1. Selection panel - supercharged customisable selection options

   • A new Select panel.

   *User-defined search permeameters with logical operators, and access to all relevant properties and object types in the document object model. Ability to extend and refine a search by multiple parameters.

   *User-defined labels for objects, with which users can create their own custom searches (eg. ”figure”, ”house”, “red team”, “platform” etc.).

   This would make me A Happy(er) Bunny.

2. Please bring back the slider for the gradient angle adjustment!!!

   There used to be a slider for the angle adjustment of gradients. It was great because I didn't have to know the angle or the direction in numbers, (which designers are notoriously bad at, by the way) I could freely adjust the angle based on how it looked. The way it is now, with a textbook and a dropdown menu, is so much more work and SO FRUSTRATING. I don't want to have to type in increments and figure out if I need to make it a negative angle.
   PLEASE GIVE ME THE SLIDER BACK!!!!!!!!!
   Thank you!

3. Add a slider to the History panel to quickly review the states of the document

   If we want to go back to a certain history state of the current document , we can scroll the History panel and click each step item, guessing the time, judging by the names of these, the scrollbar position (limited by the capped amount of steps)...
   It’s a guesswork in most cases, since some steps still have generic names (like always 'Move' and not 'Move Point', 'Move Handle', 'Move Segment', 'Move Path', 'Move Group'...)

   Can I just grab a slider and scrub with it, seeing all the previous states rendered on canvas — and fast? Today Ai sometimes takes too much time to undo, and it won’t work with scrubbing.

   And hey — look, Affinity Designer does this.

4. Allow to Move All objects and adjust their Spacing from both ends in Objects on Path

   Objects on Path construct has several on-canvas widgets, allowing us to quickly eyeball some parameters interactively.

   One of these is the starting position of the array along the path.
   If the length of the array is shorter then the path, we can grab the rhombus marker and move all the objects together along, keeping the gaps.

   Another one is Space widget, which is located above the construct.
   We can grab and make all the gaps shorter or longer at once.

   For some reason both treat the array as directional.

   We need an ability to be able to move the array and scale the gaps from both sides, not only from on 'starting' object.

   Please put another rhombus marker for the last object on path as well, and make the two Space widgets next to first/last objects instead of above them all.

5. An option to Remove Share Button completely

   Glad you can take the blue color off the Share button (based on this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44391642)
   Would LOVE to have the option of taking the share button off altogether.
   It's still large and distracting. Thanks!

6. More fields to Smart Guides angles

   Have you ever required to customize Illustrator more, well, this is a feature that is here a long time ago and it would be nice to have more options: In Preferences > Smart Guides, we should have more options to add custom angles, since six fields are falling short. Is this doable?

7. Add a 'Select More' menu option

   When working with a very busy file, it's often much easier to select an anchor or line segment than an object.

   My idea is to have a menu option that selects the object or objects which currently have anchors or line segments selected.

   A user could select an object by first selecting one of its anchors, and then using this menu option.

   If the user hits this feature multiple times, it could continue to 'select more' by, for example, selecting all siblings within the current group, and then the group itself, and then the group's siblings etc.

   Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Latest Beta Builds now allow to hide units for dimensions.

   Toggle the option in the tool’s options dialog to force it for new objects, or disable it in the Properties panel for existing and selected dimensions.

9. Live Free Distort

   I would like to see the "Free Distort" effect be extended to work on the actual object, not going through a tiny dialog box that feels like I'm trying to apply it to a postage stamp. It's really difficult to apply a distorted shape to a larger area when I am guessing if a 1-pixel move of a tiny handle is going to make a difference or not. It would be amazing if four independent handles were on the actual art and allow me to move the corners exactly to the spot I want to place them at. It's a handy tool for the work I'm doing but would make my work much easier if it were more user-friendly. Right now it feels like a feature that is 1994-ish (and yes I was using Illustrator before then - still my favorite app of all time!)

