1. Libraries - Add Ability to Drag-and-Drop Swatches from Library Panel to Swatches Panel

   Add ability to drag-and-drop a color swatch from the Library Panel to the Swatches Panel.

   The functionality exists in the Library Panel Menu, but can't be executed by drag-and-drop. Drag-and-drop swatches is a age-old UI convention in Illustrator and it feels broken that a user can't currently do this.

2. Smart/Adaptive Cross-Colorspace Swatches

   It's industry standard to define brand colors in more than one colorspace. Usually you have at least PMS, CMYK and RGB definitions of each brand color you're deploying.

   I'd love it if Illustrator (or the whole CC suite, as a matter of fact) would help this routine, like this:

   Let's have a new swatch type: Cross-Colorspace Swatch. This special swatch type would enable the designer to define variations of the color in any/all color spaces, inside that one swatch definition.

   Instead of defining say three different swatches, you would define one, saying: "This is Brand color 1. In cmyk colorspace it's C50M0..., in rgb colorspace it's R0G120.., it's Pantone code is PMS 20..."

   This way, when you change your document's color space or paste into a document in another colorspace, for example, the Cross-Colorspace Swatch would automatically check if it has a definition ready for the target space, and override whatever default conversion rules with that definition.

   For situations where it's not obvious which definition to use (for example whether you want to use the PMS or CMYK definition when your document is in CMYK mode) you would be able to force the swatch to use the version you want (say, PMS).

   Further uses would include automations for creating captioned samples of the color in each colorspace, to help in creating brand books and such, for example.

3. Automatically push guides to a single layer

   It'd be great to have an optional feature that pushes every newly created guide to a dedicated guide layer. I think many people work with an extra layer for guides on top of their layer stack to toggle visibility and lock, and manually collecting all guides gets tedious.

4. Metadata enhancements for artboard to invidual file (save/export)

   Wish - Metadata enhancements
   1) Document level metadata to be exported and added when artboards are exported as individual files
   2) Ability to add overrides at artboard level for metadata, which on export is carried forward into the individual files generated

   Scenario:
   I often create a series of images by using arboards, as they are related and worked on as a mini-project (e.g. series of icons, part of online learning story-boards, series of progressive diagrams etc.). I export these for use by individual staff, who use graphics in PowerPoint, Word, LMS, InDesign projects etc.
   Note: InDesign docs are converted to PDF and posted online and images must contain metadata (WCAG 2.0 requirement), which is easiest sourced from XMP using an Object style applied to the graphics etc.
   IOW: Metadata is always required to travel with all graphics so it's easily retrieved at any stage when an image is used. e.g. for copyright info, description (used for Alt-text), Title (used for Title/hover text), Credit Lines etc.

   Current Issue:
   * I add metadata at document level (File > File Info) that would be 'global'.
   * When I export artboards (Export > Export for Screens) to individual graphics: all the metadata is stripped and I have to manually add it again to each graphic.
   That's OK if you export artboards only once... BUT when you go through a change process, I find myself repeatedly copying and pasting metadata from the host file (AI).

   Feature Request:
   (1) Please add the metadata that's added at File level (File > File Info), to exported individual graphics (regardless of file format used for export)
   (2) Additional feature request: The ability to override certain global metadata fields, e.g. I might export 6 maps of Australia, each with different state highlighted, I'd have certain global metadata fields (entered through File Info), but would want to edit some at artboard level to indicate WHICH state is highlighted.

   Wish - Metadata enhancements
   1) Document level metadata to be exported and added when artboards are exported as individual files
   2) Ability to add overrides at artboard level for metadata, which on export is carried forward into the individual files generated

5. Ability to switch how letters overlap

   By default, when letters overlap, each following glyph is displayed above the previous one.

   When using text effects or OpenType-SVG fonts, this can lead to disappointing results, like shadows on the wrong direction.

   Would love to be able to toggle the order in which all glyphs of a specific text selection are rendered: above or below the previous one.

