Why is there a limit to number of spot/global swatches you can use in a gradient?
We use Illustrator for carpet design which includes complex grades using multiple colours.
As we reference colour poms it is easier to create named colour swatches to keep track of the colours used however we can only apply 27 to a gradient - can this limit be increased?1 vote -
Muovi oggetti bloccati o nascosti quando sposti le tavole da disegno
Sarebbe utile avere la funzione (selezionabile nelle preferenze) sposta oggetti nascosti o bloccati quando si spostano/ordinano le tavole da disegno.

Transparency for some objects when using 3D and Materials
When extruding an object, some parts within that group need to have some transparency. If I reduce the opacity of some 2D object parts before extruding, it is lost when rendering.
Honouring Opacity would be brilliant for me.1 vote -
Include "Juneteenth" in the Shared Adobe Dictionary
Juneteenth became an official US holiday last year and has been celebrated unofficially since at least 1886.
Shockingly though, the word is not in any Adobe dictionaries.
I propose adding it to the shared dictionary and pushing the update to all applications. I have tested this in multiple apps, and all show it as an error and suggest "Nineteenth" instead.
This is a critical DEI omission, especially this month.
Thanks.

Bring back selection tool shapes and straight lasso
Taking these selection tools away has slowed down my work....I REGRET updating!
I used to be able to use the box selection tool to make square and rectangle shaped edits, there was a circle and pointed selection tool AND there was a straight line lasso WHY DID YOU REMOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 voteThe tools you are describing exist in Photoshop. There were never tools like these in Illustrator, you must be confusing these two apps together.
However, I think Ai could benefit from having circular marquee and polygonal lasso, so please upvote this, if you want to see them developed.

Colour Book/Pantone Swatches to remain in Custom Workspaces
Hi - is there a way to have custom colour books/Pantone swatches to save in a custom Workspace? I have to keep adding them again each time I restart Illustrator, and it's a bit of a pain! Thanks!
1 voteSwatch libraries can be made persistent via their panel’s menu. Look into comments for details.

Incorporate a shortcut inside gradient's panel
I would like to suggest to incorporate the shortcut D for "reset" the 2 initial colors inside the gradient's panel to system standard colors (black and white). I usually use as a last step before finishing my artworks some shadows for a more realistic depth/aspect using black-to-white together with multiply. The D shortcut reset the main stroke and fill colors main swatches, so it would be a little bit faster if the software understands the D as this way while it's working on gradient's setup windows.

Manipulating Guides
If two guides are selected, the "Distance" option can be selected by right-clicking. In an extra window, the first or second selected guideline is set as the origin, as well as the axis on which the distance is to be manipulated and the value to be manipulated. It would also be useful if you could mirror guides along other guides by simply right-clicking.

Can’t save SVG with <desc> tags
I've recently updated my Illustrator to Version 26.3.1 and when i save out svg data it is no longer able to save out <desc> tags. Extremely detrimental problem for my pipeline. Please look into this issue since 26.2.1 will only be available until 2023. I have attached a photo of the issue demonstrated in Notepad++

Button to convert type to stroke.
Can you please create one button that converts type to single-line strokes? Then we can edit letters using the width tool, etc.
Right now it looks like the best option is to rasterize the type, and Image Trace single line. I know your team can make it easier than that because you're wizards.

More Eyedroppers
Sometimes I would like to just use the eyedropper for fill color instead of having it match everything. It would be cool if you have individual eyedropper tools for fill, stroke, font features, and one for everything.

Change Illustrator marker code from % to something no one would use, like tilde
You know... people REALLY USE the "%" symbol when making charts. We'd like to be able to use it when making live marker symbols, but we can't because that is the reserved symbol for markers. NO ONE would use a tilde since it can't be represented as a data point. Please change this and add functionality to add a suffix to numbers when used in a column marker. You REALLY need to bring charts into the 21st century... I feel like I'm still working in 1999.

3D page mockup
I'd love the ability to create an open brochure or magazine, or book mockup using the new overhauled 3d tools, but the tool is currently too limited. Seems to me that what is missing is the ability to bend or warp planes after they have been tilted and rotated. There are other ways of achieving this geometry, but they feel like hacks, and the new place graphic/material capability doesn't recognize the geometry that was partly made with other tools before getting into 3d. Please keep developing the 3D features in illustrator with product mockups in mind, including publication mockups.

Is there a way to change the state of the page information line when exporting from Illustrator to a PDF?
Is there a way to change the state of the page information line when exporting from Illustrator to a PDF.
We need it closer to the bleed box (or right on it) and much further to the left.
We need it closer to the bleed frame (or right on it) and much further to the left.
I can't find anything in Illustrator's settings (of course). This will probably be defined in some file. I would like to edit this file with an editor to adapt it to our needs. Or is that perhaps possible via a script?The background is…
