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 as precise, and only allowed by settings tens: 10%, 20, 30...
I assigned several I personally need, like the screenshot attached shows, but perhaps someone needs to have it exactly like Ps does it? Please comment why the approach above is not enough for you.

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 pattern, drag it around until it's aligned with the original. I have a script that helps with this in some cases but it doesn't work for every pattern.
- Create a Graphic Style to save this pattern-with-alignment.
- Create more patterns that need to align, do a super fiddly dance of cloning and editing that style to make new patterns that align properly.
I would like it to be this:
- 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. Turn on "pattern aligns with original art". Close the pattern creation window.
- Enjoy my magic swatch that contains a pattern precisely aligned with my art.
- Make some more patterns precisely aligned with my art. Use them as strokes or fills without any hassle.
I would really love it if patterns stored their initial location on the art/pasteboard (which they sort of seem to do, they definitely have a consistent location on the pasteboard when I edit them but sometimes it's way off on an edge for reasons I have never figured out), and if there was a switch on the Pattern window to let me choose between "pattern tiles from ruler origin" and "pattern tiles from art origin".
Attached: an example image that uses a lot of patterns. There's a bunch of fills and strokes in this that use very large patterns containing a large circle with a fat, dashed stroke.

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
I really would kinda love it if there was a "Show me the offending object" button on the "Error processing appearance" requestor next to the "OK" button.

Request: Add Custom Font Sizes to Text Size Dropdown in Illustrator
It would be great if Adobe Illustrator allowed users to save custom font sizes (such as 150pt, 200pt, etc.) to the default text size dropdown in the Character panel. Currently, while you can manually enter large font sizes, they don't appear in the dropdown for future use. Allowing custom sizes to be added to the dropdown would save time, improve workflow consistency, and make working with large text sizes more efficient. Thank you for considering this feature!

View Transparency Grid only in artboards
Like other users I've encountered here, I find the whole-window Transparency Grid to be a significant distraction. It'd be helpful to be able to at least opt to show the grid only within artboards, and even better to toggle the grid for specific artboards (see screenshot).

Put Apply to Selected button into Dimension Tool Options dialog
At the moment we can edit existing selected dimensions using Control or Properties panel (except for Scale!)
But if one chooses to open Dimension Tool Options dialog, all the settings won’t be applied to a selection, these would alter only dimensions created AFTER.
I’d like to have another button here, to allow me to apply chosen settings to what I have selected already, or perhaps even to All, similar to the Properties-only quick action button (this and others there should also be available via Object > Dimension menu the team 'forgot' to add: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378)
And so you know — there ARE tool dialogs that work like this.
Blend Options would change a selection (that’s why it should be a panel: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31988758), Gradient tool too (and it IS only a panel, with no REAL tool options, which is another overkill)...Some consistency and common sense, please.

Allow dimensions to be editable
It would be nice if the dimensions and lines were editable.
I generally build to scale because the dimensions of my projects to size are too big for the artboards and contain several larger elements. Having to enlarge each piece in order to get the proper measurements is time consuming and inconvenient. Being able to edit those would make things much easier. I have a script that can do it, but the tool would be better.2 votesLatest builds of Illustrator allow to edit most of created dimensions using Properties and Control panels.
The tool dialog sets options for new dimensions only and does not have a button to apply the set options to selected or all dimensions on canvas. If you wish to have a button like this in the dialog, please upvote this request.
If you have other weak points to point out — please comment or make a new request / report.

Illustrator Share For Review | "Actual Size" Page View
In share for review, the previews allow the viewer to change the page view to “Fit Window Width” or “Fit Full Page” in the lower-right corner.
We need an “Actual Size” view setting. It would solve issues such as unwanted enlargement of small designs and checking details on large designs.
BONUS: The ability to select a default view in our Share For Review settings would be the icing on the cake!
