1. Option to retract handles or leave in place when converting a curved anchor to a corner anchor

   When changing a curved anchor to a corner, the handles retract. Would be nice if the handles did not retract, or if there was an option to choose retract or leave the handles where there are.

2. Export selected only

   Would like to see an "EXPORT SELECTED ONLY" option, so that you can export just a selection of items from a file with many elements. Really a pain to have to copy the items I want to export, and paste them into a new file in order to export them.

   There is File > Export Selection command in Illustrator now, that adds a selection as an asset into Asset Export panel and opens Export for Screens dialog immediately.

   Illustrator today has a way to apply symmetry to a chosen art, with using Object > Repeat > Mirror command. It can be applied to a singular object or to a group.

6. Save As PDF and PDF Export

   Illustrator is long overdue for PDF export. Without PDF export saving a PDF from Illustrator is an arduous, multi-step process that must be repeated every time. There is also a dangerous trap in the process that can make the user’s file uneditable. Compare this to InDesign, which has PDF export and all changes are sticky.

   Illustrator
   1. File > Save a copy,
   2. Change format to PDF,
   3. Remove “ copy” from filename,
   4. Change directory,
   5. Click Save,
   6. Enter PDF options,
   7. Click Save.

   InDesign
   1. File > Export,
   2. Click Export.

   Because all options in InDesign are sticky every export after the first will repeat the Settings, including directory, filename, and PDF options (even custom options that don’t use a preset).

   The danger is a user might choose Save As (instead of Save a copy) to save a PDF then not realize the file they continue to edit is a PDF without Illustrator editing turned on. Any changes made would be saved to the PDF portion of the file, but there would be no fully editable Illustrator portion to keep their work. It is a dangerous trap that can lose work. It is a disgrace that this can happen in a program that’s over 30 years old.

   The solution is pushed into Global Availability build 28.6.

   PDF is now available as type in File > Export > Export As dialog.

   
   

   However, File > Adobe PDF Presets menu, similar to one InDesign has, to allow even quicker export, is absent still.

   If you want to have it, please upvote this new request here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48670088

7. Mapping artwork on 3d object surface

   Now we need every time to convert /or update/ artwork into symbol before mapping in on the surface of 3D objects that are created with 3d effects. That process is annoying and complex. Simplifying of that can help profs and beginners to use it quickly and pass some steps.

   Now many programs like Adobe Dimension CC, 3d paint allows to do that very easy and in real time.

   Also adding some new feature like uv maps or tiling 3d effects can be very helpful.

   Modern 3D and Materials allows to map symbols directly on a object on canvas, across its multiple surfaces. A user can move it, rotate, scale.

   The tech is not perfect still, and it won’t be supported for now Classic 3D effects, but is potent enough already to try.

11. Export Swatch Bounds in Pattern Maker for easier repeat sharing

    • In the Pattern Maker tool, there would be an option to export the swatch via art board or just export in general, within the swatch bounds indicated by the pattern maker tool.

    Solves problem of: Having to figure out mathematically how to make a displaced patterned swatch with the correct bounds on a separate art board via a bunch of math.

12. Replace or Delete Swatches should automatically re-color objects with new swatch

    I propose swatches have the function of applying new color to objects on the art board whenever a color needs to be replaced with a different color. Instead of simply deleting the current swatch, we should be prompted to "replace current color with new color?" then select the new color after adding it to the palette, then BAM! all the objects are automatically updated with the new color. (Example: art editor says that we will print only using 2 colors: black text with red headlines. I already have the art set using black and green. I could add the red swatch, then delete the green swatch and have all green headlines changed to red for me.)

14. AI CC 2018 SLOW!!

    I can't even begin to share my frustration with how SLOW the performance of the AI CC 2018. I've reset preferences, restarted, reinstalled...

    I'm running a 2017 Macbook Pro - everything should be running just fine but I see others are having similar issues with the speed. Must be a bug and needs to be addressed!!

15. Could you please add similar artboard settings or features like Photoshop?

    I generally use Adobe illustrator for App design and find it annoying on how illustrator artboards are too close together. Could you guys add the artboard settings from Photoshop into to illustrator? I just like the spacing and the naming system defined by Photoshop. It allows for a nicer looking work space.

16. New Tool Idea: "Drag Draw"

    I've developed a novel way of drawing vector shapes using a delayed "drag point" method which at first seems counter-intuitive, but is actually closer to the way people draw with pens and brushes, because the drawing point is distanced from the moving point by a controlled amount (as if drawing with a chain), smoothing out the resulting line. My working demo was built in Javascript and can be observed in the attached video, but would be much more powerful within Illustrator and Photoshop. The tool I created allows me to export SVGs and gives me the ability to create smooth organic shapes quickly. The tool also has a few "organic closure" options that finish off the closure of a shape smoothly or with a point, but various other programs are already capable of that.

    I'm discussing the licensing of this with Astute Graphics currently (I think it fits well into their suite of vector tools), but no agreement has been worked out yet. I didn't bother to patent this (if it's even patent-able) so I'm probably making a mistake by posting here where anyone can just steal the idea, but there it is. I'd be interested in knowing what artists think of this approach/style and whether it would be desirable within Illustrator as a new drawing tool. Your thoughts?

    The demo:

19. Shortcut to toggle visibility of a certain layer with guides or a template

    More often than not I use a Guide layer on top of my canvas on multiply, to see the guides and what I'm doing at the same time. With a shortcut there would be no need to open the Layers panel and click the visibility button to preview what I'm doing. There could be a special type of layer that could be hidden on export and have this feature or the shortcut could ask to specify the layer to hide/make visible.

20. Allow to snap gradient sliders to integer values

    I'm huge fan of snapping.
    I snap tabs to units, I snap to grid, I snap almost everything — this allow me to narrow my design workflow and keep artwork organized.
    Not everyone does need this, but I do.

    I suffer from absence of snapping for gradient sliders.
    I wish I can move one and make it snap at 40, by eye, and not 40.73 and then correct this value by hand.
    Please, make an option to snap sliders to integer values.
