Allow printing from the iPad
Please allow for users to print directly from the iPad. Right now we have to save the file and then go to a desktop version to print the files out. This is highly inconvenient and most people design directly on the iPad due to the versatility of using tools like an Apple Pencil. So, please add in a printing option directly from the iPad.

.AIC compatibility with InDesign
I don’t see a way to place .aic files which I’ve manipulated on iPad into an InDesign document. Is the format not supported or is this an issue of file handling? As a separate note, the file organization isn’t very intuitive for Illustrator cloud documents and the slow refresh can often hide files completely.

Rotate tool
Being able to rotate a shape or object on a specified area would be very useful. Because the radial has its limits.

How to change ppi?
When creating a new document I can’t figure out how to change ppi. Once in a document I can see in “info” that my ppi is 72, but again, can’t see a way to change it

I’d love image trace and the ability to warp text
I don’t use a desktop only my iPad so I can create on the go. In my opinion there’s no reason to pay for illustrator on my iPad when it doesn’t have key features like the ability to warp text and image trace.

Processor usage indicator
I often struggle with not knowing if nothing is happening because what I am trying to do is not supported, or if nothing is happening because the M 1 processor is just busy doing the calculations needed to execute my command.
As illustrator is rather processor consuming, it is often the latter, but I never know for sure until waiting time is over, or until I have given up hope and jumped to some other function. Some kind of “the iPad processor is busy calculating your request, please hold”-indicator would be extremely helpful thank you.1 vote -
Pencil Doppeltippen „Rückgängig“
Es wäre toll, wenn ich auf dem iPad durch Doppeltippen des Apple Pen 2 den zuletzt gesetzten Strich rückgängig machen könnte.

Move the undo button from near split screen button
Move the undo and redo buttons when holding the iPad in portrait mode. Currently on the iPad mini (2021) the split screen 3 dots are overlapping the undo button. Which means I either have to turn my iPad to landscape or use the Apple Pencil and be very precise to click the left most part of the undo button in order for it to undo

Re-draw line in the pencil tool, like in desktop
In the desktop when you draw with the pencil over existing line it allow you to re-draw fro. That section on. I was really surprised this ability isn’t available in the first version- seems like a must for the iPad, and a big differentiator from procreate and raster tools

Drag layer on to another to create clipping mask
Having used Affinity designer for a while I am blown away by the whole UI. It makes using illustrator a chore in comparison but I need to have After effects compatibility. A stand out feature is being able to drag a layer on top of another to create a clipping mask. It also doesn’t delete the mask layer so no need to duplicate it first if you want to keep the mask source. It is a much better solution than Adobe and should be added to desktop and iPad!

Perspective assistance grid from Adobe Draw
In previous app Adobe Draw had most unique feature of perspective grid which also allowed us to draw circles in perspective view with super ease, it was helpful for more complex geometric design and we were able to faster draw with free hand, I request to Adobe Team please re-introduce this feature in Illustrator.
