Export Oversampling
Problem:
- Often when exporting from AI at 1x scale the anti-aliasing quality is not optimal.
- My current workaround is to export at a larger size and downsample in PS. I typically require 1x and 2x sizes, so I will export at 4x and then choose a resampling algorithm based on the artwork.Goal:
- Imrpove the image quality of exported images from AIProposed Solution:
- Add ‘Oversampling’ as a per-scale export option, this could be done with the following parameters:
- Oversampling [toggle] : on, off
- Quality [combo] : 2x, 4x, 8x, etc.

Resources for Pen tool
Dear Sirs, Architects of Adobe Illustrator.
I am a user of this extraordinary program and I come to suggest that you create a resource so that the Pen tool can be used with the same resources as the Brush tool. That is, allowing us to expand through keyboard shortcuts and also be previously configured with Brush effects. It would make it much easier to create geometric designs, which are done more precisely with the Pen tool, but with predefined Brush strokes.
Thanks in advance for your attention,

Selecting layer selects artboard
I have been given an icons file that has 100+ icons, each on a separate artboards.
I can search (finally) for the item in Layers and select it, but it is not selecting or locating the artboard at the same time.
An alternative to this would be to have a search function on artboards.

CC Libraries on Illustrator Paste in Place in artboard
Could we get an option to save an artboard together with the group of items selected when we save to Libraries?
I mean instead of modifying the artboard size to fit all elements, libraries would save the size of the original artboard and all the items in it, including the items that bleed outside (as bleed marks).
2 - Would also be super useful to get an option to "paste in place" when pasting an item from the library into an artboard if the target artboard is the same size as the original artboard.
I will try to explain my…

Blending Modes and Transparencies in Search / Filter in Layers
Could you consider incorporating Blending Modes or transparencies as additional filters in the Layers panel's new search feature, which is currently assisting us in sorting by images, text, and more?

Default Swatches and Styles as part of New Document Dialog
The first thing I do every time I create a new document is delete all those default swatches and add my own. And those pattern swatches (e.g., "Jive," "Golden Ring," "Alyssa"), I am literally never going to use those.
And those quirky Graphic styles ("Jive_GS" etc). I am literally never going to use those either.
Ideally, I'd like to load up a document with its swatches, paragraph styles, graphic styles etc as part of the "new document" dialog. I can choose artboard size, bleed, margins, all kinds of things.
How about if I could pick swatch groups, paragraph styles, graphic…

Please add 'Recent' to the Scripts submenu
Please add 'Recent' to the Scripts submenu (just like in After Effects) - I use a few scripts over and over.

The Image Trace function can no longer pull fine detail. It has been ruined for me with new update.
I like to halftone images in photoshop and turn them into vectors in illustrator. With the changes made to Illustrator 2023, I can no longer do this, everything is overly blobby and it's just lost any ability to pull fine detail. Everything is oversimplified, and it is unusable for most of the style of work I do.

Nome dos pincéis sem padronização e mal formatados
As categorias de pincéis no Illustrator estão nomeadas de forma inconsistente e não padronizadas. Por exemplo, tem categorias ou nomes de pincéis que utilizam o espaço como separador de palavras, outros utilizam o underline para separar as palavras, e tem horas que o nome é escrito com iniciais maiúsculas e horas com iniciais minúsculas. Em resumo, não tem consistência na formatação dos nomes e isso dá uma sensação de desorganização e falta de revisão no software, pois é algo muito simples de corrigir. Enfim, é só uma sugestão para manter mais organizado e padronizado os nomes das categorias e pincéis.…

Ajuster l'origine sur le plan de travail
A rajouter dans le menu Objet /Plan de travail :
Ajuster l'origine sur le plan de travail sélectionnéEn choisissant cette commande le repère 0,0 des règles serait automatiquement ajusté en haut à gauche du plan de travail actif.
A envisager : passer par une fenêtre de dialogue qui affiche les 9 petits carrés que l'on trouve dans transformation et qui permettrait de choisir sur quel angle ou quel centre on veut caler les règles.
Cette fonctionnalité permettra de définir la position d'éléments ou de repères de façon rapide et précise par la saisie de valeurs numériques.

Pattern preview
Please add a feature for illustrator that is a pattern preview, such as in photoshop or affinity designer. Since illustrator is literally for patterns and illustrations, this feature should be in AI

After the last update, a lot of roughness appears in the image when I click "image trace".
"image trace" results are not as smooth as before.

Line Chart - make it possible to start line on value axis
I do often need the line to start on the value axis.
At this moment, I can't do this using the Chart-Tool, effectivly making these type of charts impossible to create without messing up the Chart by manually changing the axis.2 votes -
Shortcut/button for the "Enter isolation mode"-function
After Illustrator changed the place where to put pasted objects (before the objects where put in the selected layer, now the objects are put in a new layer at the top), I use the "Enter Isolations mode"-function a lot, to get the pasted objects the right place. I know there is a button, but it doesn't always show. So I would really like a shortcut for this function. Or make a button in the properties panel. Or both. Please.
2 votesDisabling 'Paste Remembers Layers' in the Layers panel’s flyout menu solved the problem with pasting in place into a selected layer, therefore a specialized hotkey to the layer isolation is no longer required for the user.
If you still need this hotkey — please comment.

If it Ain't broke, don't FIX
New Image Trace UI design is terrible. The old was perfectly fine. Designers rely on consistent tool set up so we can work FAST. Stop messing with my work flow. If it Ain't broke, don't FIX

Let Artboard/Fit to Selected Art work for Selected Guides too
When working on patterns, I often create a rectangle converted to a guide for the tile size.
Unfortunately Fit to Selected Art does not recognise a guide to fit to.
So I need to first release the Guide, then apply Fit to Selected art, and then make the Guide again.2 votes -
Export revisions only
When making minor updates to an existing presentation or pdf, option to "Export Revisions Only" to an existing file name or pdf - similar to Adobe Acrobat's new feature to detect changes between similar documents, this feature allows you export/update only the pages with revisions into an existing .pdf file. This saves a lot of export time when a client asks for several small revisions to a 10-20+ page presentation or document.

Option to assign chosen profile selection to all open documents in Missing Profile box
When opening a project, I frequently have to choose either not to colour manage or I have to assign a particular profile to the document due to working with a number of different print houses. As I can sometimes open 10-20 documents at a time to edit them, would it be possible to assign the designated choice to all open documents at the same time, i.e., have a selection box you can tick to 'Apply selected profile option to all open projects'?
Currently it is really laborious choosing the profile for each individual file as it opens.
