1. Linking dxf/dwg

   This might be very wishfull thinking...

   I am an architect, and use CAD to make plan drawings, and illustrator to make them look good (adjusting lineweight, stroke, color and so on). But if i make an updated drawing in CAD, i have to do everything all over again in Illustrator. It would be awsome if illustrator was able to give a specific layer a specific lineweight/stroke/color etc... and was able to update this on its own!

2. Allow a new feature to resize workspace so the page doesn't get hidden behind the dock

   Several of us on Adobe Forums experience the same issue for many years. Often times the workspace window gets hidden behind the dock, or even below the visible area of the monitor, there is currently no way to adjust this. I am trying to resize the window of my current workspace and I cannot. Bottom right corner not visible. It's a shame that after 18 years of using this application we still have basic issues like this. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thank you so much.

3. 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!

4. More Export options

   It would be awesome if the export formats had a couple more custom/individual settings like:

   • Active (checkbox)
   • Subfolder Name
   • Prefix (like the Suffix) and maybe a couple more under a setting panel for the one format like Lowercase etc :)

5. Layer freezing

   When doing very complicated artwork, sometimes Illustrator's live preview starts to become impossibly slow. Distorted dense fill patterns, lots of art brushes full of translucent shapes, complicated high-res bitmap effects… I can do some stunning things with these but I’m reluctant to use them, because I need to have fast response time in my drawing tool.

   Currently, layers can be locked, or unlocked. I would like to have a third mode: 'frozen', where the layer is locked, and a bitmap of the entire layer is cached. This bitmap is then used for rendering the preview, until such time as the layer is unfrozen.

   I imagine this being invoked by shift- or control-clicking on the layer's visibility eye in the layers palette; the eye would be replaced by a snowflake or some other indication of it being 'frozen'.

   Frozen bitmaps are not saved along with the rest of the file; they’re regenerated when you load it.

   (This idea shamelessly swiped from the late lamented Expression, which let me play around with natural media effects at workable speed back around 2005.)

6. Placeholder Spot Color Swatch Assigned in Illustrator Then Defined in InDesign (and other Adobe Apps - especially AE and Premier)

   This would be a joint effort between AI and INDD. But being able to assign a spot color swatch placeholder to a graphic like any other spot swatch (with tint support) that can then be assigned via the links panel in InDesign.

   Often I need to color coordinate graphics with a document I am building in InDesign. I typically do this by either generating multiple artboards or layers with the variations I need. But sometimes for one-off projects or projects where there may need to be many variations it just makes the AI file much more cumbersome to deal with.

   If I could assign a spot color in AI and then in INDD alter/adjust that color definition (ideally per instance but even just per link) that would be awesome. Then it would export and be read by Acrobat or other RIP software as if it was the spot color I assigned.

   Additionally this placeholder functionality should pass through when saved as an Illustrator native PDF (.ai.pdf files are so much more versatile in InDesign than .ai files)

7. Add a 'Single Midpoint Anchor' Tool in Illustrator

   Request: Add a tool or command that allows users to add a single anchor point precisely at the midpoint of any selected path segment without affecting the entire shape.

   Why It’s Needed: Illustrator currently lacks an intuitive way to place an anchor point exactly between two existing anchor points. The "Add Anchor Points" command applies to all segments, and the Smart Guides often fail to indicate an accurate midpoint. Manually calculating coordinates is impractical.

   Suggested Implementation:

   • A new "Add Midpoint Anchor" option in Object > Path that works on a single segment.

   • A modified behavior in the Pen Tool (P) or Add Anchor Point Tool (+) that automatically snaps to the true midpoint of a selected path segment.

   • A shortcut key (e.g., Shift + Click with the Add Anchor Point Tool) that forces an anchor to be placed at the segment’s exact center.

   This is a basic function that would streamline workflows for designers working with precise vector geometry. Other software, such as Affinity Designer, already offers this feature.

8. Optimization of Vector Assets in CC Libraries

   When you're dragging an Illustrator asset in a CC Library, the asset is placed in a default New Document Profile which come with Default document Libraries such as Swatches, Symbols, Graphic Styles and Brushes.

