Perspective anchored objects - Advanced perspective manipulation
I've been wanting something to solve the following use-case for a while:
When adjusting a 2D illustration drawn in perspective, to a new position within that perspective (think cereal box rotating on a surface), I find myself spending a lot of time adjusting anchors and curves. The new shape tools have been a huge help, but they can go further!
It would be AMAZING to anchor 2D drawings to a perspective plane and update them with a simple rotation within that plane (like you would in 3D)
How would this work? Illustrator would assume outer lines would move more slowly…

Used to be able to resize text back to 100% in a group after stretching it horizontally or vertically.
After stretching a group horizontally or vertically, you used to be able to resize the text back to 100% (aka, revert the weird text stretching while keeping all the objects grouped together). This option seems to be missing after the Ai update! Please give it back!

Make Animated zoom and Scrubby zoom as two different settings, as in Photoshop
I love the GPU animated zoom when scrubbing/dragging the canvas.
BUT no that it starts zooming automatically when the mouse is pressed down less than a second.
It’s extremely annoying.In Photoshop when you deactivate the Animated Zoom you can still scrub/drag the GPU zoom.
If you deactivate the Animated Zoom in Illustrator you can only do the classic stepped zoom, but not drag to have the animated zoom.
Can you add the feature to make it so that you can disable the automatic Animated Zoom but still keep the animated scrub/drag zoom please, just like in Photoshop.

Highlight the layer that is selected on the artboard
When selecting an object, it's extremely hard to find the layer. Can the layer be auto selected/highlighted when selecting an object?
3 votesWhen one or more objects of a Layer are selected, the Layer gets highlighted and also indicates a selection. To locate the object in the Layer panel – see if this works. Select the object, click on the Layer panel flyout menu and pick ‘Locate Object’.

No outline for an empty layer’s thumbnail in Layers panel
In a previous edition of Ai, when in the layers palette and having a layer with no content, the thumbnail square didn't have an outline. Now it has an outline and leads you to believe there is content there.
Why did you change it? Leave it without an outline so you can delete it without the extra steps of looking for content you might not see (being white) or want to delete.
I feel both Adobe and Apple make changes just to makes changes and justify someone's job. I really resent the accumulation of constant unnecessary changes and this is…

Support video placement for UX design
Being able to import videos and make a design on top of a looping video would be super helpful for all of us product designers that need to see how the movement of the video impact on a design. This can help in websites and apps, and for presentation purposes it would be nice to be able to export the video.
Right now to test a background video on a design you have to export the design and work on a new file inside a video editor.3 votes -
Adobe Draw File Management
I use Adobe Draw every day, and I keep all drawings for one project together in one file. There is no function to change the order that files or folders appear in the app, nor is there a search function, and and so if I am still working on a drawing I created yesterday in a folder that I opened 4 years ago, I have to visually search through hundreds of drawings every time I open the app or move back and forth through different projects.
Pretty please, introduce either a 'sort by last opened' option, and/or a file/folder search…

Paste svg content from clipboard, not underlying xml content
There are several design tools that can put SVG text on the clipboard including Illustrator. Please support pasting that content from the clipboard as content, not xml text. XD does this correctly, so Illustrator should too.

Free Transform of Text does not operate as expected
Free Transform of Text does not operate as expected; Text should rotate with the text box when using free transform - instead the text does not rotate. Having to stop my workflow to find the rotate command and then guess what angle I need to rotate is a time waster.

Search for text on artboard/canvas
I know illustrator has good navigation features. But when designer provide project files to client for example on envato market. First pain for client is to understand document patterns. I want to make help instruction inside illustrator document but search feature is required to navigate to different sections.
For example: 1000+ icon set, search is required for such big documents.

Text thread marker (out port) is too small
The size of the red controller [+] which allows you to create a new threaded text is so small that is almost impossible to click. I think it could be bigger in order to improve the usability. In fact, many of those options can be bigger.

単位の自動切り替え機能
カラー形式によって文字や線の単位を自動で切り替えてくれる、もしくは予めいくつか設定を保存しているものに切り替えるという機能が欲しいです。
DTPとWebデザイン両方をIllustratorで行う場合、DTPはミリメートル、Webはピクセルと単位が異なるため、その都度環境設定から単位を変更するのが若干手間だと感じています。例えばアートボードのカラー形式によって単位を変更する機能があるととても便利です
（CMYKに設定すればミリメートル、RGBならピクセルになるという風に）
ご検討のほどよろしくお願い致します。3 votes -
最近使用したものの一覧にファイルパスを表示する Display file path for Recently Used items
最近使用したもの一覧はインターフェースとして便利ですが、同一ファイル名を使用したりするケースでは判別がつかず、ファイル管理上、危険が伴うので、ファイルパスを表示するなど、どこかにユニーク情報を入れてほしい。

Artboard delete tool
This is really nitpicky but the little X at the top right of the artboard tool is too small and more often than not I end up creating a new artboard around the object at the top right of the artboard. Possibly make the cross larger or move it somewhere else to remove this problem?

Save to older version of EPS or AI
CS6 does not appear to allow the user to save to older versions of EPS or AI. Many vendors and designers are still using older versions, and the inability to save to older versions is creating a lot of problems.
3 votesIt should be possible to do so through File > Save As… then select the Format as .ai or .eps, then click Save. In the next dialog select the desired version from CC to Ai3.
