1. Support single one line fonts

   Hi,

   I have tried Illustrator to design name tags to engrave on our engraving machine. Unfortunately single line fonts, which are essential for some engravings, isn't working properly. Bought them from onelinefonts.com and they are working flawless in most other apps, but none of Adobe's so far.

2. Assets Export - add "Find" option by asset name

   I'm looking for just option to filter assets at Asset Panel. It's easy to select some assets, for example I have objects names "ground_xx.png" and I want just export them now, so I can type in filter "ground" and it will be filtered from all other my assets, and yes, better to add option select filtered.

3. Make zooming in respect the text insertion point (text cursor)

   With or without the Zoom to Selection option (in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display), zooming in (I use Cmd/Ctrl+Plus a lot when I edit text) into the edited text won’t respect the blinking cursor’s position. So If I decided to zoom into a text I’m editing, Ai would just zoom in the middle, hiding my point of interest out of the view.
   Thanks to Brian Wood for bringing the attention to it.

   More of it — if I START typing (or press an arrow button), hoping for the view to adjust (like it used to do) — it won’t happen!
   So I can type blindly now, not seeing the result: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51215062

   And really, Zoom to Selection is just broken: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32928385
   It centers the view, instead of keeping the selection within view. It’s super painful when you zoom out using hotkeys.

5. Make Intertwine into a tool, available from a tool panel

   Objects on Path is a tool, and it creates a dedicated object... and does nothing else! all the operations with this new object are performed using the Selection tool...
   Meanwhile, an Intertwine object would need a command, Object > Intertwine > Edit (or a button in the Control panel) to be edited — which just enabled the hidden tool! Make it a real one!

6. Zig Zag effect Ridges per Path option

   Illustrator allows us to set ridges per segment when applying a live Zig Zag effect.
   Cool, we can use it creatively... sometimes... in very rare occasions...

   But most of times we need the frequency to be uniform for the whole path, like Roughen does.
   We can’t use a brush to do it really, and we can’t make Ai to re-divide a path into segments of equal length (a cool request on its own, but it won’t solve the problem anyway... but I ahve to mention the PathScribe plugin allows this).

   There is this cool Random Zig Zag script that that does this and more as a filter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHEAk6s9NcE — definitely worth buying), but it’d be great to just have it from the box as an option for the effect.

7. Smoothing a selected portion of a path converts the extreme points in the selection into sharp from smooth

   Here I have a path with all the points being smooth (all handles are at 180°), but one portion of the path is particularly bumpy. I want to smooth only this portion.
   I select it (using Lasso), I make sure these are smooth, I pick Pencil, hold Opt/Alt, drag the slider... and it makes the selected portion of the path connected to the rest of it in the sharp manner. There is no tension at the star/end points, it just flops.
   While this can be useful, being blind like this, I’d love for it to at least give me the choice. An option, perhaps?

9. Make permanent artboard captions displayed on top when using Artboard Tool / mode

   In Ai 2026 (build 30) a new option was presented, 'Show Artboard name on canvas', in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, enabled by default, following this request:
   Provide an option for making artboard names / numbers visible on the artboard (like when editing artboards), https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40405873

   While it’s great and all, these new subtle captions replace the old 'label' ones we used to get when enabling Artboard tool / mode... and these new captions are rendered BELOW the artwork, even when I specifically want to deal with artboards, not artwork.
   These should appear on top when using Artboard Tool, and I’d say these should be old-style labels with clear distinct backgrounds. Gray text of new-style labels is barely seen on gray backgrounds I use a lot.

   Why do we need to see the numbers and labels above art?
   For this — Display artboard captions when exporting artboards, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48094511

10. Dynamic Bezier Stroke Corner Join

    Illustrator offers 3 types of stroke corner joins: Miter, Round, Bevel (same 3 as Offset Path filter/effect do).

    Miter one just extends the edges of a stroke with straight lines and then cuts the pointy portion off according to Miter Limit value. This works in a majority of cases when we need a sharp corner, but when curvy segments meet at an angle... the straight join becomes obvious.

    Meanwhile, Ai has Join Tool.
    Here, at the left side of the image a result of expanding a stroke, with a straight mitered join is rather obvious.
    So I select the point where the straight segments meet, delete it, and then use the Joint Tool to... well, to join them, following the natural Bezier extensions of the segments.

    This gives me a better looking smoother join, with no obvious 'ah, that's a thick stroke expanded'. I can use this method when I have a handful of these... but it’s not convenient to treat hundreds of these, expanding your artwork.

    Another solution would be to use inside/outside stroke alignment...
    But:
    1. it still doesn’t work for open paths — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33963553 (100 votes!)
    2. it won’t be helpful anyway if sharp connections happen from both sides of a line, both at inside and outside one

    So — please introduce the fourth type of a stroke corner join. Make it fall back to just simple Miter if the curvature of the lines doesn’t allow for them to meet properly (or cheat by changing the curvature just a bit).

