Pattern... don't expand effects (example transform & symbols)
The new repeat function remains editable in patterns!!! (this is great), but transform effects & symbols get expanded. Keeping these from not getting expanded/flattened would be great.

Content of Library assets do not show in Outline Mode
The content (paths, type, etc.) of Library assets do not shot in Outline Mode (CMD+Y).
This makes them difficult/impossible to work with precisely or in complicated artwork.

Make Smart Guides work with Library assets
Precise work with Library assets is difficult/impossible because it's treated differently by Smart Guides/snapping than normal artwork.
- Object Highlighting only shows a Library asset's edge/container, not its contents
- Anchor/Path Labels are not displayed on placed Library assets
- It's not possible to grab/move placed Library assets based on its content's paths or anchors, making it impossible to place precisely

Make Smart Guides work consistently with Symbols
Precise work with Symbols is difficult/impossible because it's treated differently by Smart Guides than normal artwork.
- Anchor/Path Labels are not displayed on Symbol-ized artwork
- It's not possible to grab Symbol-ized artwork by a path segment (only anchors) making precise alignment impossible

An option to display the background artwork when using Free Distort effect
As an example: Effects > Distort & Transform > Free Distort which has a dialogue box where you manipulate the effect but, the preview doesn't show the graphic within the context of your design (attached sample). Because some controls like Free Distort don't have a slider, or mathematical value we can assign, it's very challenging to manipulate the graphic with any contextual accuracy. For this particular effect, and others that have a similar user experience, if there was a live Preview, or a window showing it in context of it's area of the artboard, it would minimize the nudging/adjusting/clicking that…

Effect units bound to global units.
I am working with "mm" most of the time. However, when I use effects, I have to guess the right amount, since those are in "pixel" most of the time.
As an example, feather or blur, and many more.It would be nice if the units would change with the units used in the file.

Character and paragraph options should be deployed more easily in Properties and remain if desired
Hello,
I work in the printing house, and we make labels, our main software in this environment is Illustrator, it lacks a lot of things which are very useful in InDesign or Photoshop and winch cannot be found in Illustrator.
Among these missing I find that the property panel should be improved, for example as for InDesign, the character and paragraph options should be deployed more easily and remain if desired without having to deploy the menu each time you use it.
It also lacks the overprint object option.Sorry I am French and I have google translate translate.
Thank…

Option to place the origin of the artboard at the center of the artboard
I would like the option to place the origin of the artboard at the center of the artboard, so that objects can be placed at the center just by setting the position to zero please. This would also make it a lot easier to mirror object to other sides just by making their position negative or positive.
Thanks in advance,

Offset path feature won't become a sharp
Why if I have a curve that has several very small (sharp) angles, when I enter it in the offset path feature (+ offset), then the offset result can't be sharp anyway. but if (-) is offset, then can it turn sharp?
1 voteTo fix that, you have to increase the Miter limit value in this dialog. Read more about Miter limits here:

The article is about strokes, but the same principle applies to offsets.

More smoothing with Pencil tool, like it used to do
I want ex pencil tool back.
Ex pencil tool was that retouching the line by pencil tools can make the line smooth. Now, even the setting is the most smooth, retouching can not make the line smooth...
It was really easy way to make the line smooth without pushing option button to use smoother.2 votes -
Set exact dimensions to one object in a group that affects the entire group.
Example: I have 3 squares. 2 large ones and one small one overlapping the two. (see picture)
The task is to set the small red square to exactly 140 x 140 mm without losing the proportions in size or position to the blue or green box.
I want an exact scale up where the end result is that the red square is 140 mm x 140 mm.
I can use rulers, but the small square doesn't snap since it isn't touching the bounding box. Using this I can eyeball it and get a result like 140.062 x 140.062 mm. I…3 votes
