1. Creative Cloud Documents - File Management

   I think one of the most important facilities for making good use of Cloud Docs will be document management. I have been extremely frustrated by the total lack of such features in the recent Document Open interface, which just lists some very small number of recent docs, without any consideration of folders, projects, clients, or other important organizational features. The OS provides us with hierarchical folders that can do a fairly good job of organizing the dozens (sometimes hundreds) of files on a project or for a client, but without some facilities for that purpose, I can see the proliferation of dozens (hundreds?) of cloud docs, now encompassing multiple Adobe applications, turning into a nightmare of disorganization.

   The basis of any file management system has to be the provision and support of metadata. This probably will require sidecar files, or at least a central Adobe db of filenames and attributes. The simplest facility would be allowing users to create open-ended KEY WORDS for individual files, since that doesn't have to involve a hierarchical database. Files can be tagged by project, by in-house creator, by client contact name, by client company, or anything else that helps.

   Here's an example I deal with every day -- (admittedly from InDesign, not Ai)

   For one client, I an designing a book interior: graphics, layout, typesetting, etc. Since it's a 500-page volume, I use separate InDesign files for each of its 55 chapters. After performing an operation on the "book" (metadata managed in InDesign), every chapter file is modified. So from then on, all I ever see in the Document Open interface is the last 30 chapter titles. This is absolutely useless! What I need to see is the files I'm working on for other clients, other projects for this client, the chapters I'm currently most concerned with, and so on.

   Please consider these issues as you develop further facilities in support of Adobe Cloud Documents.

2. GUIDELINES

   Full transform options for GUIDELINES. I want infinite DIAGONALS!
   Please and thank you! xoxo

   TL;DR
   We all know math is the basis of all good design work. (Critical for branding) I can't count the number of times I've messed up manual diagonal spacing. It's a sticking point for me, especially when working on deadline.

   Being able to set up a template of guidelines (in the same way that "workspaces" functions) could be beneficial for different types of jobs.

   Other things that would be nice:
   -Golden Ratio guideline (also Branding essential)
   -Colour of guidelines matching layer colour (much more helpful than getting an 80% gray or yellow bounding boxes)
   -I'm sure there are plenty of other kinds of guidelines that are critical to different fields.

   I realize we can all throw our custom guidelines onto a locked layer, but that's not the point. The traditional guidelines are second nature in our workflow. Maintaining that workflow is essential to integrating new features and enhancing the experience for us right?

3. Bring back spacebar 'move' functionality when 'alt/option' is pressed (to access Anchor Point tool) while using Pen Tool

   I realize this is a very specific request for a small piece of functionality that was probably never very popular, but it's part of a workflow I got used to using for years, and since upgrading to CC, it no longer works.

   When creating a new path with the Pen tool, using the spacebar enables you to move the anchor point you've just created (before you release the click). Also, the Anchor Point tool allows you to do the same when you click on a point and drag the handles out.

   My issue is that the Anchor Point tool doesn't retain this functionality when you access it by using the shortcut 'alt/option' while the Pen tool is selected. I'm not sure if this was simply an oversight, or if there is a reason for disabling it. I've searched for a way to enable this tiny feature, but don't think it's possible with preferences (please let me know if I am incorrect).

   The ability use the 'alt/option' key to access the Anchor Point tool, WHILE retaining the ability to use the spacebar to toggle back and forth between moving handles and moving the point itself - makes for a very efficient use of the pen tool by minimizing clicks to switch back and forth between tools.

   Since the Anchor Point tool still allows this functionality when selected directly, I don't see why it shouldn't act the same when accessed through the 'Pen tool + alt/option' shortcut, -like it did in CS5.

   Please bring it back!!!
   Thank you :)

   Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   As per comment.

   You have to release the Option/Alt key first after dragging out the handles, and then start holding Spacebar to reposition the point.

4. Don't stop Duplicating when ALT is released !!

   When using Select and Direct Selection Tools, you can duplicate elements by holding ALT-key down.

   But if you release the ALT-key before you release the Mouse Button, the duplicating ceases . This differs from how most of the other applications behaves. For example in Photoshop, duplicating continues even if you release the ALT before you release mouse button.

   How this works in Illustrator leads often to situations where you think you have duplicated something, but you actually just moved it. And often I edit the element I thought I duplicated, and loose lot of work as it wasn't actually duplicated and I edited the original.

