  2. Allow iPad to work as drawing tablet (screen pairing)

    I bought a iPad Pro recently and would like it if i could use my iPad as a wireless drawing tablet. It would be great if i could work in the same document on my Windows PC and iPad at the same time, maybe through the cloud. I was hoping that Duet Pro would help but sadly it has a lot of latency.

  3. フレスコのようにタッチショートカットを固定(長押ししなくてもいい)できるようにしてほしい

    フレスコのようにタッチショートカットがタッチごとに切り替わって固定できるようにしてほしい。
    片腕しか使えないから、ペンを持ってると長押ししながらペンで描画とか不可能だから、ほぼ使えない機能なのが悲しい。
    切実に追加してほしい。

  5. If not already suggested, arrows and other line end options

    As per I think the desktop version of AI, and for def, other Mac and iPad drawing apps, be nice to be able to add arrows and other end points to lines. And even better, include a dimensioning option. I know AI is not for CAD or related purposes, but it is in fact, almost good enough for such application, so why not? ;)

  6. Make ESC Key = CMD + Return

    There is not a physical Escape (ESC) key on the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard.
    On PC, I’m used to hitting CTRL+Enter to exit an active text object.

    Could we please make CMD+Return on the iPad exit an active text field?
    Currently that Keyboard Shortcut is ESC. Which doesn’t exist. And the Apple version CMD+. Doesn’t work either. CMD+Return would be the most familiar and fluid option.

  7. DWG/DXF Export

    Being able to export these file types to local storage etc. would allow more opportunity for an iPad based workflow, rather than needing to jump back to the desktop version just for exporting

  8. Please do not remove rotate classic

    I do not like how the new 3d filter rasterizes the graphic. Please do not remove rotate classic.

  9. Ad option to auto hide iconic panels in settings

    It would be nice to be able to toggle the option ‘auto hide iconic panels’ in settings, similar to the desktop version of Illustrator.

  10. Merging artboards on same file

    Being able to take an artboard from one file and moving it to another or making it easier to see two files side by side on iPad and also be able to edit between the two. In my class I have to take a lot of stuff from past work for future work so making it easier to transform vectors by duplicating multiple artboards from different files into their own file would be beneficial. Along with better file arrangement and organization.

  11. Arrange Artboards

    Create a setting to automatically arrange artboards easily and quickly, similar to the Rearrange All Artboards dialog box in the desktop app.

  12. Change or leave dpi/ppi the same as document.

    Created the document with 300 dpi but exports as 72dpi. This doesn’t even make since. At minimum, you should be able to select your ppi/dpi when you export your file. You would think it would export the same as your original document

  13. Transparent Background

    You need an option for a transparent background. This is essential to my work.

  14. Allow to open multiple projects / files at once as tabs

    Having the ability to go back and forth from 2 or more projects or copy and paste an asset from one open project to another would be extremely helpful when making assets.

  15. Pencil tool option to not automatically close paths

    Would be great to have the flexibility of having a tool that can accurately capture handwriting - automatic path closing prevents this

  16. Pan and Rotate with trackpad

    Need Zoom, Plus Pan & Rotate with trackpad and Magic Keyboard like how it works on Mac/PC. This would make things even more awesome. It would be even better if you guys do a custom cursor icon like on the desktop as well or like how Vectornator does it with the tool icon as the cursor when using the trackpad and keyboard.

  18. Colour Picker Gesture like in Procreate

    Please make a Colour Picker Finger Gesture like in Procreate! At the moment its way too hard and fiddly to pick colours from the artboard.

    1. Press and hold down with your finger where you want to pull the color from.
    2. You'll see a circle take on your color.
    3. Wait for the color to appear in the color selection tool in the top-right corner of the screen.
    4. You now have access to the selected color.

  19. Make the menus in Spanish / Hacer los menu en español

    On the desktop version you get the menus in many languages, on the iPad version only in English. Please make available other options
