The main interface works properly but when you use secondary menu like texture or so, the font in this menu is so tiny that we can't work.

When snapping to a point please take edges of object into consideration
"When snapping to a point, the snapping alignment depends on the position of the pointer, not the edges of the dragged object." -- A. Illustrator
...but if I could put my pointer exactly where I need it in order to get the edge of an object exactly on the margin, what's the point of the snap to feature? That is a pain in the butt. And really hard to do. I need the option of snapping the edges of the object to the margin. Spart guides do not help.

Add custom AI templates to the CC library
Add custom AI templates to the CC library. The functionality is already programed for Adobe Stock. Allow the user to add custom templates to their libraries. Enable the bulk import of .ait files.
I noticed on another thread requesting Cloud files to show in libraries menu. That or create another menu that is for the files similar to how the libraries function. Whatever is easier.

Insert a new artboard in a specific order position
I usually work with a lot of artboards around 100 per file.
I would like the possibility to enter the number of the position of the artboard!The problem consist when I have a lot or artboards and I create a new one it is the last in artboard panel. Then I need to drag it up to the preferred order position. If it needs to be in the third place I need a lot of scrolling up!

Migrate Font Favorites Between Programs
I have quite a few font favorites, sometimes ones that rotate in or out of the Favorites list in InDesign or other programs, dependent on the projects I'm working on at that given time. I'd like to be able to migrate the font favorites between the three main programs I use: InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop without needing to add/remove the fonts in each program individually.

Infinite bezier curve/scale
Create a functionality so that when you adjust a bezier curve or scale a shape it does not move your window, instead your cursor would appear on the other side of your screen until you have reached the desired curve or scale while the window stays still. (similar to how blenders scale function works, see video)

Live Corner Radius - Expand round corner created with live corner widget on a live shape to an object/Shape/Path *without* a numeric value
I want to eliminate the live corner radius numbers and have the object simply be a shape without a corner radius assigned (Just expanded shape to a path with a fill) so that if its scaled by just about anyone it can't get screwed up. It seems like CC limited the ability to do this easily, its making me insane! Just like you would outline a stroke, I want to "outline" or expand the corner radius created with the widget, any ideas?
Basically if I save a drawing or logo that was created with the corner widget as an expanded…

Move close button away from save in File menu
Moving the Close button away from the Save button, maybe to just below Revert
Sounds like a sad fix but having the Save button right below the Close has caused me to lose original works due to accidentally pressing Save instead of close when i don't to save the changes made.
This has happened when my mouse has had a sudden glitch and not moved the .5mm needed to press the correct button. worse when you can't undo due to hitting the maximum number of undos
Not a major issue but anyone that has done this would know the pain…

Please have customized brushes/swatches/&c. save automatically.
It would be nice if custom created brushes were saved automatically so that users do not have to save them after they have created them.

Display all font names in default language
The new Illustrator Adobe Fonts interface displays CJK fonts using their native language name. This is OK for people who are fluent in every language, but may be hard to use depending on who you are. Additionally, the font cannot be searched for using its English name. This is not consistent with InDesign's Adobe Fonts implementation, which still uses all English names.
Please make Illustrator's CJK font display entirely in English, similar to InDesign's, or at least display a searchable English name in brackets.

DWG Export - export Visible layers only
Have an option to export only visible layers to DWG.
When exporting a DWG have an option to export only visible layers,
this would work in a similar way to export selected items only, but would save unlocking all layers you want to export and selecting the items.3 votes -
All letters turning to CAPS when "all caps" is selected - ð/Ð always stays lowercase (Icelandic)
All letters turning to CAPS when "all caps" is selected would be nice. The ð/Ð always stays lowercase (ð), it has to be changed manually to the uppercase 'Ð' ...which is extremely annoying.

Hot key to cycle through objects when many are close together or stacked and you select one of them...
When zoomed out, or there are many objects in the same area, it would be nice if I could select one, and then hit a hot-key to cycle between other objects that are nearby, or behind the selected object. Right now, I have to lock or hide the selected object to be able to select another one that is very close or behind it.

Preview Fonts with a Nonlinear Font-Scrolling/Characteristic(s) Palette [similar to Photoshop Brush palette]
The new-ish font preview while scrolling one's font list is DYNAMITE.
It would be even better if there was some kind of interface other than a linear list. It could be customized for characteristics (similarly to the way PS brush palette operates).
Would be great to quickly scrub all Script fonts, Serifs, Sans Serifs, Techno, Geometric, or get really specific with Preview all Glyphs and special characters, etc.
Rather than linear, the tool could be more useful with nonlinear funtionality.
For example: Script,

An option to include details in file name on export automatically
Wish to export file as per artboard size/color/... (option to provide file details in file name)
E. g: if artboard size is 1x1 inch and 3x4, once we exporting the file to somewhere, the file name becomes "filename1x1 inch01", "filename3x4 inch02",
This is very easy for people who working with multiple artboard in a single file.3 votes -
When working on multiple artboards it would be very helpful if the artboard I'm working on was highlighted in the artboard panel.
When working on multiple artboards it would be very helpful if the artboard I'm working on was highlighted in the artboard panel. I find myself clicking through multiple boards on the panel because I can't remember which board I was on. It's not uncommon for me to have 50 boards.
