Allow to disable 'Create PDF Compatible File' option when saving AIT templates
Compatibility with PDF takes a ton of disk space, and .ait templates don’t really need it, because these are no intended to be imported or placed — just launched. Perhaps you should disable it by default?
As I understand, these are actually just .ai files, but the different extension causes Ai to process them differently...
I don’t expect a full-blown dialog when saving, but why not?
Take a look at this related request:

User Friendly Subscription Services
Change the subscription model from yearly to monthly as default. In it's current state, the basic subscription is misleading. It claims it's monthly but locks you into a yearly contract. There are two ways to fix this.
- Use an honest model that is fully monthly with no contracts.
or..
- Create better easy to read text that clarifies if the subscription is monthly or yearly.
Please fix the subscription services to better reflect their intentions.

線の塗りを設定しているオブジェクトがマスクされてしまう
macOS14.7.2
Illustrator29以降にアップデートしてから現れたバグです。（現在29.2.1）線の塗りを有効にしているオブジェクトを下位バージョンへコピー＆ペーストするとマスクされた状態になってしまいます。マスクを解除すれば戻りますが、オブジェクトが複数あるものはグループが解除されてしまいます。
ご対応頂けると助かります。2 votes -
An ability to have an exact width without tracking
The width should be based on the actual vectors and not the letters with Tracking (Kerning). If I add 100 tracking to the text, it is wider then the actual vectors and that creates issues with making sure the letters will fit on a wall that they would be attached to.

Preference for keyboard increments in NUMERICAL value boxes
I love being able to use the up/down keys to change the values of the numerical values in panels and dialog boxes such as OFFSET PATH.
The problem is that the incremental jumps are to far (1/8 of an inch when set to inches). We can use modifier keys to increase or decrease this jump, BUT it is still big jumps.
I can find no other way to adjust this other than moving to Points or pixels for the measuring through right clicking the ruler, even though I am working in inches. This moves the increment to those base values:…

Make Package to find ALL links used by linked files themselves
Would be great if Packaging to into account all linked AI and PSD files and made sure those files and their links were included.
So when I create an AI file that links in another AI the links for that file are also included, or if a PSD is linked the links in that PSD are also included! And vice versa for PSD files that have linked AI files with PSD links in those said AI files...2 votes -
Allow to customize created dimensions more: move and style text, reposition lines, change units and scale, etc.
The functionality of the Dimension Tool needs to be improved. I think this tool should be made even more customizable. Example: Numbers and fonts should be able to move, rotate, change its style (add stroke or box it). We need to be able to easily change the units of measurement directly in the settings of the tool itself. Also lines with dimensions should be able to move arbitrarily (up and down) with Direct Selection Tool.

変数のデータセット名をCSVからインポートできるようにして下さい。
変数の機能はとても便利なのですが、インポート時にデータセットの名前を任意のものにできないので不便です。現状だと、自動的にデータセット名1、データセット名2、データセット名3....というような名前が設定されます。これでは実際に選択するまでなんのデータなのかわかりません。
現状はイラストレーター上で一つ一つ変更するか、XMLでダウンロードして名前を変更しなければならず、不便なので、よろしくお願いいたします。2 votes -
Allow to change transparency/opacity with digit (number) keys, as in Photoshop
Photoshop allows us to start typing numbers and thus change the opacity for the selected layers. If we are fast enough, we can type something like '57' and Ps takes it as 57%. Pressing zero makes it 100%.
There is no way to disable this in Ps... and it doesn’t allow to use digits keys for any other command or a tool.
Ai allows to map digits just fine (and 1 and 2 are used for Quick Pen Tool currently), and it also allows to map keys to opacity values in Keyboard Shortcuts > Tools — although these are not…

When Altering and Saving an Existing File on Your Computer, the Item's Time Stamp Should Update
Standard functionality is to update the folder details time stamp for any changes made, so it is easy to find the most recent files, etc.
Today, the file only lists its original creation date and does not update its time stamp when changes are saved.
Thank you

ファイルごとに「スクリーン用に書き出し」プレフィックスが保存される機能
1.説明
Illustratorの「スクリーン用に書き出し」につけられるプレフィックスをaiファイルごとに保存できるようにしてほしい。
プロジェクトAのaiファイルを編集→プロジェクトA用のプレフィックスで書き出し
プロジェクトBのaiファイルも続けて編集→書き出し→プレフィックスだけAになるのが困る。2.ファイル管理が楽になる、プロジェクトをまたぐ作業のときにミスが減る。

Automatically name artboards based on the file name
Can we have a feature like, when creating a new artboard, the artboard named automatically as per the file name rather than naming it a default - Artboard number.

Can Dimension tool measure angles for open intersecting paths?
I'm finding it frustrating that it appears that the Dimension tool will not give me angles from open shapes, i.e. 2 intersecting lines.
Am I doing something wrong for is this something anyone else is experiencing?2 votes -
A way to make a pattern's location match where it was originally created instead of aligning with the ruler origin
I like to use large patterns to create effects like "rays centered on a focal point of the image" in my artwork. Or to work around the fact that clipping masks can't have complex appearance stacks. These sort of patterns work best when they are precisely aligned to the artwork.
Currently the workflow to do this is as follows:
- Create some art to be a pattern that aligns with some important part of my drawing. Select it and do Object > Pattern > Create.
- Give it a name and close the pattern creation window.
- Make a large rectangle with this…

Allow to have zero extension value for the Extension Lines for Dimensions
For some reason there is a minimal value we can set for extensions above the dimension line — 0,01 pt.
I want it to be zero.2 votes -
Gradient across open stroke should 'run around' round caps
I think the gradient across a stroke with a round cap should "run around" the cap at the end of the open stroke (see a screenshot).

寸法ツールの補助線を付けない
寸法表示を｢付けない｣モードが欲しいです。
現状では｢補助線を隠す｣項目がありますが、アピアランス分割して非表示オブジェクトの解除をすると補助線が現れてしまいます。
作成する図面の都合上、補助線があると困るので｢隠す｣ではなく｢付けない｣選択肢が欲しいです。

Allow to create a new file from a selection on canvas or Layers
Can't create new files from layers or groups, gotta select everything and create a file, instead of just creating an artboard from by the file dimensions copied.

"Show me the offending object" button in the appearance error dialog for [IABD] and [!out] errors
