Export artboards from illustrator to a single, multi- artboard photoshop file
Export an illustrator file (with multiple artboards and layers) to photoshop (as a single, multi- artboard psd file).
Currently illustrator exports multiple, separate.psd files.
You then need to copy and paste from individual files into a multi- artboard .psd file.If the above idea is integrated, it would make bringing screen layouts into into xd for prototyping UIs much easier.

This feedback/bug reporting systems is super confusing.
This feedback/bug reporting systems is super confusing. I have given up on reporting bugs or providing feedback so many times, cause I land here and I can't manage.
I want to report a bug, it tells me to "post my idea". But I want to report a bug, not give an idea! I change sections to make sure I'm on the Bugs, still get "ideas" everywhere. If I try to give feedback I get "request feature", again, not what I want to do... That search box that changes to a form and back to a search box... If I want…1 voteA valid request.

Remove Single Handle from Within the Pen-Tool
If you want to REMOVE a handle by clicking, this can be achieved by using the Convert Anchor Point-Tool and Clicking on it.
Now, all other Pen-Tool Functions can be accessed by pushing modifier keys like Ctrl and Alt, except for this one. It requires you to change out of the tool.
I therefore suggest adding the functionality to the ALT-Mode of the Pen-Tool, which activates the Anchor Point-Tool, that if you click on a handle, this handle gets removed.
This does NOT conflict with the current function, which is to disconnect handles, since this require Click and Drag.

Edit overlapped objects
Some times when you use illustrator to edit PDF obtained from Cad programs, you get overlapped lines. It will be a good idea to have some filters to edit overlapped elements.

Add multiple fills to a CC Library at once.
I think it would be really nice if you could select multiple shapes and add their separate fills into a CC Library. Helpful when making color palettes and things.

Сreate a offset path preset
I typically use the same 2 offset path sizes .125 and .0625 there needs to be a way to save these presets so I dont need to manually type them each time.
2 votesThe intended way to do presets like this is to record an action, as per the comment.
Open Actions panel, create a new one, select a basic temporary shape, run Offset Path command, enter the value you need, commit, stop the action recording. Now you can run the action to automatically offset the selection.

Ability to Designate Target Folder for Scratch Disk
At the moment, the user can only specify a target drive which provides limited control. I have a specific 'cache' folder on one of my drives which I use for other programs and I'd like to be able to point Illustrator to this folder as well. If applications don't let the user designate a specific folder, you end up with dozens of cache folders springing up all over the place. In today's data heavy world, keeping things organised is more crucial than ever.

Sort content in links palette + User controlled preflight warnings
Added sorting ability in links palette would be very useful.
Allowing me to sort by file size, alpha, date placed, date altered. Similar to finder or windows explorer. Allowing me to rearrange the columns to suit my needs.A preflight indicator of any potential conflicts would be a nice add as well.
CMYK doc with an RGB image placed. Unused nodes swatches, does this doc contain any overprint items, that kind of thing. In a perfect world I could set in prefs what I want warnings for.2 votes -
Eyedropper Tool should pick colors from OpenType-SVG fonts
When picking a color from either color vector and bitmap OpenType-SVG fonts, the picked color is currently the default underlying text color (often black), not what is actually displayed on screen.

Eyedropper tool picks up and applies object size: height, width, or both.
I am constantly resizing vector objects to fit over clipped images, to make Spot UV objects, and it would be great if I could just eyedropper the image, rather than opening transform, copying, clicking the shape, pasting. Seems simple until you do it a lot. Adding this to eyedropper seems simpler.

Ability to switch how letters overlap
By default, when letters overlap, each following glyph is displayed above the previous one.
When using text effects or OpenType-SVG fonts, this can lead to disappointing results, like shadows on the wrong direction.
Would love to be able to toggle the order in which all glyphs of a specific text selection are rendered: above or below the previous one.
Could even use the extra space in the Character palette to include the feature button ;)

Guidelines for artboards and transformation options
You should be able to have a ruler for every artboard you work on (with an option to turn it on or off).
Also, artboard should have their own guidelines, that does not extend beyond bleeding area of the artboard. These guidelines should copy automatic to the new artboard when you copy the artboard with Option-Drag.
Also, when selectable, the Guideline should have the transform options in transform panel (a rotation and size would be an excellent option)2 votes -
Include warp envelope anchors and handles in preference setting
When using the warp tool and envelope distort, the anchors and handles are too small and difficult to target. I think it would make sense to have these obey the same preference as the general anchors and handles.

Arrange all artboards reference point
I don't understand which is the starting point of the arrange all artboards, I thought it was the 0 (zero) of the global rulers, but after the arrange all commands the top left artboard is not align with the rulers.
Is there any answer to this or is it a bug?

Selectable content in the Links Palette info
Selectable content in the Links Palette info pane. Currently, the only interactive line is the path link. This would be useful for example to have the ability to select and copy the percentage of scale so that I can place a second image at the same scale in a separate function.

Restore previous default Stroke alignment to center, or add a preference option for default alignment.
The default stroke alignment used to be centered in previous versions.

Retrieving an unsaved file
Enable an option to retrieve a file within a certain time period, that was closed but not saved. This would be useful when a file is closed in error. This happened to me and I lost a days work. Silly error but easily done as I had a swatch box obscuring the file tab and closed it by mistake. Unfortunately because I then tried to reopen the file, the snapshot in the data recovery file was the re opened unsaved version so I had lost all of the previous 4 hours work.
Therefore, if it was possible that AI could…6 votes