   Could even use the extra space in the Character palette to include the feature button ;)

6. Allow to set custom default Transparency Flattener Options settings when saving EPS

   There is no way to tweak said default settings.
   Even you create custom document profile from document with tweaked settings, it still come up as default-default when you try to save project, created from this profile.

8. Add persistent Swatch libraries to Workspace settings + maintained across upgrades

   Allow swatch libraries selected as persistent to be stored as part of a workspace (including palette group & position), and make them persistent across upgrades. I'm tired of having to recreate my palettes every **** time there's some minor 'agile' upgrade.

9. Remember scaling per file in Save for web

   I design for printing and use 'Save for web and devices' to have crisp images.
   E.g. I can have document 300x900mm, and then I export it as 600x1800px and have my snapped sharp lines to stay sharp.
   But 'SfWaD' always immediately renders image at '100%' (which is not 100% at all at Windows — it's an another problem to be discussed), and I get 850x2551.
   When my dimensions are bigger, AI sometimes can't even render an image and I get error message and pink fill in preview area.
   I try to draw ten times smaller whenever is possible to avoid this, but sometimes it's not convenient.

   'Export for screens' doesn't provide direct custom scaling, only integers.

   Proposed solution is too remember scaling in 'SfWaD'. In example given it could stick to the 70,6% after pressing 'Done' button.
   But it will still require AI to render at 100% anyway, so the second better way is to skip immediate rendering and letting user to set values first (you can set an option for it).

10. Align panel: Objects touch edges

    I draw as well as design web layouts in Ai, and I spend a lot of time sliding objects around on a pasteboard and using Smart Guides to snap them next to each other so they're touching. I'd like to add a set of features to the align panel that allow you to select two objets, define the target object with a second click, and then define which edge of the objects you want them to touch on: top, bottom, left, right.

14. Support architectural standards for arrow styles for Dimension tool

    When the arrow style #21 is written on a drawing, it is marked inside the dimension extension line. International architectural drawing standards require that the mark be placed at the intersection of the extension line and the dimension line. Please improve this.

15. Allow to close Perspective Grid widget with any tool active, not only with Perspective Tools

    MANY users don’t know how to disable Perspective Grid.

    They don’t know about the View > Perspective Grid > Hide Grid menu command, and don’t even try to search for it, because they think that little 'x' is the only way to hide it...

    ...but that button only works when you have Perspective Grid Tool or Perspective Selection Tool picked, and does nothing when you have some other tool chosen.
    The button never looks deactivated and lie to us about being clickable.
    This modality makes zero sense.
    Please allow to click it any time with any tool.

17. Dimensions get expanded when moved, with or without related objects

    I can somewhat understand dimension object get expanded when they are moved away from the measured object... although this should not happen.

    But why the dimension objects get expanded when they are moved WITH the measured object? What, Ai can’t distinguish moving form other transformation? What if need to move my artwork to just insert something else — what, this makes all of my dimensions instantly dead?

    Don’t expand dimensions until a user has an clear intention to do it!

    I want an ability to rename an embedded image.
    Perhaps I don’t like the nonsense somebody else used to name it before embedding.

19. Select Same Appearance on a mixed selection

    If I select an object with a particular appearance, I can call Select > Same > Appearance command to select all object which have the exact same stack of the appearance attributes.

    But if I have two objects with different appearances, and want to select all objects that have the same appearance as any of them (either of two!) — nothing is going to happen!

    The command is active, but the selection stays the same... Not cool.

    Sure, I can first find the first batch, lock or hide it, and then do the same for the second object, then unlock/unhide all to get a selection I need... but this requires nothing else locked or hidden :(

20. Select Compound Shapes by visible parts only

    When working with Compound Shapes, I don't' want to 'feel' the original paths which in many cases cover paths beneath.
    Make it work like a Clipping Mask.
    Maybe af preference to select only visible parts is a solution.