   Very Frustrating
   I can't believe how many this kind of little annoying things Illustrator has. Every time I have to use it, my day is ruined. This is one of those days. I can't understand how a developer with size and budget like Adobe can't get these fixed.

5. A 'scale object' switch next to 'scale corners' and 'scale strokes & effects'.

   Sometimes I want to scale just an object's strokes and effects without scaling the object - for example, if I've got an 'iris' graphic style that combines multiple fills and strokes to create a stylized iris of an eye, that I created for one size of eye, and would like to use for a closeup drawing.

   Currently I would have to do something like this:

   1. draw a path with the 'iris' style, realize it's designed for a very different scale
   2. turn on scale strokes & effects
   3. rescale the path to be larger
   4. turn off scale strokes & effects
   5. rescale the path back down to roughly its original size
   6. maybe go back to step 2 if the size needs further adjustment
   7. maybe redefine the style or define a new one with a name like "iris closeup" so I don't have to do this again

   I would like to be able to do this instead:

   1. draw a path with the 'iris' style, realize it's designed for a very different scale
   2. turn on scale strokes & effects, turn off scale object
   3. rescale just the strokes & effects, maybe fiddle with the scale a few times until I get it right
   4. maybe redefine the style or define a new one with a name like "iris closeup" so I don't have to do this again

   ---

   Possibly it would be a good idea to make it impossible to have all of the scale object/corners/strokes & effects off at once; I would suggest that 'scale object' should be the one that comes onn when you try to turn them all off at once.

   ---

   It might also be nice to add the ability to hold down some key or another while scaling to toggle scaling objects/corners/strokes & effects, similar to the way holding down ~ lets you toggle the state of the 'transform patterns' switch with some transformation tools. Offhand I would say this ability belongs on the Scale tool, dragging the handles of the Free Transform too, and on the handles of the Bounding Boxes; I am making this list because the Free Transform and Bounding Box still don't understand the ~ key to toggle pattern transformation after many years of existance...

6. Mobile Creations

   In the 2015 version of Illustrator, when opening the app, there was a Mobile Creations section where I could open any of the drawings I had made on my iPad. While I was only able to open these if no other Illustrator files were currently open, it was at least easy to access tese items when needed.

   Currently, there isn't an option for this and I have to install the older version after mine updated automatically.

   It would be helpful to be able to access these mobile items easily from the landing page in Illustrator and from a customer Open option in the File menu. While I recognize that I can "send" these items to Illustrator if needed, my results with that flow are wonky at best and it's sensible to have a way to pull up ALL my documents in CC, not just computer-based files.

7. Different Stroke weight in every point node

   I'm trying to make a typeface in illustrator, but it's so hard when i have to apply multiple different weight in one stroke (especially with serif typeface). So i have manually expand the stroke and edit it manually, and the result is not tidy or clean enough.

   I know there is width tool to edit stroke weight, but it behave more like a brush, it will get messy if i want to change stroke weight and not having consistent shape if i cut some part of the alphabet to use it on another alphabet.

   So i have an idea if we can edit stroke weight in every single point node so it can be more consistent (maybe it's similar to blend tools smoothness, but it's specific for stroke).

8. Add scale and mirror to Transform window

   In the Transform window (Windows > Transform), I see rotate and shear, but not scale or mirror. I want those for several reasons:

   — I want a single place for doing all transform operations, without having to go to the menu
   — I don't want to have to remember different key codes for scale, rotate, mirror, etc
   — I want to be able to percentage scale from the bottom right corner (for example), using the 9-square selector

9. There is no documentation for the vector effects in the Effect menu. Write some, please.

   There's three major sections to the Effect menu: Illustrator Effects, Photoshop Effects, and Additional Effects.

   Additional Effects is the domain of plug-in effects, and properly documenting these is of course in the hands of whoever wrote the plug-in.

   Photoshop Effects is full of bitmap effects. There's a page in the docs that runs down the whole list and describes every one of them with a sentence or three. Great! https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/summary-effects.html

   Illustrator Effects, though? Some of it's documented. There's a page about the Scribble effect, which is also for some reason about the Object Mosaic menu item. There's a page about the Drop Shadow, Inner/Outer Glow, and Feather effect. But where's the rest? There's an entirely unrelated section about the new 3d effects halfway across the manual, and nothing about the "classic" ones and the reasons you might still choose to use them now. How do the SVG effects work? What are the various Pathfinder effects useful for? What on earth is Outline Object supposed to do?