10. Allow Shape Builder to close edited path, but keep the one below opened

    Hi there!
    So, the thing is that - when I have 2 intersecting open filled paths, I really want to remove the outside path of one path using Shape Builder tool. But I want the second path to stay open. and the first path to become closed.

    It may sound as a picky request. But I struggle with this issue everyday, like, 20+ times.

11. Add Focus Fill and Focus Stroke commands we can assign hotkeys to

    Illustrator focuses either a fill or a stroke to be set.
    We can control the focus with the hardcoded X key, that toggles fill and stroke, but it also requires to know which is active at the moment to know if we should press it.

    It’d be faster for professional user to actually force the stroke or the fill to be active, with dedicated absolute keys instead of relative ones.

    I’d use something Alt+X and Alt+Shift+X (these are free), or remapped them to something even more simpler.

    There is a related request:

12. Area Type "Inset Spacing" option to set different values for top, bottom, left and right

    エリア内文字の「外枠からの間隔」に天地左右で異なる値を設定できるようにして欲しいです。
    InDesignの「フレーム内マージン」ではできるので、Illustratorでも可能になればもっと便利です。

    また、日本のユーザーはエリア内文字で表を作成することがあります。「外枠からの間隔」に異なる値が設定できれば、表の作成時にも調整しやすくなります。
    （例）
    https://twitter.com/hamko1114/status/1661574685614825475

    ↓ English ver. (Using Translation tool)

    I would like to set different values for the top, bottom, left and right in the "Inset Spacing" option of Area Type.

    It's possible in InDesign; it would be more convenient if it could be in Illustrator.

    Additionally, Japanese users often use Area Type to create tables. Different Inset Spacing makes it more adjustable.

    (Example)

13. Export images with an option of including or excluding bleed

    It would be great to have the feature in an Export window (in one of the two attached).

    The only way to remove the bleed is to remove document bleed temporarily or remove it manually in Photoshop.

    We remove bleed before we add the artwork to our catalogues.

14. Make Global Edit work with guides

    Guides in Illustrator are treated like objects. It does not suite everyone, and there is a request to make them a completely separate entity, like ones in InDesign, without them being able to get selected with 'normal' object, get grouped, etc.

    Still, when a selection of a guide is made, it is expected for it to behave like a selection would do. We can transform them (rotate scale, flip, move), hide/lock individually... and it feels normal for a selected guide to be affected by the Global Edit feature.

    However, it does not :(

15. Anchor point sliding (reposition point tool)

    It would be nice to have an Anchor Point Slide function that transfers the anchor's position along the path without disturbing it, the same way nodes work in a 3D software. I find it very frustrating when I'm trying to reposition an anchor point without altering the path, but there's no way to do that.

    Planned  ·  AdminAvinash Singh Kotwal (Principal Product Manager, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Hello,

    We have started working on the tech that allows us to enable the following:

    • Ability to convert the outlined/expanded text back to live text.
    • Ability to lock objects to a character/glyph of a live text, allowing users to change the text (properties) while the object stays locked into the character.

    As we work through the complexities of handling different font families, font size, and other font properties, we would love to meet with you and share our thinking around it and understand :

    • Your use cases and workflows that this feature will help you with.
    • What is most essential for you.
    • The workarounds that you currently use to achieve this.

    If you are interested, please pick a time slot that works for you using this link. https://calendly.com/meetai/60min?month=2023-01

    How do we add copy and paste to the right click menu?

    In almost all Adobe products copy and paste are in the right click menu but I can't find a way to turn them on in Illustrator. How do I get them to show up or even request an update to the program if they aren't in the program for some strange reason. Why would they be left out? Can we also use scripting to add other useful commands to the menu to save time while we work?

19. A brush that places elements on anchors

    I would like a brush that places its elements along the path but rather than just distributing the elements or scattering them, it places the elements exactly on the anchors of the path. It should not distort the elements.
    It would be great if it could have individual elements for the endpoints and for the inner points. More control would be possible if it could allow separate elements for corner points and for smooth points. That way objects could be placed along a path precisely.

    Use case: maps, metro lines maps infographics

20. 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.
