1. Center Align Area Type

   The area type justification settings aren't working. If there is a text box with more than one line of text, it will not justify properly. There are no extra settings for the text boxes - ie. padding, and I tried making new area type text boxes as well.

2. Illustrator and Photoshop show fractional CMYK color values differently

   I have a CMYK document, and it has a linked image in it, with an intentionally chosen profile, with some specific colors set for the background, and these have to be the part of the background, because of blending modes used.
   Now I need to grab those colors form the clear parts of the background to quickly transfer them into vector part of the design. But when I try — Ai lies about values.

   Instead of
   70-15-0-0
   0-35-85-0
   0-95-20-0
   I get
   69.8-14.9-0-0
   0-34.9-85.1-0
   0-94.9-20-0

   Not much, right? Just 0.2%, why are you mad?
   But these would be enough to break Select Same Fill later, duplicate swatches if added next to existing ones in other documents, drop my trust level for the tool and force me cleaning this mess in the time I need I can’t spend. Sure, there are methods to help with this, but it’s not MY error. It’s Ai’s lie.

   ...later Ton Frederiks suggested it’s Photoshop that is rounding numbers.
   To quote: if the placed file gets rasterized, it gives the fractions in Illustrator. But if the file gets exported from Illustrator as .tif, Photoshop will show the same rounded numbers it started with. Photoshop will not allow fractions and force round numbers when we try to enter percentages like 69,8%. CMYK values go from 0-100 while image values have a range from 0-255.

   Indeed, I tried to rasterize a rectangle with fractions in CMYK color (55.69) and opened the image in Photoshop — and got integers, 56...
   But then I mix the very same color in Ps, making integers manually, fill half of the image with this new color and try to pick colors from this image in Ai: Ai still picks the original 55.69 from the original half of the image... and 56.08 from the half I flooded with Ps’s 56!
   And Ps SEES them as different color when Color Picker is used, displaying different Lab, RGB, HSB values, but CMYK stays the same, rounded.

   In my experiment below I did a similar thing: created these in Ai first (but no fractions), rasterized it, used to make a composition and placed back into Ai.
   Double conversion and forcing integers (visually) would explain it.

   So Ai is rather precise... but the irritation stays.
   Now the question would be — what to do with the uncomfortable truth? 'Fighting ignorance' is my favorite choice, but...

   I don’t have a clear solution to this — and I invite others to a discussion — but perhaps the Eyedropper can get an option to Emulate Photoshop Eyedropper (round CMYK values)?

3. Group multiple entities from multiple layers keeping layers

   When you Group a selection of entities from multiple layers all comes in a single layer.
   In many case it should be mandatory to group those elements in a new Group but keeping the layers or at least a new layer with the original layers as "sublayers" so you can still filter objects by layer, and select all at one by selecting master layer.

4. Select with Pencil tool

   I would like to use the Pencil tool as a lasso selection. So instead of drawing the selection you can create a shape of lines and when the loop is closed everything inside is selected.
   I miss this when I'm sitting with irregular patterns that have lots of similar object and i would like to select a bunch of them.

5. Guides menu box

   I use guides on all projects, I open a new artboard, hit cmd+r for the rulers to appear and then draw a square that I want my margins to be, hit align left/top pull a guide line down for horizontal and vertical then align to right/bottom an do the same, this gives me my margins... can we get a popup window that just lets us type in values, like the bleeds but for margins, plus central horizontal and vertical guides tick boxes and columns/row margins etc. Would be great to save these as presets, so I can open a doc, click 10mm and it's all done from what I've saved. Cheers.

6. Problemas de Herramientas de Selección, Distrosión, Entre otras.

   He usado Affinity Designers 2, Por temas empresariales comence a trabajar con Adobe illustrator... Encontre tantas herramientas que estan defasadas y no evolucionan..

   Primero:
   La Herramientas de seleccion debería por si sola tambien trabajar con la distorción del objeto y no requerir una herramienta adicional para distorcionar, dejen el orgullo y aprendan de las novedades a de affinity y apliquenlas en adobe.

   Herramienta de Reflejo...
   No es más facil tener un botor de reflejo en la parte superior o en el menu de propiedades?
   Les explico, en affinity solo presionas un boton y puf, reflejo, tanto horizontal como vertical, y tambien la rotaciones... MUY UTIL Y RAPIDO.
   Piensan que seleccionar la herramienta... dar click como se hará el reflejo... y luego dar aceptar.... Affinity lo resolvio bastante rapido... botones especificos para cada acción puntual.... Creo que pagando una mensualidad, minimo merecemos aplicaciones mas intuitivas..

   Herramienta de Desplazamiento...
   No es mas facil una herramienta a selecionar y que uno libremente vaya desplazando el contorno en tiempo real?
   por que AI no funciona en tiempo real cuando vamos a configurar alguna herramienta?

