1. Image export both type and art optimized

   For exporting web banners, my routine is to export one image art optimized and one image type optimized, aftwerwards stack them in Photoshop and unmask the type optimized version where text is visible.

   I would appreciate an option of "art and type" that automatically interprets the type as type and the images as images so that I can skip the whole process after the export.

2. 9-point magnetic object-to-grid (or-grid to-object) without smart guides

   Could you consider a feature used in Esko Graphics (Artpro) for the placement of objects (9-point grid) to a crosshair or placing a crosshair to an object. This would expand current align and artboard functions into one clean and user friendly feature. Would also improve functions such as Mirror, Scale, Paste in place, copying to correct location across various files even if rulers are not set the same. For more details see: http://docs.esko.com/docs/en-us/artpro
   I can expand on this for you on request. Might answer a lot of similar requests into one new feature!

4. Mirror Buttons

   Mirror buttons (vertical and horizontal) directly on the control bar.
   Also, implement this feature in Photoshop.
   ...instead of "image/transform/flip..." overtime we need to mirror an image.

5. Blend objects aligned to path and keep bounding boxes at ends straight so they don't distort

   Blend objects aligned to path and keep bounding boxes at ends straight so they don't distort. Have to make many long paths of wire shapes and to keep them aligned on the path the first and last keep distorting so I can't edit or reuse for a slightly different curve.

6. Leading / Line Height calculator (more Auto options)

   Illustrator now offers 120% as the default leading value.
   Changing it requires you to go to Justification dialog within the Character panel.
   The setting is global for the document.
   Changing the default value for all new documents requires editing [Normal Paragraph Style] in proper Document Profile (and default ones are reset every time Ai updates).

   Typography often requires more variety than just a value relative to font size.
   In real projects we have to calculate leading / line height based on line width, x-height... and also background, color, the font itself.

   While Ai hardly can do it all on its own (and it shouldn’t even try), having a way to quickly calculate a suitable leading / line height of an area type based on container’s dimension and the font size.

   Super wide lines (relative to font height) require more vertical space to help the eye to find the next line.

   Ultra short lines can have 100% or even smaller values.

   Obviously we don’t need these to be adjusted all the time we change the size of a container, and we don’t need it for each container in a document — unless we choose it. This should work as an option and a one-time operation.

7. Moved and pasted objects keep thrown off by 0.0001 pixels

   I'm trying to copy, paste, then merge items. However, the pixels keep getting thrown off by .0001 pixels. Even when I put it back in place, it moves back to .0001 px above or below the actual coordinate. I already spoke to a team that did not do anything about it. This has been costing me literally over 100 hours of wasted time. I now give up and can't sleep knowing my pixels are not rounded to the nearest desired coordinate. Somebody for the love of God fix the **** bug. It's super duper annoying, especially for the OCD and lack of merging capabilities when the numbers don't align.

8. Smart objects (opened from Photoshop) should have the same name as their Photoshop layer

   I'm working on a complicated digital twinning pipeline which involves a lot of nested smart objects within Photoshop files.

   Oftentimes these smart objects are merely white text and it's difficult to distinguish between them when several are open at the same time.

   The problem is compounded because illustrator simply refers to each object that I open as "Vector smart object". Having several open at the same time quickly becomes difficult to manage. I believe, too, that Photoshop is sometimes unable to launch a particular smart object in illustrator because of a clashing "Vector smart object" 'file name' instance.

   It would help greatly if the Smart Object's filename - when opened in illustrator - mirrored the Photoshop layer name from which it was launched.

9. Make the Illustrator Home Screen Responsive

   Problem:
   Right now, the Home screen is center-justified and fixed-width. On wide monitors, this creates huge blank space between the left sidebar and the file previews. Even worse, recent projects are hidden off-screen until the app window is stretched far enough. They don’t wrap, resize, or scroll, they just vanish.

   Why this sucks:
   Users with wide displays waste massive amounts of screen real estate.
   Important files appear to be “missing” unless you manually widen the window.
   The layout looks like an old webpage centered in a box, not professional software.

