3D rotation tool like XD and reedit primitive shapes
3D rotation tool like XD please!
And, the option to reedit a primitive shape (like a star for example). Changing the number of points at anytime.
...like Xd already does.
It's sad that I've been asking for this feature since decades, and now, a new software can do it, instead of the "cutting edge" vectorial software...
And, the most ridiculous, inside the same company.2 votes -
ペンツール使用時のみ、タブキーでの選択ツール／ダイレクト選択ツールの切り替えができなくなった
ペンツール使用時に、コマンドキーをヘ押下した際に、ダイレクト選択ツールに変わるが、他のツールでは問題ないのに、ペンツール時のみ、タブキーでの選択ツール／ダイレクト選択ツールの切り替えができなくなった
CS6の頃は使えていたのは間違い無いのだけども、CCのどこかで使えなくなった
とても使いにくくて悲しいので直して欲しい2 votes -

Ich benutz die Funktion etwa 100 mal am Tag und es is n bisschen ätzend jedes mal den Button anzuklicken.
Danke schonma im voraus und LG

set type units individually instead of globally
It would be really nice to allow the Cap Height and X Height to show in inches, independently from the Em Box units. I know this can be changed gloabally in preferences, but in my line of work, I need use pts for Em Box and inches for Cap Height, and I use them both in the same file for different purposes. I also know that I can just type in 3" in the box and it will set correctly, even though it shows in pts. However, memorizing the pt conversion for every height increment is ridiculous, as is having…

Make the artboard centre mark smart guide aware for shape reference points
I should be able to drag the rotation reference point to the centre mark of an artboard and that process be simple but it's never accurate enough. A simple fix might be to make smart guides / shape reference points aware of one another so that I can drag / Alt-click near enough to it and Illustrator recognises where I want the reference point to be set to.

Mesh Smoothing tool
It would be great if the mesh tool had a smoothing option. Kind of like Maya has the control shift option to smooth out kinks in quads. Especially for photo-real projects. It would be so helpful and time-consuming.

You should be able to delete a layer with the delete key.
Like in any other Adobe program you should be able to just press the delete button instead of dragging the layer to the trash bin icon.

Security settings for PDF Authoring
Even though I have a preset when saving my PDF from Illustrator, the security settings never save. Often I have to send out files to people who I must have files locked. But every time I save a pdf I have to type in the same password and change the settings under security. Please let the preset save security settings.

If you roll the mouse wheel over a property, count it as one "Undo"
I love rolling the mouse wheel on properties to make changes and see them in real time, but I always think twice before doing it because I know that Undoing it will be a massive pain. Please count mouse rolls as just one Undo/Redo.

Switch between stroke colour and fill colour for multiple objects
You can switch between fill and stroke of an object's colour. It would be great to be able to do the same for multiple colours (i.e ? symbol for several colours at once)

Keep AI documents from automatically popping up from the Mac dock when another doc is opened.
Every time I open or create a new document, every other Illustrator doc that has been reduced to the Mac dock pops up. That's really annoying. They're in the dock for a reason, because they're not needed while I'm working on the new doc. Can we change it so that docs reduced to the dock stay there until called upon?

Export Selected Artboards for Screens
Instead of having to note all the Artboard ID numbers, it would be nice to select the Artboards (Artboard Tool) then Export Selected for Screens.

Drawing like in CAD
Hi Team, I use also CAD Software and drawing sketches is in most CAD SW more sophisticated than drawing in AI. I mean e.g. when drawing a circle in CAD you can just drop on and then define the origin and radius etc. This coordinate based parametric drawing in CAD is straight forward. So in the end I think drawing sketches like they are drawn in CAD like SolidWorks or Alibre would improve AI a lot. Regards Dirk

Close all other document tabs.
I would find it really useful, if I could right click on a document tab and select "close other tabs" as I often have lot's of tabs open and eventually only want to work on a single tab. Instead of closing all one by one, this could be solved with a single click.

Recolor using color wheel: move multiple color stops
Currently we can only move either ONE colour stop or ALL colour stop(s) in linked condition. It would be great if we could only link SOME of them for moving.
It would be much more convenient when recolouring colour stops of particular hue of a complex artwork.

Implement a "quit function" command
Often there is no way to quit an intense function that is taking too long to complete. One needs to quit the entire program in order to get it to stop. Why isn't there a "quit function" command that immediately overides all other processes and stops the function that is not working?