   In my screenshot example the file size of simple shapes is 355 ko in place of 74 ko without these unused assets.

   It will be great to base the CC Libraries Vector Assets creation on an "empty of default assets" Document Profiles (RVG, CMYK…).

   Thanks for the great work the Team is doing!

9. Symmetric Curve while using Pen Tool

   As in Corel Draw if we are using a "Three point curve tool" we can make it a symmetric circular shape curve by simply pressing the shortcut "SHIFT" key.
   I think it should be in illustrator with the pen tool. We could make it circular by pressing any shortcut key. as most of the time symmetric circular curves are required instead of simple smooth curves.

10. New Tool Suggestion: Color Harmony Tool

    I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to propose the development of a new Color Harmony Tool for Adobe Illustrator. As a designer who frequently uses Illustrator for creating artwork, I believe such a tool would greatly enhance the creative process by facilitating better color combinations and harmonies.

    Problem: Illustrators and designers often face challenges in selecting and maintaining color harmonies within Adobe Illustrator. While the existing color tools are robust, they could benefit from integrated features specifically tailored for creating and managing color harmonies.

    Proposed Solution: Introduce a dedicated Color Harmony Tool that offers:

    Predefined Color Schemes: Access to classic color harmony rules such as complementary, triadic, analogous, and more.
    Customizable Harmonies: Ability to create and save custom color palettes based on user-defined harmony rules.
    Real-time Preview: Instant visualization of how selected colors interact within the artwork.

    Benefits:

    Enhanced Creativity: Facilitates exploration and application of harmonious color schemes, fostering more aesthetically pleasing designs.
    Improved Efficiency: Streamlines the color selection process with intuitive tools that save time and effort.
    Consistency: Helps maintain color consistency across projects and ensures cohesive design outcomes.

    Implementation Details:

    The tool could be integrated into Illustrator's Color panel or as a standalone feature, accessible from the toolbar.
    Compatibility with Illustrator's existing color management tools to ensure seamless integration and user familiarity.

    Conclusion: By incorporating a Color Harmony Tool into Adobe Illustrator, you would provide designers with a powerful resource for creating visually compelling artwork while enhancing workflow efficiency.

    Thank you for considering this proposal. I believe this tool would greatly benefit Illustrator users and contribute to Adobe's continued leadership in creative software innovation.

11. Automatically restore Type Character panel settings

    When entering text, sometimes we modify settings in the Character panel.
    For example, to type CO2 (carbon dioxide) correctly, we select the '2' and enable "Subscript" on it.
    What is very annoying is that this custom setting ("Subscript" in above example) remains enabled the next time we enter some completely different text elsewhere and we always have to go back and first fix the setting in the Character panel.

    Feature suggestion:
    Changes made to the "Character panel" should automatically reset to "default" once the text block editing is completed (or before starting editing some new text elsewhere).

12. Overwriting Existing Workspaces and Toolbars

    If I wanted to update my custom Workspace, I can create a new Workspace and give it the same name as before. When I do that, I am warned that the name already exists, and that clicking 'OK' will overwrite the old one. This is great. But if I try the same process for updating a custom Toolbar, it makes me choose another name. Then I have to remember where these files are stored in the Finder, go to that location, delete the old Toolbar, and rename the new one. Please make the process for updating an existing Toolbar as simple as updating an existing Workspace.

14. Allow to actually drag-n-drop swatches on canvas to create a Swatch Info object

    Von Glitschka originally requested this here — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40192993 — but instead we got a buried menu command we can’t assign to a hotkey (here’s a request about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49612313)

    Please allow to create these with the actual drag-n-drop!
    Make it so we can hold a modifier key while doing this to have a dialog (and do it silently by default instead).
    Allow to add dragged swatches into the existing Swatch Info objects, highlight the exact positions these are going to be added, on canvas.