   Screenshots attached:
   Welcome screen: can’t see all projects unless window is widened.
   Expanded window: giant blank void in the middle, wasted space.

   Request:
   Left-align the project thumbnails with the sidebar.
   Allow thumbnails to wrap or scale to fit the window.
   Add scrollbars if content exceeds the viewport, instead of hiding files.
   (Optional) Give users the ability to choose how the grid is anchored: left, center, or responsive.

   This would make Illustrator feel modern and stop punishing users with large/wide monitors.

10. Jump to art-board and word being spell checked.

    Please add the option to jump to art-board being spell checked please.

    I often use up to 50 x A4 art-boards with abbreviations and technical text that I need to closely spell check in context within its paragraph. I can't even see which art-board is being checked when using multiple art-boards, as it is.
    Jumping to art-board would make work so much easier. Please add this option.

11. Image Trace Default black and white preset is grayscale after expanding

    When you Image Trace, using the default black and white tracing preset and expand - the black and white are grayscale. When you double click the fill in the toolbar to choose a new color for the black or white, the resulting color is a shade of gray. Then, you have to go to the Color panel and change the sliders to a different color model to be able to see the color you chose. It would be easier if the black and white were aligned with the document color mode, RGB or CMYK instead. You don't encounter this issue if you apply color from a saved swatch, only when using the color picker.

14. your default workspace is completely off point of the tools illustrators need close at hand

    hey, folks, I've been using Illustrator continuously (and intensely) since 1987. Every time I make a transition to a new Mac and load a fresh copy of the Creative Suite, I'm frustrated by the task of rebuilding the essential palette of tools that need to be close at hand in Illy for max productivity — color, stroke, character, align + pathfinder, layers . . . your out-of-the-box defaults have it all wrong. Makes me wonder: do any of you people actually use this product for making stuff in the day to day? And good god, please stop with the scrubby zoom default. Zoom to a marquee is SO much more accurate and efficient!

15. User Friendly Subscription Services

    Change the subscription model from yearly to monthly as default. In it's current state, the basic subscription is misleading. It claims it's monthly but locks you into a yearly contract. There are two ways to fix this.

    1. Use an honest model that is fully monthly with no contracts.

    or..

    1. Create better easy to read text that clarifies if the subscription is monthly or yearly.

    Please fix the subscription services to better reflect their intentions.

17. Add a way for us to scale multiple fonts at the same time.

    For example, I'm working on a document and I have a header, sub-headers, and paragraph text that are all different font sizes. I would like for there to be a way to incrementally, increase all fonts selected, no matter the selection.

    Also, incrementally increasing/decreasing a group of fonts that are selected along with other layers should have no effect on other layers.

    A prime example of where this feature would be useful is if I were designing a report or a table and I want to increase the font size in the header and line items without selecting each layer individually. I build complex reports by hand in illustrator, it allows me to break down information for clients in a way that they can understand, and it's also fun.

18. Data feature within illustrator

    It is possible to merge data from excel, but it would also be a fantastic feature to have an excel feature within illustrator. You can fill a table with datasets and link the data to elements multiple times in different artboards. To change an element everywhere you just need to change it in the table (like objects, but only the data). So several different text boxes and different links to imported images can be edited at once. Would be a great feature for all different sizes for Social Media posts. You set up several different sizes change the content once and the content is updated in 16 different artboards in different sizes with different artboard names. Export everything at once and you're ready to go. Huge time saver for our team.

19. Golden Ratio Option in the Character Panel

    I would like to suggest adding a Golden Ratio option to the Character Panel for selected typefaces. This feature could help users easily establish a clear visual hierarchy by automatically calculating proportional font sizes for headings, subheadings, and body text.

    Such an addition would streamline the process of creating balanced and aesthetically pleasing typography, ensuring that readers can quickly and intuitively distinguish between various text levels.

    Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would be a valuable tool for designers aiming to achieve professional and harmonious typographic layouts.