   Seriously I have been using this thing for 25 years and it is only today that I learnt what Outline Object is for because someone posted a question about this in the Illustrator subreddit; someone else posted a link to a video Monika Gause made explaining this and lemme tell you, I never would have stumbled across what it's useful for in a million years of using Illustrator normally.

   I assume there was documentation for this once, but it's vanished in manual rewrites. I know other things that are completely undocumented now like "holding down the ` key while transforming shapes switches to transforming their fill patterns, as long as you're not using transformation tools written after this fact vanished from the manual like the Free Transform tool". So much knowledge of how this program works is now lore passed down from one artist to another and that's really kind of annoying. Please dig up all the old docs you can find, figure out what's gone missing, figure out what menu items and tools have no docs, and write some new ones.

10. Add support for linear arrays when copying.

    I'd like to propose that support be added for linear arrays when copying, similar to how it's done in Sketchup (https://tinyurl.com/y9ye5r9a):

    When copying an object by holding down the ctrl key, after releasing the mouse, typing in "x3" will result in 3 copies. Likewise, typing in "/3" will repeat the copy but in 1/3 increments. This would be great for rotations and scaling as well.

11. A standalone preset migration tool to allow for quicker setting migration and recovery in the event of a re-installation.

    Settings are regularly changed/updated and need to be rolled out to all users in a short amount of time in our environment. As such, a tool that will quickly copy/paste from one location to the app preset folders would be ideal. Swatches is a key example of this.

    The build in tool that comes with Illustrator fails more often than not and thus is something we do not use. Ideally, we'd like to see something a user can double click/execute on their own to update these files.

12. Make it possible to edit user defined swatch libraries

    For some reason, once a custom swatch library is defined, we can't edit it. An icon showing a pencil with a line through it indicates that. But why can't we make the swatch library editable (temporarily), e.,g. by alt-clicking the icon, or right mouse button it?

    This is so rigid and inconvenient.

    Also make it possible to save a swatch group as a new library, in stead of saving all in a newly created library. It's quite impossible to create a library from a subset of swatches currently.

13. Remove the "legacy" designation from Save For Web.

    Save For Web was marked as "legacy" when Export For Screens was added, with the implication SFW would be vanishing at some point. It's seven years later and SFW is still around, and still what I use 100% of the time over EFS and the terrible Export As... options.

    Save For Web is a great tool for someone creating art with Illustrator; it lets me quickly and easily adjust the file format and resolution of the generated image for whatever I may need, and uses most of the screen to show me exactly what I'll be getting.

    Export for Screens? It's terrible for my needs. One tiny little thumbnail for each artboard. Or each "asset". Which I guess are useful if you're making user interfaces? I don't do that, I use Illustrator for illustration.

    Export As...? It's even worse. Each file format has a terrible little dialogue box without much consistency between them, and next to no control over the final size - guessing at final pixel size by changing the DPI is utterly absurd to do. It used to be useful, years ago; it used to be as powerful as the dialogue Photoshop gives you when you try to import an AI file. Then the whole UI got rebuilt and that was thrown out in favor of a bunch of dialogues that do the barest minimum effort required. Now it's just a bunch of bad jokes.

    Save For Web is the only one of these options that's really useful to an artist, and you hide it away by saying it's "legacy". Obviously not something anyone should USE.

    Please, do what you have to do to make Save For Web something you don't want to mark as "legacy". Keep it around. Modernize it so you can drop in new file formats as the world decides they're useful. I really do not know what I'd do if you ever did finally follow through on the implicit threat of removing it; exporting stuff would be a huge pain **********.

14. Artistic Corner Options

    I had to make a customized corner style for a project that needed to match its existing vintage look and realized how limited the options were. I had to paste the shape into indesign and even then I still needed to modify them after I converted it back to Ai in order to match the desired look.
    I know with nowadays minimalism we rarely make complicated borders and corners anymore but I still don't get it why we have millions of fancy brushes for stroke but non for corner....

    I hope there'll be an update with better options for this since it wouldn't be time efficient working around this the way I did

15. Problem with Adobe Illustrator pressure on a Surface pro 7

    I recently purchased a Surface Pro 7. I am a graphic designer and an artist and I've always worked on Illustrator but after installing it to my Surface Pro the experience is ruined for me.

    I cannot get a sharp line even if my life depended on it.

    Basically the lines inside the box are the lines I'm getting, the single line outside of the box is what I should be getting but I'm not. It's like the pressure works but not on the low end as I can't make a line sharp, it always ends up like this.

