1. Allow to control font for Swatch Info objects

   Well... if one wants to choose font size for text in Swatch Info objects while making one — tough luck. We can only set the color chip size.

   Since Preview is completely missing now (here’s the request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49681244), it’s hard to evaluate if text would be large enough to accompany them.
   Even if you change the font size after the Swatch Info is created — won’t do, each text line is a separate type objects, their leading won’t be adjusted, the card background rectangles won’t adapt!

   One can think this font is based on the [Normal Paragraph Style], and we can tweak it (beforehand!) to set the font size...
   But it’s only half-truth. While the font family and the font style indeed follow the style, the font size is always 10 points.

   So, team, if you look how people in different tutorial videos have to dance around this stupid limitation, to guess the card size to fit the font size relatively, and then scale the whole object... I hope you will fill shame at least.

   If you are afraid to overload new users with controls in the dialog — at least make an option to scale font size to fit color chip size... or make it a relative value even.

   Ai Beta now offers dedicated controls for the font inside of Swatch Info objects

2. Composite fonts with Chinese, Korean fonts

   Composite fonts (East Asian type option) only shows Japanese typefaces for CJK text elements. It would be nice to be also able to typeset CJK texts in Chinese/Korean typefaces to reflect regional differences in CJK character forms.

3. 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?

4. Clicking on a "Corner" type before dragging corner nodes should stick to the selected corner type

   For text, when you open the Character menu and change an option, it "sticks" for when you type text the next time-- if this reverted back to default every time, it would become infuriating for sure.

   With the corner widget menu, shouldn't the menu buttons "stick" to a certain corner type for the next corner you select? I know you can use the arrow keys to go through the corner types each time you select a corner (which is useful) but for some workflows it is cumbersome.

6. .DXF compound shape support

   Illustrator doesn't seem to support exporting compound shapes in a .DXF file. Corel does so it must be possible. This lack of support means that you cannot have text in a DXF file.

8. Give us true list view for exporting artboards

   I would like an actual list view where artboards are in a list, show native dimensions, and any other meta that makes sense. Current multi column view truncates text and thumbnail size can't be scaled.

9. Type Automation/Modulation Tool

   A automation/modulation tool allows type to be edited based off different parameters. (ex. typewriter function that allows more ink bleed onto random letters on a body of type). Similar to music production automation/modulation in that there would be values from 0-100 and then those settings could have a parameters (ex. setting the bounds of the automation from value of 80-100 and then having the ability to randomize that automation between those values). The highlighted text that needs automation/modulation would have a separate window with a linear grid to adjust each individual character and a drop down menu of what parameter is being affected. Then using a specific pen tool you would be able to draw in the value for each character or pick a value set and a percentage of how much modulation is wanted. Each character of text could then be adjusted for fine tuning. Example attached is from logic pro. The other example is a piece of text from a type writer to show the subtle differences of each character typed to give a body of work more of a human like touch. This could be streamlined for all adobe products with text

10. Vector Networks Like Figma Has

    In illustrator vector shapes can only go in one continuous path. If you wanted to draw a cube, it would take 3 shapes, perfectly aligned and 12 points, 6 of which would overlap.
    In a vector network a point can have multiple branches meaning that a cube could be one shape, with only 7 points (see image).
    This feature would eliminate the need for complex shape overlays to create simple compositions, like a cube.

11. Non-destructive clipping mask options

    An option where you take a whole object or group and use it's whole area(including strokes) as a clipping mask for other layers. Similar to what you can do in Photoshop.

    So you can create for instance, a shape with stroke and set it as the clipping mask for an underlying texture. Without the need to flatten it, so you can experiment with it, or keep a text live for later editting it.

    Or have multiple shapes working as the clipping mask while you are choosing the appropriate combination or later need to adapt to a different format.

13. Optimization of Rounded Rectangle in Illustrator Effects

16. Automatic spell check (similar to InDesign)

17. Add CSS color styling option to OpenType-SVG specification, so font colors may be altered in Illustrator

    Currently, OpenType-SVG color fonts come with pre-defined colors.

    To provide glyphs in different shades, additional stylistic sets need to be added to the font, bloating it tremendously.

    I propose to add the ability to OpenType-SVG to have certain colors of a glyph being overwritten by the application (e.g. Illustrator), so text colors can be applied to a range of glyphs just like it's done with standard monochrome glyphs.

    To do so, OpenType-SVG should be able to export a set of color reference names, referenced within the glyph's SVG. An application may then assign alternate colors to those color references, so the glyph will render using these colors.

    For example, an OpenType-SVG glyph may look similar to this:

    (UserVoice scrambles my below code, so I attached a text file with the suggested SVG content.)

    ---

    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

    <style type="text/css">
      :root
      {
        --base-color: rgba(200, 10, 10, 1);
        --highlight-color: rgba(255, 70, 70, 1);
      }
    
      .gradient-fill
      {
        fill: url(#gradient) #000;
      }
    </style>
    
    <defs>
      <linearGradient id="gradient">
        <stop offset="0" stop-color="var(--base-color)" />
        <stop offset="1" stop-color="var(--highlight-color)" />
      </linearGradient>
    </defs>
    
    <polygon class="gradient-fill" points="0,0 100,0 0,66" />
    

    </svg>

    ---

    Illustrator's swatch for font color may then switch from a single swatch to a list of swatches, representing each of the CSS color variable values (see Properties panel illustration attached).

18. Edit Character properties in a mixed selection

    When having a complex set of objects selected, including one ore more Text Objects, it would be nice to have access to the Character/Paragraph properties.

    Current version simply ignores any changes when something else is selected besides a Text Object.

20. Transform Effect with manually adjustable anchor position

    The current Transform Effects has a very limited anchor position setup (that 9 squares in the bottom corner). To make a custom anchor position, we must input "horizontal" and "vertical" value manually which is very ancient.

    Rotation tool with Transform Again method is an alternative when creating a mandala thingy, but it if we want to alter the shapes, we have to repeat the rotation and transformation again, which is another ancient stuff.

    Adding a simple clicking right on the artboard for placing the anchor point of Transform Effects would be great. We can just set up the anchor point first manually (just like the rotation and transform again method), and then the Transform Effects follows where the anchor point is placed. This will be removing the labour of manually inputting the value of horizontal x vertical of the transformation.
