom Tool active and do "Right Click > Fit To Screen" like I can in Photoshop?
   If there was a way to bring the Zoom Tool Settings from Photoshop over to Illustrator. This will make for easier navigation in the work flow of your projects.

   Indeed, Illustrator does not have 'Fit to Screen' option in the context menu for the Zoom tool.

   But it provides other ways to do that:

   View > Fit Artboard in Window (Cmd/Ctrl + 0)

   View > Fit All in Window (Opt/Alt + Cmd/Ctrl + 0)

7. Import later versions of dwg

   I would love to see an update so that you can import later versions of dwg files than AutoCad 2007. Most of our clients are working in later versions so it has become a big problem for us not being able to import these files into Illustrator.

8. Align between guides option

   The option to align between the two closest guides would help greatly when working on a multi-column document. Currently the only way to align to a single section of an artboard is to draw a box and align to that. Aligning to guides would streamline that quite a bit

9. Disable Snap to Path

   Can someone please explain to me why you can turn off "snap to grid", "snap to pixel", and "snap to point" off, but you can't turn "snap to path" off. It used to be you could just easily turn off "snap", which would turn all forms of snap off. Now, when I'm trying to adjust points on a path, the anchor handles still snap to path. The only way to get it to not snap to path is to zoom very close in. This is problematic when you can't see your entire curve, because you're zoomed in, and you can't adjust your curve, when zoomed out, because it keeps snapping to itself.

10. Respect 'Decimal Places' setting in CSS values exported to SVG

    The "Decimal Places" setting in the SVG Options (export) dialog is not respected in style elements.

    Steps to repro:
    New Document
    Create a rectangle with Stroke 3.1459
    Create a new graphic style from the rectangle.
    Save As... Choose SVG
    In SVG Options, set Decimal Places:1 and CSS Properties as Style Elements
    Examine SVG Code
    Look at the 'stroke-width' value in the stylesheet.
    Expected behavior: Stroke width should have 1 decimal only
    Actual behavior: Stroke width is 3.1459.

11. Line snapping to existing line overlapping it

    Currently you can snap an anchor point onto a path or other anchor point. I would like to move a straight path/line, or rotate it, and have it snap onto an existing straight paths angle...right now I’m going into Ctrl+Y view to try and align the two lines but its tedious especially when doing this a lot in my design work...

14. Tools to edit paths to make straight lines, sharp corners, and smooth curves for faster vector trace clean up

    Attached are three tool examples I would like implemented into Illustrator to speed up the process of cleaning up vector paths. A lot of times when you do a vector trace the corners of text or objects will not have a sharp point or areas with straight lines will become jagged or distorted. To clean these areas up requires a lot of single clicks on points and anchor points to get the right result. Implementing these types of tools into illustrator will allow for these changes in as little as three clicks vastly speeding up the process. On top of that being able to see the changes and adjust them before they are applied will also help in making it easier and faster to get the line, corner or curve you want. I hope this is something that can be implemented into Illustrator as it would be beneficial for anyone working with vectors.

16. Option for drag select to ignore center points of objects

    When selecting multiple shapes on top of a large shape, it's difficult to avoid the center point of the background shape. The current workaround is to constantly lock and unlock shapes, or shift click on different objects several times. Drag selection would be easy if it only detected the edges of shapes.

17. Allow Custom Brick Offset Values in Pattern Maker

    The 9 fractions included in Brick Offset are not always enough to align patterns properly. When bricking a pattern, to achieve the acquired random look of a pattern, paths may need to be repeated just so it evenly fits within one of the fraction presets. The fractions are sometimes only off by a slight degree, that would be perfectly symmetrical if one were allowed the ability to adjust their own decimal chosen. Part of the confusion may also stem from complex patterns where they are difficult to update, as well as sorted fractions where Illustrator otherwise uses decimals. By size order they would be 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5 currently organized in the following order 6th, 1st, 2nd, 7th, 3rd, 8th, 4th, 5th, 9th. Perhaps fractions are more to show how the item would display and should be represented by a graphic, but where trying to slightly increment or decrement an offset, there is some math to be done since these are not sorted in sequential order either.

18. Print option to select which artboard(s) to rotate

    I have an illustrator file open with 2 artboards in it. I am trying to print them both on 1 page (double sided). I can do that, however, I am having problems with one side of the page being upside down. Is there a way to fix this; other than manually flipping one of the artboards 180 degrees prior to printing?

    My thought would be to have a feature in Illustrator (& other Adobe programs) in the print dialog box under the orientation section. Utilizing the auto-rotate checkbox, if you uncheck it you could have an option to select which artboard(s) to rotate (currently all artboards are rotated at the same time)? I know we can select certain artboards to print, so would it be possible to add this in where we could select which artboard(s) to rotate? I understand that 1) this is easy to ask, but harder to implement & 2) you might feel like the issue is a printer issue, but I feel like it could be solved in Illustrator & I have not found anything in my printer settings that can fix this problem either.

19. Drag & Drop Appearance

    Hi,

    Currently, moving individual "Appearance" between objects is a difficult route:
    1. Select the object. Deselect the object.
    2. Display the "Appearance" palette
    3. Delete unnecessary "Appearance"
    4. create a style. with the right Apperance
    5. Select the object.
    6. ALT + Click on the style to add a new Appearance to the existing Appearance of the object.

    Whew ....

    Can you not create the ability to drag the Appearance?

    It would be great and so much more time during work.

    Best Regards

20. Better Smart Guides

    Can you guys PLEASE make 'Smart Guides' better? For example, I work with product UI/Graphics and I'm always having to zoom in 1400% to clearly align and place objects on top of other objects, but the snapping is NOT GOOD AT ALL... Can you guys make things snap to each other like other programs are able to do so like CAD programs etc...