   Herramienta de degradado en los textos..
   Al momento de crear un texto por primera vez e intentar colocarle un degradado con la herramienta... no funciona... porque? simple, para que funcione debes irte al panel de apariencia y crear un color para el texto y luego aplicar el degradado... entonces pregunto yo ¿Acaso el objeto no debería venir con un color por default? Repito, usen affinity y copien las cosa buenas, apliquenla a AI, la gente se los agradecerá.

   Herramienta de Transparencia?
   Creen que es más facil: seleccionar un objeto, aplicarle un degradado, luego poner los dos colores iguales, luego aplicar mas transparencia a un color que a otro, para crear el efecto de que el objeto es transaprente... a.. Selecionar la herramienta "transparencia" que no existe, deslizar sobre el objeto seleccionado y voala! transparencia al instante.... No debe ser tan dificil para adobe...

   Herramienta de texto...
   Mientra colocas el texto en la mesa de trabajo, tienes que irte al panel de opciones de texto para agradar dicho texto.... SE PIERDE TIEMPO.

   no es mejor dar click, arrastrar y el texto se agrande?

   ¿Por que no prueban affinity y copian un par de funciones?
   Creanme que no se arrepentirán.

   Otra cosa... comiencen a simplificar las herramientan, hay demasiadas que se notan repetitivas.

   Saludos! espero mis sugerencias sean tomadas en cuenta, por que sinceramente, illustrator esta apareciendo el freehand de hace unos años atras.... en vez de mejorar su interfaz y hacerla mas amigable, le mete mas y mas herramientas dispersadas por todo el programa.

7. Please provide an option to not create compound paths with Pathfinder's crop/clipping function.

   When objects completely overlap, recent versions of Illustrator now use compound paths. While this method is indeed superior in that it allows for non-destructive re-editing, I preferred the previous irreversible clipping even when objects completely overlapped. If you can't revert it back, could you at least add an irreversible option?

8. Color swatch mapping with presets for print production

   I made this script using ChatGPT, it does mostly everything I need, but I ran into the issue that the option "Merge Swatches" in the Swatches panel, cannot be used/accessed with JavaScript.

   I work as Prepress designer and I have to constantly change spot colors to match the swatches that the print operators need to match the colors the client need (Pantone match or paint swatches). Most of these colors are saved in an .ASE file and I have to manually merge them multiple times.

   I thought my script was going to fix this for me until I hit that wall.

   Can you guys make something like this that is reliable for the printing industry.

   I would really appreciate.

   Thanks!

9. Allow to quickly change stroke units directly from Stroke panel

   Currently, the stroke unit can be adjusted via the Preferences > Units > Stroke settings. It would be extremely helpful if this setting could also be made accessible directly from the Stroke panel as a shortcut.

   Being able to quickly switch between measurement units is particularly important for us during production workflows. Therefore, we kindly ask you to consider adding a shortcut to the Stroke panel for easier access to unit settings.

10. Allow editing of text content in dynamic symbol instances

    When creating dynamic symbols, there can be some changes to individual instances, however, the text content is static. If you need multiple instances of the same symbol, but with different text content, the only way to achieve that is to break the symbol link before editing; future style updates to the symbol will not be inherited. Sometimes the intended behaviour can be achieved through Character or Paragraph Styles, but if the symbol also includes non-text objects, that is no longer an option.

    It would be great if text content for instances of dynamic symbols could be changed dynamically.

    Sample use cases might be illustrations of maps, board games, calendars, instruction manuals; anything that requires a lot of individual short text instances with consistent iconography or styling.

11. Allow to choose if the Save dialog should "remember the last file format used / PDF is set as a default filetype when saving a new document

    Ever since last update, if i save off a pdf and then create a brand new doc and go to save it, it goes to PDF automatically when it used to always default to .ai so i forget and get to the PDF options and then have to cancel and go back and retype my file name which is just annoying and remembering the last format is not helpful. Almost as annoying as PS trying to export in the last export location instead of the same folder as the .PSD --- NOT HELPFUL

    Hi everyone,

    In the latest BETA 30.0.21, we’ve improved the ‘Save As’ workflow.

    Now, instead of remembering the last used format, the default will always be .AI.

    We made this change to ensure that your files are consistently saved in the native Illustrator format, which is the most reliable option for preserving full editability.

    Please try out he changes by downloading the latest BETA from the Creative Cloud and let us know if it helps you or not.

12. Placeholder Spot Color Swatch Assigned in Illustrator Then Defined in InDesign (and other Adobe Apps - especially AE and Premier)

    This would be a joint effort between AI and INDD. But being able to assign a spot color swatch placeholder to a graphic like any other spot swatch (with tint support) that can then be assigned via the links panel in InDesign.

    Often I need to color coordinate graphics with a document I am building in InDesign. I typically do this by either generating multiple artboards or layers with the variations I need. But sometimes for one-off projects or projects where there may need to be many variations it just makes the AI file much more cumbersome to deal with.

