データ結合 アクションのバッチ処理の際の変数のデータセット開始位置指定について
アクションのバッチ処理を用いてデータ結合を行う際、
CSVの２行目からデータセット１，データセット２～と読み込まれますが、
行数が数百～数千行ある場合、例えば、「データセット100から200まで」など、
開始位置や行数、範囲を指定してバッチ処理することはできないでしょうか。現在は、CSVファイルを100行ずつ分割して複数作成し、都度、読込みなおすという作業をしていますが、
大変面倒で不便ですので、データセットの範囲を指定できるようにしていただけると助かります。
どうぞ宜しくお願いいたします。1 vote -
Placing a multi-page PDF
It would be great if we were able to place a multipage PDF instead of each link clicking through the finder window to the same file and going through the PDF pages one at a time again and again to place them in a document.

import DXF Blocks
In fashion Industry, one of the most common exchange file format is DXF-AAMA/ASTM.
If it is too complex to Illustrator to handle all the subtilities of this format, could it be possible at least to manage "Blocks" ?
Blocks are DXF entities which can be assimilate as "Groups" or "Symbols"
but in Ai Groups and Symbols may stay on a single layer.
In DXF Blocks, you may have multiple entities on multiple layers, but you need to keep them as a single object.
So I was wondering if Ai could generate for each Block a layer (with the name of…73 votes -
Make Increase / decrease font size hotkeys to respect chosen Font Height Options
Font Height Options are amazing.
It’s almost a perfect feature to my taste... but when I hit Font Size Step Up / Down or Point Size Up / Down (Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + ./, and Alt/Opt + Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + ./,) — Illustrator adds the chosen Size/Leading value (from Preferences > Type) to the Em Box size anyway, and not the x-height or the Cap height I chose to work with.So, say, with chosen step 0.5 mm and x-height 15 mm I get 15.267 mm instead of 15.5 mm as the next size up, or 16.335 mm instead…

Global Edit does not respect locked objects
When launching global edit an error messages appears warning that there are more than 1000 objects in the document. There are only 800 objects unlocked.
Locking objects used to work in order to work around the limit.

Make holding spacebar reposition a selection while resizing it, anytime, not only while it gets create
When using Illustrator on a Mac, I am able to create a shape, resize the shape and then simultaneously press space bar to move the shape around while resizing it.
However on Windows, this feature only works on the initial creation of the shape. Once it has been created spacebar no longer works to allow me to move the shape around whilst resizing.

Being able to export an object with a mesh tool as a obj design from Ai to use as a model in Adobe Dimension
I created a mesh design and illustrator as a plastic bag with wrinkles was not able to export as an OBJ file to use in adobe dimension. Now that Photoshop does not have full fledge 3-D tools., I am not sure if it’s possible to create an OBJ file that has mesh in it.
Thanks

New interface for Image Trace is too different
New Image Trace UI design is terrible. The old was perfectly fine. Designers rely on consistent tool set up so we can work FAST. Stop messing with my wor flow. If it Ain't broke, don't FIX

Isolation mode fading also in Outline mode
Since Outline mode can be (sometimes for me) get displayed with GPU, with antialiasing, I think dimming the art can also be done.
Sure, it should be an option (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31941823) and work with CPU too.

Give the ability to export extra Spot colors in .PSD files (also implement the Mixed Inks feature)
I think it's for Adobe to implement the ability to export files in .PSD and have those extra colors in separate channels (maybe in CMYK mode plus the extra spot colors translated to extra color channels).
If it works well with PDF files why not with Photoshop files?
It's a real pain to get a 5 colors file (CMYK + Pantone color) exported to Photoshop. PSD files have all the colors flattened for the exported mode option (RGB, CMYK).
Also, it's time to think very serious about implement the Mixed Inks from Indesign into Illustrator and in the end the…

Option to show only the actual missing fonts in missing fonts list
Please provide an option to show only the missing fonts in the top half of the missing fonts dialog box. If only the missing fonts were visible we wouldn't have to constantly scroll up and down the missing fonts list to find the yellow triangle.
Option only, because it is useful to see all the fonts that are used in a file...3 votes -
Make Global Edit work with guides
Guides in Illustrator are treated like objects. It does not suite everyone, and there is a request to make them a completely separate entity, like ones in InDesign, without them being able to get selected with 'normal' object, get grouped, etc.
Still, when a selection of a guide is made, it is expected for it to behave like a selection would do. We can transform them (rotate scale, flip, move), hide/lock individually... and it feels normal for a selected guide to be affected by the Global Edit feature.
However, it does not :(

Display command assigned hotkeys in Discover panel’s search results
When you search for a command in Discover panel, Illustrator gives you the results, but never actually tries to educate a user further with teaching him assigned keyboard shortcuts.

Created Intertwine zones are invisible both on canvas and in Layers and can’t be really edited and repositioned
When we try to edit an already created Intertwine object, we don’t edit it actually, it’s more like we create another one instead.
There is no way to fix a mistake rather than undo (if it’s an imminent one), or disassemble it completely (if it’s an old one), we can’t reposition zones, scale them, attach to the particular segment or point (like with the #ProjectMagenticType from 2022 MAX), we can't delete one or change the order of segments in an existing one.
We can’t even see which zones do we already have, even when we create them still for the…13 votes -
Allow to group a single Intertwine object
A way to workaround the bug with the self-expanding Intertwines on effect application (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45845533) would be to group them and apply an effect to this 'protection container'...
But alas, Ai won’t allow that, and grouping an Intertwine object does nothing.
I suspect Illustrator treats it as a group, onle a 'magic' one, and normal group restrictions, such as 'Thou shalt not group a single group' are applied to it.Why then we can’t ungroup an Intertwine... anyway, this one should not be applied, even if you fix the self-expanding.

A rectangular marquee in Intertwine edit mode can’t be repositioned with Spacebar held
When I draw a rectangle, I can hold Space bar to reposition it to a place I want. This would make defining zones in Intertwine Edit mode so much easier, but no, this is not possible — yet, I hope.
Also this is not possible when a new artboard is created which is also a miss: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45845635-hold-space-to-reposition-an-artboard-while-creatin

Hold Space to reposition an artboard while creating it
When I create a rectangle, I can hold Space bar to reposition it to a place I want. For some reason this is not possible when I create new artboards, which are also rectangles in a way.
Also this is not possible when I try to reposition a rectangular zone in Intertwine Edit mode, which I hope will be fixed soon too: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45845641-a-rectangular-marquee-in-intertwine-edit-mode-can

Lasso tool in Intertwine is not the actual Lasso tool and needs a separate cursor
This implies a user can use other tools to draw an intertwine zone, but switching tools just leads to ending the editing mode — which also does not get telegraphed well enough, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/45845602-make-intertwine-edit-mode-telegraphed-better.
While the action this pseudo-tool performs is more or less the same, the difference is murky. Either change the cursor or make the mode more clear.