    By the way - When I first set up my Calligraphic 3x3 pressure brush and when I try to draw a line it looks like it's not being processed but it actually turns out with the right pressure, as it's supposed to be, but then when I get the real time processing (about half a minute later) and I can see the pressure while I am drawing the line I am getting these awful round lines.

    P.S. The device is not faulty as the pressure sensitivity works great in Photoshop and Clip Paint Studio and I get great sharp lines there with accurate pressure.

    Please help me, I want to continue using Illustrator, that's why I bought the Surface Pro 7 initially, but I just can't get the pressure to work right! All of the Surface Pro users are experiencing this same bug so it is a big issue and I hope that you manage to find a way to fix it with the information that I provided.

    I recently purchased a Surface Pro 7. I am a graphic designer and an artist and I've always worked on Illustrator but after installing it to my Surface Pro the experience is ruined for me.

    I cannot get a sharp line even if my life depended on it.

16. Easier access to typekit options

    I noticed that the link to the external typekit web app is no longer in the type (character) tool box. I see how the whole mechanism to search is more integrated but its still harder to scroll through font weights, type custom sample text etc. I just think there could be a link to the external web app right there in the tool box still even with the updated integration so you have the option to search differently. I see that you can still get to that web app but it feel more clunky for my work flow than it used to be!

    Is it possible to make actions button's width smaller?
    
    Or make it possible to open each set of buttons in a separate panel?

19. Please add automated color bar, separation color information - Print PDF output

    Hi! I am missing a choice in PDF save or export. In the print industry is needed to add colour information for the customer, what colours is the artwork made from - esp. when we use solid colours. Customers need this for the approval process so we have to add this colour-bar manually. In the PDF (composite PDF) window there are Marks and Bleed choices, but there is missing a choice to choose a colour information automatically generated from the document colours - separations. The colour information can be graphical (squares with separation names) or text based (separation name in that colour).

20. Workspace layout seems to constantly change over time. Keep it more fluent and natural

    I can arrange workspaces, rearrange them, add new ones, remove some and so on and on and on. My issue is that somehow, the tools and panels I want are never at hand when I need them.

    It's so subtle that I can't put my finger on the exact issue. But it's suddenly occurred to me that as far as I can remember, I'm always rearranging the workspace layout in Illustrator to get the tools I need, but I don't have this issue in other Adobe apps. I've been using Illustrator as my core graphic design tool for around 8/9 years.

    This has slowly been dawning on me. I think there's a lot of things going on here.

    • Issue: For Premiere Pro I can sync workspaces to my account. I presumed this is standard behaviour for all Adobe apps. However I have always used the same account and I have several times over the years set up custom workspaces in Illy. But I've just looked now and I can't see any - I don't know when they disappeared or why but it's happened.

    • Solution: synchronise workspaces to my Adobe account. Keep them there regardless of Illustrator version. Sync to all computers using my account.

    • Issue: Popups. In more recent years, I seem to get popups appear about once a week about something that I'm not at all interested in, usually some irrelvant new feature. I open Illustrator to work, not to play around with the latest features.

    • Solution: please get rid of these popups and tutorials unless I ask for them. The things I do in Illy, I know how to do. If I don't know a feature, I probably don't use it.

    • Issue: Sometimes the workspace opens on the same one as last time when I open Illustrator. Sometimes it doesn't. Not sure what the expected behaviour is here, but usually it seems to open on "Essentials". Every time, I switch to "Essentials Classic" and then add any other panels I need. Unless I have a custom workspace that hasn't disappeared yet.

    • Solution: every time I open Illustrator, switch to the last workspace I was using.

    • Issue: Over time as UI design changes, the workspaces change too. I get it, you add more features, you play around with the default workspaces. But please don't make it affect me.

    • Solution: Add more features if you like but don't push them out to my workspaces unless I want them. Ask me if I want to switch / update workspaces.

    • Issue: Workspaces always seem to be resetting and panels I add to my workspace disappear next time I open Illy.

    • Solution: Auto save changes to workspaces as they're made. Even default workspaces, just save the changes.

    That's just a few things that are obvious to me. But the whole workspace just seems to fluctuate often, and I just want to get the tools up that I use and keep them handy instead of rebuilding my workspace every time I open Illustrator.

    I can arrange workspaces, rearrange them, add new ones, remove some and so on and on and on. My issue is that somehow, the tools and panels I want are never at hand when I need them.

    It's so subtle that I can't put my finger on the exact issue.
