Make Check Spelling work in Finnish
I have searched for answers in community and tried all the suggestions.
At least English, Spanish and Swedish spell checking is working.I have changed the language to Finnish in preferences hyphenation settings, character styles, paragraph styles and in the written text box. Spell check finds no words and automated check also does nothing.

Export elements / assets in more formats than default ones, maybe ALL. Plugin or option needed
Any way or plugin to export elements / assets in other formats than default ones by Illustrator? Especially DXF files. It's killing the workflow to jump to the dropdown every single time...

Addressing long-standing graph tool issues
Just went back to prerelease site where I logged a complaint about the Radar graph. Feedback was that the error was not an error but an intentional result. I am however not satisfied with that reply. Other graph tools remember grid line settings, font settings, etcetera. Radar tool reverts all those settings every time the graph is updated. This is not a logical result. But this is just one of many complaints about the graph tools and there has been zero development of graph tools, as far as I can see, since they first appeared over 30 years ago. I…

Find / Replace font... to include adjusting font and text size
I would like to see a capability added to the find/replace font... feature to include finding and replacing text sizes throughout a document. I make a lot of repetitive text throughout many artboards and sometimes I have to adjust the text size of a particular font. In addition I sometimes have mixed fonts in a textbox and have to adjust the size of one or a few of them separately without changing the size of the other fonts. That would be a super time-saving feature too.

A way to lock colors to prevent them from changing in Recolor dialog
When recoloring art, it would be AWESOME to have a lock function next to the swatches. There is already a way to lock a swatch that you don't want to recolor, but it'd be nice if, as you cycle through the swatch/recolor options, you could lock or "freeze" ones you like and continue to recolor the unlocked swatches.

Make gradient hard stops
A gradient can be striped when you move 2 stops of the same color on top of each other. It would be easier if this were not needed as is the case in Cinema 4D. So Illustrator should have a setting that gradient stops break the gradient and make stripes.

Symbol Sprayer Tool Enhancement
The Symbol Spray Tool is very awkward in using and not very intuitive to first time users. Who would have thought to double tap to open the options for the tool. There is very little documentation on this. I do not believe the tool is used by many artist. May be add the options to the menu bar? Also unable to ungroup or align the symbols once they are on the artboard. Would be awesome to be able to create a path and apply the symbols on the path. This would be great to create an outline then spray the…

Tool tip switch in the program's top panel
It would be great to have a tooltip switch in the program's top panel, as it is not possible to disable them from the first launch of Illustrator, and it's not very obvious in general. Therefore, I suggest adding a toggle switch for these tooltips. While they are indeed helpful, it's not always easy to remember what each tool is for. However, during active work, having the tooltips constantly displayed can be distracting, and to turn them off, one has to go into the settings and disable "Show tool tip." It would be nice if tooltips were also implemented for…

功能请求：关于画板移动
下面是使用场景：
当一个大项目中有多个小项目（多个画板），每个小项目都需要标注说明性文字。当我要把所有（或部分）小项目移动到画布的其他位置，目前我只能对画板进行移动，每个画板的说明文字无法一起移动。当前的操作是，画板和文字需要分别移动，非常麻烦，而且项目多的时候容易出错。希望能增加相应的功能！2 votes -
Opentype + Glyphs UI Menu Preview
While the UI for Opentype is appreciably better than Indesign, there are still a few hinderances in the UI that make it painfully difficult to use and limits functionality. This could solved in one (hopefully easy) solution: PREVIEW TYPOGRAPHIC FEATURES
THE PROBLEM:
Currently, you have to click the stylistic set to open a dropdown menu, once you’ve clicked a style, the dropdown disappears. To see another style you need to open the dropdown menu again and deselect the previous style you just selected. Open the dropdown menu again, and then select the next style.THE SOLUTION:

Feature Request: Preference for Copy and Duplicate Layers without auto renaming and adding "copy" to them
Hi Adobe 🙂
I make large Illustrator files that have lots of layers, and often I find myself copying a layer that has a ton of sublayers. I spend way too much time renaming the copied layers removing the word "copy" or "copy 3" etc from the sublayer names.
I have found some workarounds, if this helps anyone. If I want to copy a layer called **, I will copy it, then rename it XXXz then paste and the new pasted layer is ** without the name copy, then I can go back and remove the z from the…

Star Tool: include center/origin lines
This would be a small addition, but one that I think would be valued. All regular stars (that is, not "fun" stars whose inner circle radius has been enlarged to make them "puffy") are made up either of:
- A repeated/rotated shape
- A single line bouncing off the outer diameter that eventually meets itself again
It would be a nice addition to this tool for those "origin lines" to be represented in the output so that we can more easily create art based on those lines instead of having to re-create the lines manually.

Synchronise tiled windows
I would like to have all tiled windows use the same panning and zoom settings as the window I am currently working in.
• How it's working now: each tiled window has its own zoom factor. Panning with the hand tool moves the view inside the active window.
• How it should work: zoom and panning are synched between all tiled windows. They all have the same zoom factor and X/Y position. If I zoom in the active window, all other windows zoom in as well; if I pan in one window, all other windows pan in the same manner.…

French Curve tools. I used it with the older version of Adobe Draw for iPad when Apple Pencil was released. I need it put back.
French Curve tools. I used it with the older version of Adobe Draw for iPad when Apple Pencil was released. I need it put back. As a clothing designer I’m writing a design pattern drafting book. I started the project years ago using the French Curve tools that were available in the Adobe Draw app that is no longer available. I need those tools to complete my book project. Drawing pattern drafts require those tools. Please put the French Curve tools back into the tools area for the iPad Adobe Illustrator app to be used with Apple Pencil. I can’t…

When rotating an object, add a hotkey that allows the user to explicitly enter the rotation angle.
When rotating an object, I can see the rotation angle and I have to struggle to get the rotation to align perfectly to an exact angle. While I can do this with the rotate tool, it's frustrating to see the rotation almost where I need it, but having to undo, select the rotation tool, set the angle, etc.
If there was a hotkey while rotating, like say, Ctrl... a small text box would appear in place of the angle and I could just manually enter the angle with the previous rotation angle as a default, I think that could save…

Live align
With this live align feature, you could have two objects maintain their alignment properties even if you change one of the objects. For example, if you have a rectangle and text inside it. You should be able to align the text to the rectangle. Later, when you change the text or change the rectangle, it should keep the alignment settings persistent. So, if you made the rectangle longer, the text would remain centered on the longer rectangle.
I center objects within groups all the time. As far as I know, there is no way to make changes to objects and…

Please allow image tracing of individual colours to individual layers rather than 16 million objects.
Being able to trace one colour to one layer would make laser cutting so much easier. e.g. 16 colours to 16 layers
