Crop command embedding linked images
I would be thankful if linked images remain linked (instead of being embedded after using the crop command). I would like to believe that this can be made possible. This is the normal behaviour in other graphic design software.
1 voteIf you want to keep a cropped image as a live linked image, you should Clip it instead. Press the Mask button (in Control or Properties panel) and Ai will create and select a rectangular path with the same dimensions. Transform this path with any tool you like or with the bounding box, and the image inside will remain unembedded.
Crop command, on the other hand, is intended specifically for 'physical' cropping, and since Ai won’t edit the original placed image, it gets embedded and then cropped.
Just use the method you need.
Please comment back if it works for you.

Update linked assets for large number of files
I have an asset in CC Libraries that I used in 50+ ai files. Those ai files are then used in a layout in InDesign. If i change the asset in CC Libraries I would like a way to force an update of that asset to all those AI files so that the update propagates through to my InDesign layout.

Intuitive drawing: "Pencil tool" in mode adding "Blob brush tool"
Hi,
I would like to be able to draw, draw and model using the Pencil Tool in edit mode like the "Blob brush tool".
Eg.
1 • Pencil Tool. I draw any shape.
2 • I mark this shape and draw another one
3 • The effect is the automatic joining of these shapes into one summary.Such a simple, fast and intuitive way to draw ketor shapes for the cartoonist.
Attention.
• Drawing with the "Blob brush tool" is a different shape effect without sharp lines. Eg saw. E.g. lasts or coat or hair cartoons.
• drawing many objects…1 vote -
Option for drag select to ignore text paths
Whenever I am working on an artboard for brand identity, I have a lot of text paths on objects. Whenever I try to click and drag over an element, it ALSO grabs the path of the text, which I do not want. Is there a way to only click and drag over the elements you want to touch without having to lock the text paths?

Make the GPU renderer realize when it is grinding to a halt and turn itself off automatically.
The GPU renderer is great. If you're on a machine with a hefty GPU. If you're not throwing a bunch of bitmaps and/or bitmap effects at it. If you're not working with a lot of overlaid transparency.
If one or more of these is false, it starts slowing down the preview rendering. And not by microseconds. I have files that render the preview a little sluggishly, but still usably, with the CPU renderer, and take minutes to update with the GPU renderer.
I myself have permanently turned off the GPU renderer, as I regularly fail all three of these ifs…

Smart guides to work with artboard
I suggest enabling smart guides when you work with artboards as well, feels like it should help with workflow.
1 voteSmart Guides can be used to align artboards almost the same as other shapes. If you have a feature request or a bug report on the behavior you don’t like about — please upvote an existing one or make a new one.

Sell a 2 pick your own software Adobe bundle.
I find the adobe suite to be too expensive, specially since I only use Pshop and Illustrator. But getting them individually is also too expensive. Would be awesome if Adobe provided us with a bundle for like 25 bucks where we could pick any two adobe programs if its the 20 dollar ones or 15 if its the 9.99 ones.

ワークスペースに記憶されるスウォッチ
ワークスペースの機能をとても気に入っています。作業をしていてどんなにパネルをごちゃごちゃにしても、一発ですっきりと自分のお気に入りの環境に戻せるからです。
しかし、残念なことがひとつあります。
私は、よく使う色を、aiにまとめてスウォッチを作っています。
そのスウォッチを読み込んで、そのパネルを、ワークスペース内の他のパネルとくっつけて、私の理想的なワークスペースをいくつか作りました。それに名前をつけて保存しておきました。ところが、Illustratorを再起動すると、ワークスペースから自作のスウォッチのパネルだけが無くなってしまいます。他のパネルの配置や状態は変わらないのですが、自作のスウォッチの状態だけは記憶されていないようです。
ところが不思議なことに、新たにワークスペースを作って、Illustratorを終了するまでの間は、自作のスウォッチも含めて記憶されているように見受けられます。パネルの配置を変えてしまってから、「ウインドウ > ワークスペース」で保存したワークスペースのリセットを行うと、自作のスウォッチも含めて、元の状態に戻ります。
ああ、素晴らしい。快適だなあと思うのですが..
次にIllustratorを起動したときには自作のスォッチのパネルだけ忘れられているのです。とても惜しい。もうちょっとで完璧なのに！1 vote -

scale tool doesn't work in make pattern
The scale tool currently does not do anything within pattern mode. Maybe this worked in previous versions, but would like to see all tools working within pattern mode on future updates

Hide Selection and Show All
Hide selection and show all, objects that we hide with the hide selection command should be warned when closing our working file. When we open the same file at a later time, we cannot know what we have hidden with the hide command. There should be a warning or sign when closing or opening the file.

境界線を隠すコマンドについて
境界線を隠すコマンドを以前の仕様に戻してほしいです。
せっかく境界線を隠すコマンドを使用しているのに、複数オブジェクトを選択するとはじめに選択したオブジェクトの境界が現れます。
また、テキストの一部文章を選択した際も選択範囲が強調され、選択部分のみのカラー変更をする際に変更がリアルタイムに確認できません。1 vote -
