Função Encostar
Deveria ser adicionada a função "ENCOSTAR" para não ter que ficar mexendo as coisas com o mouse pra elas ficarem ENCOSTADAS
2 votesThe current description is too brief, please elaborate: what should it do exactly (some before / after images would help), where should it appear, what’s the reason behind it.

Display the confirmation when a HEX value is copied from the Color panel
Today, when we click the dedicated button to copy a HEX value, either in the Color panel or in Swatches Options dialog, Illustrator selects the value (and copies it), but the fact it gets copied is nowhere stated.
I’d use the Ai’s 'shy message' to inform the users about this instead ( '#XXYYZZ copied') and would not select the value — but would select it by clicking the '#' symbol instead, to match the 'click the caption to select the value' paradigm Illustrator uses in all other fields.2 votes -
Bi-color contour brush
I want to suggest to the Adobe Illustrator developers the creation of a brush that allows for precise adjustments of both the line width and the outline width in millimeters, and that, when lines intersect or overlap, it combines the elements and creates a continuous outline around them. This would allow you to create patches for milling machines.

Snap Bézier handles to consistent lengths
Would it be possible to add more precise settings regarding the snap behavior of the Pen tool’s anchor points, especially for the handles? This feature exists in Figma and is very useful for ensuring that handles have the same length, distance, and alignment.
In addition, these handles are often difficult to click. They should be made more accessible, either by increasing their size or by enlarging them by hover.

Allow to share a document by directly emailing it from the Share dropdown
New "Share" dropdown is horrible. It does so much less. I miss being able to email directly from Share dropdown. Backwards tech!

Enable Display Font Names in English by default in non-CJK versions
Previously we got a dedicated option for this, based on this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35995396
But it should be the default choice in non CJK versions.

Dynamic Stroke Weight for Pencil Tool
I want to suggest a feature for the Pencil Tool: the ability to automatically apply a Variable Width Profile based on my real-time input.
Currently, the Pencil Tool only draws lines with a uniform stroke (or with a VSW profile from the selection)
I propose adding a new option in the Pencil Tool preferences to link stroke weight dynamically to: Pressure Sensitivity (Tablet Users) and Drawing Speed Sensitivity (Mouse/Trackpad Users)
This single addition would transform the Pencil Tool into a powerful, intuitive instrument for design.

Alias/map similar colors to a proper swatch via an Ink Manager similar to InDesign
The header pretty much describes it. Sometimes links don't have properly named spot colors or such and instead of spending time editing those links it would be easier to add the proper swatch in AI and then "map" the link colors to that color.

Allow to detach Variable Stroke Width profiles dropdown as a separate panel
A fly-out panel would be good for VSW profiles, same as in this request for arrowheads: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50777822
When there are a lot of profiles, selecting them from a dropdown menu is hard.

Arrowhead style should be retained so I can continue drawing lines with arrowheads
Arrowheads are way too difficult to apply. If I want to draw multiple lines with an arrowhead style, I have to keep going back to stroke palette and keep applying the arrowhead style, OR use the eyedropper tool. This is inefficient. Being able to set my line weight, color, etc. and then choose arrowhead style and continue to draw multiple lines using the style would be VERY useful and a big time saver.

Kinda like... 9-slice symbol scaling, more like, locked side scaling
9-slice symbol scaling works FOR CORNERS. But can you make it so that the TOP, BOTTOM, OR SIDES can stay in place and you can just make the length of an item longer? It's not always about Rounded corners, sometimes it's about an ARCHED TOP or CURVED SIDE, which is static but box needs to grow. This is important to me because I'm in signage and every template we work with can be for example: 6" wide or 8" wide and vary in length or width. So that we do not have to re-draw every shape, or hand extend every box, it would be great if there was a "tool" to keep the template in "easy access" that can be easily modified to length or width without modifying the artistic shape, like arch on top which distorts if you don't grab the points. Consequently, it's also hard to hit an exact 8" measurement when making it bigger by pulling out the points without zooming in, you always get a random 8.023" (perhaps this is another setting I need to adjust but, in one grouped way it works, on this subject, when enlarged, it is better when the numbers are 8" not 8.023". As we are using trying to obtain a yield from a sheet of material.

Jump to art-board and word being spell checked.
Please add the option to jump to art-board being spell checked please.
I often use up to 50 x A4 art-boards with abbreviations and technical text that I need to closely spell check in context within its paragraph. I can't even see which art-board is being checked when using multiple art-boards, as it is.
Jumping to art-board would make work so much easier. Please add this option.2 votes -
Background Grid Not Displayed Behind Fully Opaque Objects in Illustrator 30.0
I am experiencing an issue in Illustrator 30.0 where the background grid does not appear behind any objects that have 100% opacity, regardless of fill or effects. This happens even when Overprint Preview is enabled. This kind of phenomenon did not occur while using 28.x and 29.x series.
- Illustrator version: 30.0
- OS: macOS Sequoia (15.3.2)
- Issue: Any object with 100% opacity completely hides the background grid.
- Troubleshooting steps attempted:
- Switching GPU performance ON/OFF
- Using CPU preview
- Resetting Illustrator preferences
- Switching to Outline view and back

Add "Go to Object" in layers panel, not just "Select Object"
Would love "Go to Object" option when selecting an object to find it in the layers panel. Currently, it only has the option to "Find Object" from the menu. I then have to scroll through sometimes hundreds of items within that layer to find the little dot.

Stroke Malfunctioning
Stroke keeps changing to 1pt black on an object when attempting to update fill color. Must either undo the fill action or reupdate the stroke again. I would like Illustrator to leave my color and pt settings as I had them, not randomly decide to change them.

Hiding the artboard (Ctrl+Shift+H) should not change the canvas color.

Now, after hiding the artboard, the canvas color changes to white.2 votes -
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.
