  1. Make CC library (sub)folders and folder names visible

    I work with various projects that each has separate collections, so I have my color swatches sorted accordingly into each collection folder in my CC Libraries for each project - which is great when I switch from Illustrator to Photoshop and other desktop programs. But on iPad version of Illustrator all swatches are in one huge messy mix of swatches without any kind of (sub)folders visible - I can´t believe that this basic functionality is still missing. Hope it will be improved very soon!

  2. Cropping Layers

    I know that cropping images is not yet a feature either. However, I have been having a horrible time trying to crop a layer so that I can continue designs throughout.
    The only option right now is Transform, which makes the design look very novice.

  4. An eyedropper like the desktop that samples swatches, can apply appearances

    If you apply global swatches to your artwork on the iPad, you can't use the eyedropper to accurately sample those colors/swatches to other objects. The eyedropper reads the color, but the formula numbers are slightly off, and it applies this to the object, rather than applying the swatch. Also, when I create a swatch on the iPad using whole numbers, when I open the file on the desktop, the swatch has decimal numbers. You can't type in any decimals on the iPad, and yet they are there on the desktop. Designers need accurate swatch functionality and a better eyedropper on…

  6. To Pin tabs of multiple documents.

    To Pin tabs like on Google etc, when multiple documents are open, that way documents that are used everyday can sit open (pinned) leaving more room for New/other working documents across the top where they sit.

  7. ability to set repeat distance to specific value

    It would be very helpful to be able to set the repeat distance (space between repeated objects) to a specific value or have the distance snap to the grid when snap to grid is active.

  8. Ability to use arrow keys for cursor placement within text.

    When editing text, it’d be great to be able to use the arrow keys on the magic keyboard to move the cursor within text vs. having to use my fingers to drop the cursor.

  9. smaller brush size

    Brush size has a limitation 1 point. It would be nice if it could get smaller into decimals.

  10. Why not make drawing as convenient as in animate

    I really like that in anime you can draw on one layer working with lines and filling as in Photoshop. Why is everything so complicated and mute in the illustrator?

  11. Easily move objects from one layer to another without searching the object in the layer

    Easily move objects from one layer to another without searching the object in the layer: move selected objects from one layer to another via a coloured square beside the layer name like in the desktop version.
    Now you have to select the objects and search for them in the different layers to move them. This is time consuming.

  12. Use touch shortcut + "stack" icon for send to back/send to front

    Surprised I didn't see this suggestion yet! Dragging up/down with the stack icon to rearrange layers can be a pain once you have a bunch of layers, especially when you can accidentally select and move other layers while trying to do it. What about holding the touch shortcut and dragging up or down to send to front or send to back, respectively? It doesn't seem like the touch shortcut currently interacts with the stack icon. It would be a huge timesaver!

  13. The app settings button is a button within a button. Fix it.

    So theres an issue with the app settings button in the navigation bar. Its the gear icon button. It is a button within a button. This is called bad design and we need to fix it. Its bad design because I have to click a button to get to the app settings and then I have to click another button to get to the app settings when the first button should have gotten me to the app settings but it didn’t.

    If I click on the gear icon, which is my app settings button, I am given a pop up…

  14. Finger Gesture Workflow

    I just started my trial for illustrator on iPad, and Im already upset because of this touch modifier button. Why am I forced as a user to use this touch modifier button? Why can’t I just use a 1 finger or 2 fingers ANYWHERE on the ipad screen to do primary and secondary behaviors? I dont want to use this touch modifier. I instead want to use my fingers because its easier and faster.

    I hate how I SPECIFICALLY have to tap on this touch modifier button to do primary and secondary behaviors for different tools and actions. I want…

  16. zoom out with 2 fingers optional please

    understandable that some users like the zoom out gesture with 2 fingers

    for all other users - perhaps many - who find it very frustrating and unnecessary, can we please have this gesture as an option?

    on average working 3h with iPad illustrator, even though I very much carefully avoid this gesture, at least 10-20 times in 3h, by total mistake I end up undoing the accidental zoom out, meaning having to zoom in and zoom in and zoom in then pan and pan and pan until I am again where I was before the accidental zoom out

    this request…
