  2. Set default stroke Line width

    It would be useful to be able to set a new default line/stroke weight or set it before you star drawing. Currently the option in the side menu only appears once you have started a line and resets when you start a new layer. I almost always need a 0.25 weight yet have to constantly either start a line and go back and set from 1 back to 0.25

  3. Need the ability to make strokes smaller than 1pt.

    I bought my iPad Pro with the intention to use it for architecture and doing the line weights on them after exporting from rhino 6. The issue is I often make the line weights well below 1 pt when doing smaller scaled drawings. With out this ability, adobe is useless on my IPad.

  4. Pen line options

    It appears that the blob brush for Illustrator on the iPad has different stroke options (chisel, flat, round, etc.), whereas the pen tool only has a uniform line option at this time.
    Please add the different pen stroke types for the iPad! It was such a useful tool and allowed for great line variation!

  5. Apply brushes to strokes

    We should be able to apply brushes to strokes of all kinds. The added brush tool is useless without this feature.

  6. Scales and line dimension handles

    I would like to see architecture and engineer scales in Ai, similar to Cadtools14 plugin. But allow the line segment transform properties to have the scaled X, Y positions as well as the scaled length in the transform dialogue box (as well as the native X, Y and length) so that the user can specify the X, Y, length (and angle) of both the scaled dimension as well as the native dimensions and have the line segment transform accordingly. Also have the rulers and grid lines with the option of the scaled dimensions

  9. Add ability to set opacity on color for both Fill & Stroke

    In Vectornator for iPad you can set the opacity for fill or stroke when you choose the color that you want to draw in. In adobe Illustrator for iPad you can not set the opacity for fill or stroke when you choose the color that you want to draw in.

  11. Lock stroke size on brushes for iPad.

    I desperately need you to add this feature and it should be a simple add. Should’ve been added a long time ago really.
    I’m using purchased and custom created brushes in Ai for iPad and the stroke ALWAYS scales to the length of the line. I can see how this would be needed or desired in some situations. But not giving me the option to keep my stroke the same whether my lines is short, medium, or long (without manually adjusting each stroke size) is absurd. I use Ai for drawing and illustrating. I shade my drawings using a cross…

  13. Align dashes to corners and fit length

    On desktop, there is an option to adjust the dash/gap corners so that it fits the stroke/shape. There is no option for this on the iPad, and I would really like to see this asap so I can make dotted boxes.
