1. 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.

2. 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.

4. Toggle Artwork Visibility Outside of Artboard

   The function of the w key in InDesign switches between preview and normal view. Why doesn't Illustrator have this functionality? It would be so useful as I usually prefer to use Illustrator when I'm initially laying things out for a design project. I've seen multiple requests for this functionality in the forums. Please please please add this!

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

   View > Trim View command does this. By default, it does not have a hotkey assigned to it, but you can map it to the one you prefer in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

5. Less Application Chrome

   Illustrator could have less application chrome.

   • Ability to remove scrollbars and status bar
   • Ability to disable "Application Bar" while "Application Frame" is selected (Controls take the place of the Application Bar)
   • Adjustable-height panels e.g., a Swatches panel that's sized according to the number of swatches, not some fixed height
   • Mac-native full-screen mode that hides the macOS menu bar (without having to toggle AI's view mode)

   etc etc etc etc

6. 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

7. Allow to quickly change stroke units directly from Stroke panel

   Currently, the stroke unit can be adjusted via the Preferences > Units > Stroke settings. It would be extremely helpful if this setting could also be made accessible directly from the Stroke panel as a shortcut.

   Being able to quickly switch between measurement units is particularly important for us during production workflows. Therefore, we kindly ask you to consider adding a shortcut to the Stroke panel for easier access to unit settings.

8. 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.

9. Make an option to allow to transform (move / rotate / resize) a pattern within object without holding ` (backtick / grave / tilde) key

   Newly redundant options in Transform menu
   With the AI ver 27.5 update the "Transform Pattern Only" option does not work anymore in the Transform palette options menu.
   It used to be that the pattern would move interactively within its container if it was dragged or rotated. Now the whole object moves. My small business works exclusively on pattern design and this happens on both our machines. (Win 10 and Win 11. Both i7 with 32gb) RAM).

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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 **********.

13. 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...

14. 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.

15. Proportional Push & Rotate Tool

    I’m relatively new to Illustrator, not sure if such a feature already exists, but I’d like to suggest a tool that allows selected objects to be proportionally pushed away from the group’s center point or a custom pivot point — without scaling them — and optionally rotate them around that same point. For rotation, it would be great to have options whether the objects keep their own rotation (independent) or rotate as children following the group’s rotation. Additionally, it would be helpful to allow setting horizontal and vertical movement ratios (e.g., move 1 unit horizontally while moving 0.35 units vertically) for the push-away action.

17. 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.

    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.

18. 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).

19. Customize appearance of Action buttons and open actions in separate panels

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

20. 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.
