Turntable tooltips don’t allow to use Transform panel
I understand Ai want to advertise generative features more.
But putting the Turntable button (a 'speculative gambling machine') into the Transform panel (a dedicated panel about coordinates, sizes, 'parametric parameters' (sorry for the pun)) — is not OK.
The tooltip bubbles up occasionally and covers the panel. It won’t get hidden with 'Disable Rich Tooltips' option being disabled, while BEING one.
There are plenty of other places.
A generative menu, Control (where we can disable in with customizing a panel), in Properties’ Quick Actions (that we can keep below the line... why not customize? — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31999108), or CTB (why there’s no customization here also? — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49235456)...
Thanks to Seiji Miyazawa (here: https://x.com/onthehead/status/2043652813054783936) for noticing this.

Ive wasted so much time waiting for this to process after accidentally clicking this button. Please stop the slop and do something right by the people who use your products the most.

i keep hitting this **** button by mistake, and the process (beside the fact that uses credits) cannot be cancelled, so it';s about a minute that i can't keep working.
please remove this or add the option to remove or turn it off...
THIS IS NOT FIXED.

It’s very important to be able to deactivate the tooltip (or the whole turntable function …) – it’s extremely annoying when trying to work in Ai 30.7 (under macOS Tahoe).
PS: “QuickInfo“ and “Rich QuickInfo“ in the settings are already deactivated, but seem to have no effect on this “beast”.

Add the ability to disable Turntable hover tooltip!

Latest version 30.8.1 in Creative(Exploitative) Cloud Let us turn the turntable option and its button OFF. Completely! Never to darken the panel of MY Adobe Illustrator again! I pay enough for what works. I do not want things that do not work. As others have stated, I am constantly getting my Object Properties incorrect because I have passed the mouse cursor over that **** button launching the nonsense moving gif and consequently deleting Property information making a mess of MY artwork. Adobe, please take your advertising of tools I will never use and stick them.

The Rich Tooltip is now properly hidden in the Transform window with full-release 30.8. Thank you. I would prefer the button disappear, too, but this is much better than before. The tooltip still appears after hovering a microsecond from a button across the top (Control?) toolbar.

Oh PLEASE get rid of this button! Not only does a rollover popup a window that covers useful tools, but every time you select an object, it appears and shifts every window below it downward.

No reason for it or the generative button to appear where they are not wanted. Drop the slop!

That's exactly right. I overlooked that.
As you both pointed out, the Turntable button is not visible initially, but it appears once an object is selected.
I'm unable to install the Beta version in my environment, so I'm currently using version 30.7.

Amanda, the fix is included in the latest BETA build, 30.8.0.72, not the 'General Availability' one.
You can install the Beta Ai separately from your Creative Cloud app.
After the Beta users confirm it works, the team will push it into the GA. -

This is NOT FIXED for me. I just updated to the latest Illustrator available this morning, which is showing as 30.7, not 30.8.
The Turntable button now is hidden until I select an item, but its tool tip STILL blocks the rest of the transform tools if I accidentally hover over it. This is as of August 13, 2026

The Turntable button is still there. You will not see it initially, but it appears when you have an object selected.

Confirmed. The issue has been fixed, and the Turntable button has also been removed from the Transform panel. Thank you for addressing this.

Ton commented
It should not be in the Transform panel at all. You might as well put the 3D Revolve option and other transformation effects in there.
New idea from comment
This comment was upgraded into a new idea: Don't put Turntable button into the Transform panel -

Frustrating and a concentration breaker. Why is this not fixed already patched? It should have been a hotfix months ago - like 30 minutes after the Turnable button was introduced. Turn it off with the rest of the rich tooltips, give it more than 1ms hover delay, or give it a small (i) icon so folk can choose to see the popup. Only reason it's not corrected by now is because someone made the decision not to. That, or the Adobe Illustrator team doesn't use their own product.

Absolutely! This pop-up is both persistently annoying and an intolerable intrusion of advertising into the user interface. It must go — now! It is an insult to professional users.

This is an incredible time waster when using the Transform control panel. Please give us the option to turn it off or at least move it somewhere else where it doesn't cover the inputs.

Please! This shows up whether or not tool tips are turned off and makes it impossible to use the panel without moving out of it and back in (and hopefully not hovering over the turntable accidentally or it just comes back).