11. Enable continuous work while generating vector graphics

    Currently, when generating a vector graphic within Adobe Illustrator, the entire application becomes unresponsive for approximately 30 seconds (or longer, depending on complexity). This forces users to wait idly without being able to continue their work, significantly disrupting workflow, concentration, and productivity.

    I request that Adobe implement a background processing feature that would allow users to continue drawing, editing, or performing other tasks within Illustrator while vector graphics are being generated in the background.

    Thank you!

12. Rotate bounding box only

    It’s similar to a request to do it on iPad I made: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931888/suggestions/46244521

    Ditto.
    Ai should give us a mode to freely rotate the bounding box the way we need, to zero or any angle.
    There should be a way to quickly align it to a chosen straight segment or even a point.

    Affinity Designer has a feature that can be used for this purpose, Select > Cycle / Set Selection Box — even though it doesn’t exactly does the same thing.
    There are also two plugin methods to achieve this in Ai today:
    1. ToolShed plugin by Graffix: https://rj-graffix.com/product/toolshed/ (it introduces a separate tool for transforming, to avoid dealing with Ai’s bugged accumulated rotation — the tool allows to 'visually set the bounding box angle in order to stretch the art along any angle you choose')
    2. Bounding Box Tool by Totallypic: https://totallypic.com/digital-downloads/categories/plugins (not sure though it’s still available separately now, the developer intended to include it in their larger IllustKit plugin)

13. PDF stroke and fill shape should be imported as a single object, not two separate objects

    PDF stroke and fill shape should be imported as a single object. Currently Illustrator parses such shapes as two objects: fill, stroke. This behaviour can be seen when exporting as PDF in Illustrator (without AI editing capabilities) and importing it again.

    Note: This seems to be caused by incorrect handling of B and B* PDF operators (fill + stroke in one object).

14. Control which tool is activated by the eraser end of my stylus

    I do all my work with a drawing stylus and have never found the native Eraser tool to be useful. Instead I use Astute's Opacity Brush, which lets you quickly paint opacity masks for the selected objects.

    I'd love to be able to access it by flipping my stylus over and eraser-clicking, but that only gets the Eraser tool.

    Before the Opacity Brush came up I've had other thoughts for this - how about assigning the eraser end of the stylus to your favorite selection tool instead of constantly hitting hotkeys to switch to and from it, for instance?

15. Display 'Save' in those History steps which were followed by saving, as Photoshop does it

    It can be hard to navigate History, and when we do, we often need to see specific points of it.
    Save operations are important turning points, and seeing 'Save' added to those operations that happened right before saving happened works great... in Photoshop, but not in Illustrator. Please add these.

18. Share for Review - Ability for teams to update links

    Currently in InDesign and Illustrator, the person that created a review link is the only one able to update the review link. There are times when another person on my team needs to update a file and send an updated review link, but to do so, they have to create a copy of the file and make a brand new link. This is a bit tedious and doesn't keep the history of comments, which we sometimes need to refer back to. I would like to suggest the ability to allow teams on Create Cloud to be able to work on the same files together and update the same review links.

19. Allow to control font for Swatch Info objects

    Well... if one wants to choose font size for text in Swatch Info objects while making one — tough luck. We can only set the color chip size.

    Since Preview is completely missing now (here’s the request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49681244), it’s hard to evaluate if text would be large enough to accompany them.
    Even if you change the font size after the Swatch Info is created — won’t do, each text line is a separate type objects, their leading won’t be adjusted, the card background rectangles won’t adapt!

    One can think this font is based on the [Normal Paragraph Style], and we can tweak it (beforehand!) to set the font size...
    But it’s only half-truth. While the font family and the font style indeed follow the style, the font size is always 10 points.

    So, team, if you look how people in different tutorial videos have to dance around this stupid limitation, to guess the card size to fit the font size relatively, and then scale the whole object... I hope you will fill shame at least.

    If you are afraid to overload new users with controls in the dialog — at least make an option to scale font size to fit color chip size... or make it a relative value even.

    Ai today offers dedicated controls for the font inside of Swatch Info objects.. all but the font family — these use the one used by the [Normal Paragraph Style].

20. Allow to place cards next to color chips instead of always below for Swatch Info objects

    We can choose from two main layout options for Swatch Info: horizontal and vertical.
    Horizontal puts 'cards' with text info below the chips, while Vertical option makes them... wait! Still below? Not next to it?
    I think we should be able to choose if we want to place them on the side, rather then always at the bottom.
    Take a look at a draft mockup attached.
