  1. Export for screens missing slice selection feature from Save for Web

    Export for Screens seems to be missing a few things to be able to replace Save for Web (Legacy), which is a strong limitation since Export for screens have features Save for web doesn't: Support for exporting multiple scales / resolutions , which is a must in 2022 with responsive images on the web.

    One area it is lacking in is support for slices (by priority):
    1. Be able to export only a selected slice
    2. Be able to split up export for screens based on slices

  2. Apply colour mode to different artboards

    It would be great to have a feature where we can change colour modes for different artboards. This is extremely helpful in today's digital world, where we are working on Brand Identity design that involves the use of logo and colour palette extensively in print and digital media. This will help keep one master file for an extensive brand identity work and makes it easy to compare between CMYK and RGB colours/designs.

  6. Turn any object into an eraser head.

    You can quickly delete everything inside/outside an object. Right click could make it rotate while moving. Make the option to leave a fill underneath and create a new object. I think it is time to move on from just a circle. Maybe this could belong to the shaper tool.

  7. [3D & マテリアル]でも押し出しのべベルの方向を外側にできるようにしてほしい。

    新しい3D機能[3D & マテリアル]でも押し出しのべベルの方向を外側にできるようにしてほしい。「3D(クラシック)」のべベルには内側か外側か選べるオプションが有りました。同じオプションを新しい「3Dとマテリアル」にも付けていただきたい。このオプションがないと、文字オブジェクトから金属活字のような物体を作成できません。(内側にしかできないので細くなってしまう)実にもったいない。

  8. Layers panel dimensions dynamically resize, or have tools cling to bottom of layers list

    When I open a layer, the layer list is quite long so I need a tall panel. However when they're collapsed it's a much shorter list and suddenly the trashcan button is super far away from where I'm working in the layers. It would be nice if the panel automatically resized to keep the toolbar near the list, or otherwise have the toolbar cling to the bottom of the layers list so it's easily accessible when working in that panel. The dynamic resizing would also be helpful when you have the panel sized to be shorter, and open a layer,…

  10. Allow to choose delimiter in Variables

    Hi, I need to have the ability to upload a tab separated csv file in the variable window. In Mexico we use commas instead of dots to separate the thousands, that generates a bad reading of the data set. Thanks

  12. Convert fractions to decimals within the program, not just the new file dialogue box: 116-7/8" to 116.875 in.

    We work with various large format sizes given with fractions, but the programs run off decimals. The New file dialogue box will convert them, so why can't this be added to the number fields for artboard and object sizes? Similar to how we can use the "/" to divide by a number when working at 1/4 scale or 1/2 scale.

  13. Adapt Dark Title bar in dark mode in Illustrator for Windows

    The existing title bar is white, enabling dark title bar will help us get a more unified UI.

    The Technology Path

    Since Windows 10 1809, Microsoft has provided an API for modifying only the color of the window title bar.

    The method reference is
    stackoverflow.com/questions/39261826/change-the-color-of-the-title-bar-caption-of-a-win32-applicatio...

    Documentation see
    docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwmapi/ne-dwmapi-dwmwindowattribute 3

    At the same time, this API does not affect compatibility with older versions, and on Windows 7 or earlier versions of Windows, the API will not work and will not cause strange errors.

  14. Rename Anchor Points

    Say you want to apply the 3D (Classic) Rotate effect to a complex illustration but you have a rogue anchor point that causes this message: An unknown error occurred. Click MORE INFO and try some of the solutions to fix the issues.

    It has taken me many hours to figure out that a single anchor point (that is neither part of a shape or a path) is the most-likely cause of this error message. I work very clean, but rogue anchor points happen occasionally and it's incredibly frustrating to find.

    The solution is to search through all your objects and…

  15. Adobe illustrator is running slow for no reason

    I have been using adobe illustrator for more than a year on my vurrent laptop and i never had problems (acer nitro 517-52 GTX1650Ti I5). I have updated my graphic drivers and illustrator too.

  17. Apply arrowheads with eyedropper

    When using the eyedropper tool on a line, I would like the arrowheads from the line I am imitating to be applied to the selected line. I don't want to scroll through all the arrowhead options for every line! If I apply it once, It'd be so much easier to eyedrop that same feature on all the other lines I need it for.

    This is something I would use for my job while making tech packs every day! I have arrowheads on the ends of dimensions and callouts.

  18. Linking issue, always linked together after copying

    Illustrator : After copying artboards, it's still linked to the previous one, meaning whatever I do to the 2nd one, the 1st one effects too.
    After Effects : After copying the composition, it's still ..... (the same thing happens).

    So I'd suggest if we have the option to link or not to (which means choose to be the same as the previous one we copied or not).
    Because I am beating around the bush, just to adjust the current one that I've copied.

    Thank you so much! Vielen Dank! Xie xie!

  19. Speed up Redraw with All Thumbnail Options on One Button

    Switching off thumbnails for improved draw speed means switching various options and locations to get the layer, object and transparency thumbs all switched off. Working many customer files per day this is a drag.

    Please put them all on one "thumbs" radio button with options for all-on, all-off, or custom preference, so I can get my work done faster.

    Make this an application preference rather than document preference to save me even more time.