15. Improve Library Panel UX with prefered behaviour options

    There are a number of small changes that would make getting things out of the library quicker and more convenient. The panel should have some preferences to set default behaviour. Options should include:

    • Toggle 'place copy' or 'place linked file', so it always behaves one way or the other. The way my team and I use the library, we ALWAYS want to place copies (never linked files). So having to hold down ALT to do this is a pain. In addition to this, holding down ALT behaves very badly. It misses the key press if you move too quickly, meaning you HAVE to delay, even on a fast computer. Removing the need to do this would be ideal.

    • Toggle swatch conflict resolution between 'always merge swatches', 'always add swatches', and 'choose per item': I ALWAYS want to merge swatches, and the extra mouse point and click on “merge swatches”, “OK” <repeat> for every single item, let alone batch items brought in together wastes time. Just let me set it once and forget about it!

    • for multiple imported items, make it optional whether or not to place each item individually (point and click, as per current behaviour), or to simply dump the whole lot all at once at the location of the cursor where the user released the mouse button.

    • make it optional whether to add an extra group around the imported item, or to simply name the item itself as-imported with the name in the library panel (without an extra group around it).

16. 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

17. Sticky swatches, patterns, gradients, brushes and symbols.

    I get so very tired of having to re-create what I've made or added earlier, or find the original file that contains things I've created earlier. It's starting from zero every time I open a new file.

    It would be so nice to have things I added to panels be there for the next file.

    There are several options to make resources sticky.

    1. Save your swatches/brushes/etc. library as user defined one on a disk, using the dedicated panel’s menu. Open each then from same menu in User Defined sub-folder. When the separate palette appears, mark is as Persistent in this panel’s menu, This will make these palettes stick after Illustrator relaunches.

    2. You can locate document profiles (Print.ai, Web.ai, etc.) on your machine (in New Document Profiles folder), edit their predefined presets, and resave them. This will make every new document based on these profile to have your resources.

    3. Save a current document with the resources as a template, and later call them File > New from template. This will fixate the artboards settings though, unlike method 2.

    But be careful with methods, because Ai can reset document profiles when updates.

18. A Node View mode for the Appearance panel, and a complete revamp of what it can do

    I feel like I have a lot of things I want changed about the Appearance palette that cannot be done in the form of a one-dimensional list of effects.

    I'd like to suggest something inspired by the "node view" in programs like Blender or Toon Boom or Unreal. Give me a 2d canvas upon which I can arrange strokes, fills, and effects, and let me plug them into each other in complex ways. Let me control exactly when a brush is applied to a stroke by moving its effect around. Let me dynamically generate an opacity mask for an entire object, and another one for three of the seven fills and strokes I have on it. Let me generate complex pieces of plumbing that do crazy things based on me drawing one simple path.

    Keeping the Appearance palette around and adding a new Appearance Nodes palette would be fine. Or it could be a new mode in the existing palette. It's also perfectly fine if the existing Appearance palette can't edit Appearance Nodes and just displays a polite apology. There's a simplicity to the existing palette that might be worth retaining, I dunno, when it gets to the point of being in a beta, ask people how they'd feel about losing the old one, and be aggressive about hunting for ways it might break existing appearance stacks - ask us for our craziest piles of native and plugin effects and build a nice set of test cases!

    I am probably asking a lot here. This is feels like a big enough change to be one of the top features of an entire release. Possibly even more. It'll probably involve changing some assumptions that are made deep in the parts of Illustrator nobody understands any more. And it's entirely for the most hardcore users, who're using it in the most esoteric ways. Good luck convincing the people who control the budget that a significant part of Illustrator's development budget for a year or three should be devoted to something that's got zero noob appeal.

    But after about a decade of exploring its possibilities, I'm constantly butting up against the limitations of the Appearance palette. It's time for something to change.

And probably get animation capabilities and some amount of 3d into the bargain. I dunno. I'm fifty years old and I've loved using this program as my main art tool for half my life.

19. Align

    Align should

    Automatically align to artboard if only 1 object is selected.
    Align to the last object selected when selecting multiples.
    Keyboard shortcuts. Like Corel
    Center key that aligns vertically and horizontally.
