Free Transform of Text does not operate as expected
Free Transform of Text does not operate as expected; Text should rotate with the text box when using free transform - instead the text does not rotate. Having to stop my workflow to find the rotate command and then guess what angle I need to rotate is a time waster.

Search for text on artboard/canvas
I know illustrator has good navigation features. But when designer provide project files to client for example on envato market. First pain for client is to understand document patterns. I want to make help instruction inside illustrator document but search feature is required to navigate to different sections.
For example: 1000+ icon set, search is required for such big documents.

Text thread marker (out port) is too small
The size of the red controller [+] which allows you to create a new threaded text is so small that is almost impossible to click. I think it could be bigger in order to improve the usability. In fact, many of those options can be bigger.

最近使用したものの一覧にファイルパスを表示する Display file path for Recently Used items
最近使用したもの一覧はインターフェースとして便利ですが、同一ファイル名を使用したりするケースでは判別がつかず、ファイル管理上、危険が伴うので、ファイルパスを表示するなど、どこかにユニーク情報を入れてほしい。

Artboard delete tool
This is really nitpicky but the little X at the top right of the artboard tool is too small and more often than not I end up creating a new artboard around the object at the top right of the artboard. Possibly make the cross larger or move it somewhere else to remove this problem?

Save to older version of EPS or AI
CS6 does not appear to allow the user to save to older versions of EPS or AI. Many vendors and designers are still using older versions, and the inability to save to older versions is creating a lot of problems.
3 votesIt should be possible to do so through File > Save As… then select the Format as .ai or .eps, then click Save. In the next dialog select the desired version from CC to Ai3.

Illustrator - Trace image and turn in to an editable path instead of shapes
I would love to be able to take my drawings and use the live trace feature (or maybe even a feature within the Illustrator app??) that would allow me to trace my hand-drawn sketches (on paper) and turn them into line paths instead of outlined shapes. This way, I don't have to trace my images again, once they are in Illustrator. It would be a huge time saver!
3 votesThere are options for image tracing in AI. Extended panel gives you an ability to select Strokes instead of Fills. Tweaking these can help you with that. Please comment back if you think these should be refined.

Background option for thumbnail view when saving vectors, especially white vectors
When a user goes through the save options on the pop-up window, it would be nice to add a feature that lets one select a background color for the thumbnail image. My reason for this is so my white vector files do not disappear on a white background. That would be great for me as a designer. The real trick would be if this thumbnail could also be viewed by anyone on their computer. White logos and icons I develop are passed off to clients or internal team members. Seeing that thumbnail can eliminate doubt and questions about the image actually being saved.
If this feature exists, please let me know.

Bring object forward (and back etc.) within selection only
Sometimes I will be working in a document with many different objects and as an example, I might want to add something between two different objects. I would like a way to select just the three objects and send the new object forward or back relative to what I have selected instead of to the whole document.
I know I can just group the objects and arrange within the group but it would be nice to have a quicker way to achieve this.

2 finger tap undo on desktop touch interface
I have a touch screen laptop and I like using Fresco but struggle to use the touch interface in Illustrator and Photoshop because gestures don't work as expected. I thought at some point you all would add 2 finger tap to undo and 3 finger tap to redo as well as some other more common gestures. Is this possible? If so when can we expect this?

Can we have better gradients when working in CMYK to Pantone?
Have better control with gradients when working with spot colors to CMYK. When using the normal gradient tool and working with Pantone colors to CMYK you get a nasty grey gradient. Currently you have to create two shapes, extend on of the gradients and set it to multiply. The new 2026 gradient dither feature does not fix this problem.

Please allow us to assign F# keys to Tools
I can assign the Function Keys to Panels, but not Tools in Illustrator, but I can in InDesign. I'm tired of accidentally typing a "v" when I want the Selection Tool in Illustrator. With InDesign, I've assigned the F1 key to the Selection Tool to avoid this, but I can't in Illustrator...why? Please allow!

Shadow and other Stylize effect dialog boxes - Modernize!
Can you please make the Stylize (under effects) dialog boxes actually useful?
The up and down arrow .125 inch default is just useless, far too big of steps to allow any real control. Unless (maybe) you're putting a shadow under a giant object.
X & Y movement rather than direction… the whole thing is clunky and hasn't changed in a decade or more.
Try putting a drop shadow on any reasonable font size (for example), I find myself making changes in weird amounts (oh, .06 is too much, I'll change it to .052 and see if that works).
It's just painful to work with.
How about a slider?
Or, if you want to see a useful drop shadow interface, Photoshop has one! Use that. Perfectly functional.
Please, please make this a useful interface, I've been waiting for this since version 5.5. That's too long.Can you please make the Stylize (under effects) dialog boxes actually useful?

Make the Intertwine feature a standalone tool in the toolbar
Can we please make the Intertwine feature it's own standalone tool, so If you are intertwining elements you can still edit and continue intertwining without having to restart, as it's currently impossible to go back to intertwining same elements when you have left the mode.

Création d'un simple trait à partir d'une typographie ou d'un logo en double trait pour en faire une gravure sur CNC,
Idée : à partir d'une typographie classique : vectorisation de la police - passer en mode contour - déterminer la moitié entre 2 points - création d'une ligne centrale pour avoir un mono trait. Cela pourrait s'appliquer à un logo même avec un empattement variable2 votes
