Carry decimals in the Artboard Size to ten thousandths
Carry decimals in the Artboard Size to ten thousandths so it matches the Transform palette. Right now you can only view the accurate Artboard size in the Document Info palette.

Fix Black Overprints
Fix the appearance of black overprint so that other colors are visible under solid black when overprint preview is on (unless I'm missing something, this used to work in older versions).

When outlining dotted lines with "aligns dashes", unnecessary anchor points are generated
When dotted lines with “Aligns dashes to corners and path ends, adjusting lengths to fit” are outlined , unnecessary anchor points are generated in the circles at both ends.
When performing detailed processing to create artwork, I sometimes outline dashed lines. So, unnecessary anchor points are an obstacle in such processing.
Although there are workarounds, I hope that users will get clean outline results without any ingenuity.Workaround:
(A)
1.Double-click anywhere in the stroke with Width tool to add a new width point.
2.Execute “Expand Appearance” , “Outline Strokes” or “Flatten Transparency”.(B)
1.Drawing strokes in accurately calculated length with…16 votes -
improve the 'this file is currently being saved' pop up window
The way this was implemented is stupid.
That pop up window you get when you try to close the window while it's still saving.Why doesn't it automatically go away when the file has finished saving, instead of being persistent for no reason.
Just make it work the same way as indesign with just a cancel button.

color swatch meta fields assignment feature
please add a few extra fields to give greater depth to the swatches
i noticed that you have nicely chosen names like history etc for the theme swatch libraries yet when i go to create a new swatch the panel does not give me the option to attach a meta descriptor tag cloud to the color swatch, think about how this feature works on full images in the bridge. how excellent this would be at the swatch level. we could search for swatches by meta tag, i could see a dedicated program for using a eye dropper tool and assigning…2 votes -
Find and Replace text across open files
Find and replace text across all open files, a timesaving function that's been part of InDesign for a long time.

Recent fonts button in character panel
We can disable the recents fonts list in the character panel by making the number of recent fonts 0 in preferences panel. While working it always changes if you need to see recents fonts or not. I suggest to put a "show recent fonts" button the top of the character panel, near the "show recently added", "show activated fonts" buttons. The name of button can be "Show recents fonts". It is that simple. And we again can define the number of recent fonts from preferences panel.

Allow color coded top layers
Please allow us to color code the top layer/s. For those whom have to work with 30 plus layers the tiny color slice indicator (which is just the color of the selected vector line, not the layer) is not enough. If I could color code the layers it would speed up my job significantly and our company. Thank you!

Align/distribute to angle
It would be so cool if you could align/distribute objects on an angle. Say for example I want to align objects to a 45 degree angle, instead of aligning to the highest/lowest point, or to the left or right.

Nodal Interface for Actions Creation
Similar to 3DCC software and video compositing software, I would like to see a nodal interface where we could add different menu items and specific actions into a tree and have them end in an output node, allowing reuse of specific actions and menu items within the tree in a single action.
I'd also recommend there to be a way to group some of the nodes and be reusable/ able to add them into other action node trees as subgroups. That way some very complicated actions could be recycled instead of always being recreated from scratch.
I have been making…

basic grammar in alerts please.
"close anyways" ? “anyway” is an adverb and it is impossible for adverbs to be plural.

Improve resolution of dock panels so they're the same as other Adobe apps
The resolution of the dock panels (Layers, Art boards, Character etc) are all a lot bigger than in other Adobe apps, please make these the same size as the other apps.
I have a second screen with all relevant dock panels opened. If they were the same resolution as PS/ID then more could fit on the screen.1 vote -
Just fix the grammer
The "document will be closed after the save is complete" popup has a button that says "close anyways." That's hillbilly, not English.

I think Adobe should purchase TypeStyler and incorporate it into Illustrator. It would be a fantastic addition
Adobe should purchase TypeStyler and incorporate it as a portion of Illustrator. It would be a fantastic addition. I use it all the time but the developer doesn't seem to keep it up to speed with Illustrator.

Z depth / 3D space for points on path.
I do medical illustration for suture techniques. I use a path with a stroke to illustrate the suture (like a string), which need to overlap and show depth. I add a drop shadow to the path, but it simply goes around the entirety of the path's stroke shape, and doesn't apply above segments of the path which should appear below the higher sections.
There needs to be a z-axis system where I can assign a z-depth to each point on a path, which allows the drop shadow effect to apply to the same path on depths below it.
