Align to artboard
In older versions I always had the option to set "align to artboard" and it didn't reset after deselecting objects. I want it back and I want to be able to do that with a single object again, without having to select at least 2 to set that.

Align panel: Objects touch edges
I draw as well as design web layouts in Ai, and I spend a lot of time sliding objects around on a pasteboard and using Smart Guides to snap them next to each other so they're touching. I'd like to add a set of features to the align panel that allow you to select two objets, define the target object with a second click, and then define which edge of the objects you want them to touch on: top, bottom, left, right.

Center Pattern Command & Center both axis to align palette
Draw a vector shape and fill with a pattern, notice this is not centered. To do this is a long meticulous process prone to error.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2390290.
Can we get an option in the align palette to do this. Would also be nice to add an icon that centers both axis instead of having to click twice for horizontal and vertical.

Align to Artboard is set as default
Align to Artboard is automatically set to default, even after changing the toggle to Align to Selection.
It used to work that whichever you selected, that selection would remain. But now, it always switches back to Align to Artboard. Very frustrating.

"Align to" [artboard or selection] button in the alignment dialogue
I think it's a very simple thing to do for you guys: I'd really like to see the "align to" button (artboard or selection) added to the align-window.
Actually surprised to see it's not..2 votes -
Align to...BUTTON
In a past version of AI, the "align to artboard or selection" was a button rather than a menu. Please bring back the button! I switch between these two options hundreds of times a week and the menu wastes time that adds up.
Thanks so much always!
2 votesAlign To is now three buttons in Align panel instead of a dropdown list.

Bring Back Align To as a USER CHOICE !!
No ONE solution fits for ALIGN TO function. How about going back to when USERS HAD CHOICES. The fancy dynamic feature sucks. I want control BACK to what is being align. I don't want that. tool to change how it works. Bring Back Align To as a USER CHOICE !!

Full Alignment Center Option
Instead of having two tools (Horizontal and Vertical Align Center), can we get a tool that does both in one called something like Fully Align Center. I've included an image of what the tool might look like.

Make Align and Distbute work for direct selected Paths
When subPaths of groups are selected, Align or Distribute works on the complete group, where we expect to work on the selection.

Allow to align pins in the puppet warp tool with each other
In the process of creating brushes from existing artwork, the puppet warp tool is very helpful. But currently, I have to manually align the "spine" of an object and make use of the ruler. See attached.
Unless of course, I am missing a step? I tried the align tool and it doesn't work for the pins for me. Would love if it did.

Align to object on ANOTHER artboard! yeah yeah!
Aligning to an object on another arboard would be really great + needed, for AI users.
In addition to functions like, align to key object and select/edit similar shapes,
It would be so so great to be abled to align an object, to another object, on another artboard!In short:
Aligning objects to the position of other objects on other artboards.
Without having to move objects to the same artboard 1st, or copy their x/y values, just for alignment.Some thoughts/notes:
Implementation,
With artboard rules activated, of course. This seems to be a similar function to the ones that exist:…4 votes -
distribute / align on edges of an artboard or a shape
A request to add two buttons to the "Align" options :
distributing shapes on an artboard in order to have equal spaces between those two shapes AND the edges of the artboard.
This could work with more than two shapes, and artboard could also be replaced by another shape (like a background color...).This should be clearer with a picture...

「中央に整列」を実行したときに、座標の平均ではなく選択範囲の中央に揃えたい / Align to center of selection instead of average of coordinates when "Align Center" is executed
現在のIllustratorデスクトップ版で「選択範囲に整列」を設定し、複数のオブジェクトを対象に「垂直方向中央に整列」または「水平方向中央に整列」を実行すると、それぞれのオブジェクトの中央の座標を平均した位置で揃います。
一方で、Illustrator iPad版で同じ操作を行うと異なる結果になります。iPad版の「中央に整列」では、座標の平均ではなく、選択範囲(バウンディングボックス)の中央でオブジェクトが揃うしくみです。
自分が確認した限りではPhotoshopやInDesignもこちらの仕様です。- 「選択範囲に整列」というオプションの名称からも、座標の平均で揃うことは推測しにくい
- iPad版のように、選択範囲の中央に揃うほうが直感的でイメージしやすい
- デスクトップ版とiPad版の同じ機能がそれぞれ違う動きをするのは避けるべき
- 選択範囲の中央に揃う仕様はその他のAdobe製品でも採用されている
上記の理由から、Illustratorデスクトップ版でも「中央に整列」では選択範囲の中央に揃える仕様に変更してほしいです。
---------(used the translation tool)---------
In Illustrator on desktop, select multiple objects, and in the "Align to Selection" setting, execute "Vertical ( or Horizontal ) Align Center".
The objects will then be aligned at the average of their respective center coordinates.
However, the same operation in Illustrator on iPad produces a different result. The iPad's "Align Center" aligns the object at the center of the selection (bounding box), rather than at the average of the coordinates.
As far as I have confirmed, Photoshop and InDesign also have this specification.- It is difficult…

Aligning to a certain object
The Align tools in all Adobe programs is a wonderful feature. However, in Illustrator when you Align objects it changes the position of ALL of them. In other programs, it tends to be the last object you select takes the dominant position - aligning all others to it. In Illustrator it doesn't seem to matter the order you select, it just aligns it to the nearest center point (thus moving ALL the objects). The Lock feature doesn't help as you cannot select a locked object to align with/to.
16 votesYou can align to an object you choose to be the key one.. Click the object you want to use as a key the second time and Ai will use a bolder edge to highlight it.

Go back to old Align to Pixel check box
I wish Illustrator would go back to having a check box for align to pixel. That way I could see just by clicking on an object or objects that it is aligned. Now, in Illustrator CC 2017, I have to select every object seperately and press the new button on the top right, in order to get the message that it is aligned.

Properties Panel Lack of alignment on single object
Hello the new properties panel is good however if you select a single object there is no option to align that object, if you select more than one it comes up...
THis would be very handy on a single object
27 votesHi Everyone,
Thanks for this feedback. This has been avialble since June 2020 release (version 24.2). Further, when you’ll select a single object/group, Align To setting will default to Align To Artboard.
Please update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback.
Thanks,

Right align Export destination folder path text on Export for Screens window
My suggestion is to have the 'folder path' text be right aligned in the text box, to have the export destination be more accessible, instead of the root folders.
Currently, I have to click into the folder path text box, then click + drag to see where my file will export to. This is cumbersome and unnecessary.