    If I could assign a spot color in AI and then in INDD alter/adjust that color definition (ideally per instance but even just per link) that would be awesome. Then it would export and be read by Acrobat or other RIP software as if it was the spot color I assigned.

    Additionally this placeholder functionality should pass through when saved as an Illustrator native PDF (.ai.pdf files are so much more versatile in InDesign than .ai files)

13. Show Live Shape controls for grouped objects as before

    The shape option in the Transform panel is lost when grouping or compounding rectangular or star shape objects.

    This is very difficult to use because it used to be possible to change the shape object's radius all at once, even when grouped together.

14. Display Active Modifier-Key Command on Screen when holding Control, Shift, or Alt

    When holding down any combination of Ctrl, Shift, or Alt, Illustrator should display on-screen text indicating which command is being invoked.

    Moving or duplicating artboards requires the artboard toolbar to be selected, and then Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys to be held at once in order to drag a duplicate artboard parallel to the original. A simple on-screen text saying "Drag artboard, Drag parallel, Drag with Contents" or similar would help users intuitively understand which hot‑key action is being triggered, especially when working with multiple modifier keys where memorization can be challenging.

    This can be used not just for artboard commands, but all six (!) different paste commands, too.

15. Show Smoothing popup near cursor

    When using the Brush or Pencil tool, and you press the Opt/Alt key, the very nice smoothing box pops up which is amazing and excellent. I think it would be great if the Smoothing popup box appeared close to the cursor. Currently, it pops up in the last place where it was used. It's still great though.

18. Reduce the preview quality of the view to improve rendering speed and avoid performance degradation, which is necessary in complex documents

    Performance severely declines when there are many paths in the document, which is quite frustrating. Hiding some layers and using a high-performance GPU for rendering the view does not completely resolve the issue. I hope a feature can be added to improve rendering efficiency by reducing the preview quality of the view. Additionally, I have noticed that performance tends to degrade more significantly at smaller view scales, while it improves somewhat when the view is zoomed in. I am unsure if this is a bug

19. Add Biology & Scientific Diagram Tools for Easy Cell and Medical Illustrations

To improve workflow and accuracy, I propose that Adobe adds a dedicated set of toolbar tools designed specifically for biological and scientific illustrations, focusing on ease of use, organic shapes, and diagramming features.

    Suggested Tools Include:

    Organic Blob Tool: Create irregular, smooth cell shapes with adjustable wobble and roundness.

    Cell Chain Tool: Draw linked cells or bacteria chains with customizable spacing and size.

    Pseudopod Tool: Add flowing, arm-like extensions for visualizing amoebas or cellular movement.

    Membrane Ripple Tool: Generate subtle wavy edges to mimic membranes or cell walls.

    Cell Texture Fill Tool: Fill cells with natural biological textures like cytoplasm or granules.

    Nucleus Tool: Easily place nuclei or organelles centered inside cells.

    Cilia Brush Tool: Paint fine hair-like cilia or flagella projections from edges.

    Cross Section Tool: Draw dashed sectional lines with arrows and labels for anatomy diagrams.

    Label Connector Tool: Create snapping leader lines with easy label placement for diagrams.

    Microscope View Tool: Apply circular magnification overlays with blur outside for micrographs.

    Force Vector Tool: Draw arrows representing flows or directional forces scaled by magnitude.

    Data Plot Brush: Sketch rough graphs that snap cleanly to axis-aligned charts.

    Molecular Cluster Tool: Generate clusters of atoms or molecules with bonded shapes.

    Field Line Tool: Illustrate magnetic, electric, or fluid flow lines around objects smoothly.

    Radiation Emission Tool: Show particle or wave emissions radiating from points.

    Circuit Path Tool: Draw technical flow lines with snap-to-grid elbows for pathways.

    Axis Label Tool: Quickly create labeled graph axes with ticks and units.

    Tissue Matrix Tool: Fill areas with fibrous or mesh-like biological textures.

    Vein & Branch Tool: Create branching structures like veins, roots, or neural networks with adjustable density and angles.

    Specimen Label Tool: Add smart snapping labels with leader lines for specimens or cell parts.

    Benefits:

    Speeds up the creation of scientific and biological illustrations

    Reduces reliance on manual anchor editing or complicated plugins

    Enables clear, professional, and natural diagrams for education and publication

    Supports educators, researchers, and medical illustrators with specialized tools

    Please consider adding these toolbar tools to Illustrator to make it the go-to app for biological and scientific illustrations

20. Add 'resource size' to the 'prefix' option in 'export multiple formats'

    This prefix is very useful when exporting "multiple resources" and can improve work efficiency.
    In addition, it is recommended that the current prefix naming method be separated from the file name using "prefix -" or "prefix _".
