1. Center Pattern Command

   Draw a vector shape and fill with a pattern, notice this is not centered. To do this is a long meticulous process prone to error.

   https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2390290.

   Can we get an option in the Align panel to do this?

2. Make cursor instantly visible after jumping with arrows keys

   While navigating text with arrows (or Ctrl/Cmd + arrows), especially in short word clusters, something like these:
   mon-sun: 10:00–19:00
   break: 13:00–14:00
   it's quite hard to understand where cursor has landed after last jump, because cycle of blinking seem to stay the same or even elongate!
   There's a second after jump until cursor is finally drawn.
   Could you please add or fix it in such a way that cursor is immediately visible after any arrow jump?

3. Constraint needed for 'Transform Each' and 'Transform' effect dialogs

   Please add an option to constrain the horizontal and vertical values when scaling objects using 'Transform Each'.

   I almost always use 'Transform Each' to scale proportionally, and right now you have to manually set horizontal and vertical to the same value.

4. When outlining dotted lines with "aligns dashes", unnecessary anchor points are generated

   When dotted lines with “Aligns dashes to corners and path ends, adjusting lengths to fit” are outlined , unnecessary anchor points are generated in the circles at both ends.

   When performing detailed processing to create artwork, I sometimes outline dashed lines. So, unnecessary anchor points are an obstacle in such processing.
   Although there are workarounds, I hope that users will get clean outline results without any ingenuity.

   Workaround:
   (A)
   1.Double-click anywhere in the stroke with Width tool to add a new width point.
   2.Execute “Expand Appearance” , “Outline Strokes” or “Flatten Transparency”.

   (B)
   1.Drawing strokes in accurately calculated length with “Keep exact dash and gap length” .
   2.Execute “Outline Strokes” or “Flatten Transparency”.

   ---Japanese Translate---

   「コーナーやパス先端に破線の先端を整列」を有効にした丸い破線をアウトライン化すると、両端の丸に不要なアンカーポイントが生成されてしまいます。
   細かな処理を行うために破線のアウトライン化をする際、不要なアンカーポイントは作業の妨げになります。
   回避策はありますが、ユーザー側が工夫をしなくてもきれいなアウトライン結果が得られるようにするべきです。

   回避策：
   （A）
   1.「線幅ツール」でストロークのどこかをダブルクリックし、新しい線幅ポイントを追加する。
   2.「アピアランスを分割」、線をアウトライン」または「透明部分を分割・統合」を実行する。
   （B）
   1.線の長さを正確に計算してから「線分と間隔の正確な長さを保持」を使って破線を描画する

5. Export X, Y, W, H and angle to a text file or Excel format?

   Please add a feature to allow AI to export X,Y,W,H and angle to a text or Excel file.
   I have a need to get the coordinates and sizes of buttons (in pixels) for my Touch screen. After you design the image for LCD. You will need to know XYWH and angle for touch purpose. It will be good to have AI to send those information out to a file (not image).
   Thanks,

6. Add option to scale point type from the baseline, rather than bounding box

   It would be really useful to be able to scale text from the baseline - often I have text positioned in a layout and want to resize it, but as it scales from the bounding box it then requires lining up again.

   I'd suggest a tool that allows the user to scale from the text baseline. for multiline text there would probably need to be a way of selecting which line to scale from - maybe a first / last line toggle, and an option of placing a cursor and that would be the line to scale from?

   I know you can currently use the scale tool and click on the text anchor, but I find that really imprecise when working with small adjustments.

   The value would be time saving when iterating layouts, particularly with things where you're rebuilding artwork from reference and need to get type sized correctly and lined up.

   Cheers!

7. Please add option thickness and color options for the text cursor

8. To have an option in stroke panel to keep end points vertical/horizontal on angled strokes

   Would love an option to easily have the endpoint of a stroke remain vertical/horizontal when using angled strokes. To 'shear' a stroke isn't easy, so could this be an option in the Stroke panel?

9. Custom exposure time for hover tooltips for third-party developers

   A narrow enough request. At the moment developers can’t customize the time each hover tooltip gets displayed. When the text is long, it vanishes too soon.

10. Allow to disable or enable center points for all or specific objects types on creation

    With Area Type, if I use the text tool to highlight a word (for example, if I want to embolden the word), if I catch the centre point of the text box in the wrong way, Illustrator will assume that I want to create a new text box, which I don't. I know I can manually disable the centre point via the Attributes panel, but I need to set the centre point to OFF by default, and to my knowledge there is no way of doing this.

13. Replace or Delete Swatches should automatically re-color objects with new swatch

    I propose swatches have the function of applying new color to objects on the art board whenever a color needs to be replaced with a different color. Instead of simply deleting the current swatch, we should be prompted to "replace current color with new color?" then select the new color after adding it to the palette, then BAM! all the objects are automatically updated with the new color. (Example: art editor says that we will print only using 2 colors: black text with red headlines. I already have the art set using black and green. I could add the red swatch, then delete the green swatch and have all green headlines changed to red for me.)

16. Dedicated Persian Language Engine for Illustrator

    Persian-speaking users form a large and growing part of Illustrator’s user base. However, Persian text support still relies on the Arabic engine, which leads to issues in text rendering, alignment, and typography.
    Persian has unique typographic rules that differ from Arabic, and a dedicated engine is essential for proper layout and display.
    We request the development of a Persian-specific text engine to improve support and usability for millions of Persian-language users. I’m happy to provide examples if needed.
    Thank you!

17. Allow Custom Brick Offset Values in Pattern Maker

    The 9 fractions included in Brick Offset are not always enough to align patterns properly. When bricking a pattern, to achieve the acquired random look of a pattern, paths may need to be repeated just so it evenly fits within one of the fraction presets. The fractions are sometimes only off by a slight degree, that would be perfectly symmetrical if one were allowed the ability to adjust their own decimal chosen. Part of the confusion may also stem from complex patterns where they are difficult to update, as well as sorted fractions where Illustrator otherwise uses decimals. By size order they would be 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5 currently organized in the following order 6th, 1st, 2nd, 7th, 3rd, 8th, 4th, 5th, 9th. Perhaps fractions are more to show how the item would display and should be represented by a graphic, but where trying to slightly increment or decrement an offset, there is some math to be done since these are not sorted in sequential order either.

    Why not make all keyboard shortcuts the same across all Abobe Software.

    Example:
    In Illustrator there is no keybaord shortcut to convert text to caps, but in Indesign and Photoshop its Command.****,K

    There are lots keyboard short cuts that are different it would be really amazing if they where all the same across all applications

20. Make objects in Objects on Path to reposition relative to one set as a key object

    Align and Distribute operations in Illustrator support picking a key object, by clicking on of the objects in a selection, so it get a thicker edge. This object stays in place, while every other in a selection aligns or distributes relative to it.

    Sadly, this 'key object' paradigm is largely unloved in other areas, but it's also neglect in new Objects on Paths construct.
    While it does not support setting a target path with it (requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48988013), it also does not allow to 'fix' one object on path as adjust gaps relative to this fixated object.

    What we have now is an ability to hold Opt/Alt, to scale gaps relative to the center of the array... but with key object support it would be even cooler!
