Live preview missing in many tools
In these 2 tools:
— Create Object Mosaic
— Transform Effect
I see a live preview toggle is missing.If the development team can add it, then it will make them more intuitive and smooth.
The Transform effect has Preview only, however a A LIVE PREVIEW would be better and faster.

Seed generator for random options
Random in Illustrator is NOT random.
Depending on the values I will always get the same result. Add an seed generator. Best would be to add an option go type in the seed manually, that way I can choose if a want the same randomness or a random randomness.1 vote -
Linked copies / instances
I need linked copies / instances - copies that follow the transformation of the original object (or vice versa).
A lot of times I do copy paths, groups or other objects in place, and just change the stroke width, apply an effect, or change the colour. Afterwards a change the size or position just slightly, AND THAN THE HASSLE STARTS. From there on I need to do the exact same change to the "original" path too. Too much work, too much time lost.Do you want to program that, or should I start a plugin.

Smart objects (opened from Photoshop) should have the same name as their Photoshop layer
I'm working on a complicated digital twinning pipeline which involves a lot of nested smart objects within Photoshop files.
Oftentimes these smart objects are merely white text and it's difficult to distinguish between them when several are open at the same time.
The problem is compounded because illustrator simply refers to each object that I open as "Vector smart object". Having several open at the same time quickly becomes difficult to manage. I believe, too, that Photoshop is sometimes unable to launch a particular smart object in illustrator because of a clashing "Vector smart object" 'file name' instance.
It would…

Smart Guide object edges (on mouse hover) should be easier to distinguish from actual selected object edge
With smart guides on, a selected object's edge outlines look the same as a rolled-over / mouse-over / hover-over object.
With complex art, it's often difficult to distinguish if you have an item selected or not. Bounding box handles help, but It would be better if there was some additional attribute related to the actual outline. Perhaps a lower tint of the same guide color?

Print current artboard
If my file has more than one artboard and I want to print the selected artboard, I have to press (shift + o) to see number of the artboard, then (Ctrl + P) then I have to write the number of the artboard I want to print.
This actually so boring especially if my file work requires to print a lot.
Please if you add an option to print dialog which is (print current artboard) that will help a lot.

When pasting into photoshop, masked objects should be defined by / constrain mask size. Objects / pixels outside the mask should be ignored.
When pasting a masked object from AI to Photoshop, the size of the object is determined by everything inside and outside of the mask. It should be determined by the size of the mask only. Photoshop interprets the clipboard size based on the entire object size rather than the masked size. The result is that the desired final cropped artwork is pasted pasted too small.
I believe this is a bug or design error. I am pretty sure much (much!) older versions of AI didnt do this.
I dont know of a scenario where the current action would be desirable.…3 votes -
