Trackpad / Mouse Panning Function
The current panning function is only possible for touch with 2 fingers.
Would be really nice to have a panning function or tools like the desktop version when used on desktop mode (using ipad with external keyboard & mouse/trackpad)16 votes -
Symbols, Symbol sprayer, sizer, and other symbol tools
Symbols in general are very useful, but especially the symbol tools could benefit from the Apple Pencil greatly, helping in making things such as starry skies or simple textures quickly, easily, and with the precise paths and shapes one may want for those textures or stars. It would also make the iPad illustration process a bit more procedural while remaining intuitive.

Measure length of paths
I use Illustrator for landscape design. Using IPad for real-time designing in the field would really be an improvement. It would really be helpful to have a measurement tool or to see the length in the properties tab. The properties tab now only shows W, H, X, Y. Showing the length of a line would help!

Battery view
I would really like to be able to see my iPads battery life while like actually illustrating. Goes for all y’all’s apps. These things pull battery. It’s nice to know where we’re at battery wise - and I have to exit out of my drawing to see it.

Swatches - Gradient, Pattern, and Etc
Would be really nice to see swatches in a tab of its own, Currently it’s a little awkward to navigate through the small window and the swatches are very small making color combos difficult to distinguish. We’re also missing all the glory or gradient, pattern and misc swatches that are available on the desktop. Bring em to the iPad please :) !
In addition a shortcut “i” for eyedropper tool would be great (or some version that is more aligned with the desktop possibilities and easy to grab color)

Save to local storage/other options
Ability to save files on the iPad´s local storage as well as other cloud services. Full integration with the Files app might be the way to go about this.
In short, I don’t want Creative Cloud to be my only choice to save files.

Add color palettes to library
It would be nice if we could add the color palettes created in Illustrator on iPad to the cc library to be able to access these from the desktop as well. This was a feature I missed in Fresco as well. It would be nice if we could just select color swatches from the document and add all the colors to a group at the same time, just like in the desktop version.

Incremental nudge
The ability to nudge objects in any direction incrementally would be helpful to adjust the spacing accurately between objects, similar to using the cursor keys in the desktop version

Repeat last action (like Ctrl/Cmd+D)
The Repeat Last Action (cmd+D) is missing from iPad app, it is a very useful repeat option that quickly repeats based on last duplication action.

Save Confirmation
I have problem when i accidentally touch the back button, the canvas is automatically saved at the current progress, when we access the canvas again, changed progress we did before cannot be undo. My suggestion please make save confirmation, so we can cancel the back action when we accidentally press it, just like desktop version of AI. Thank you

moving vectors between illustrator ipad docs
i want a vector group from one of my illustrator on ipad docs to be brought to a different doc without having to redraw/remake the vector group. right now i can’t copy and paste from one doc to another. in the desktop illustrator you can drag vectors to different tabs/docs or copy and paste to different docs and i want to be able to have similar movement between documents on ipad.

A FEW FEATURE IDEAS/TWEAKS
Instead of having that "alt button"you have to visually search for, just make placing fingers anywhere on the canvas mean the same thing. 1 finger means shift and two fingers mean alt. "Shift" click should always constrain to 45 degree angles while using the pen tool, similar to desktop version. Affinity Designer on iPad does this really well.
The ability to customize the quick menu. Make blending modes available along with the transparency option.
Long press finger should always give you an eyedropper.
Pen tool should give a preview line, like on desktop version.
I shouldn't have to use a…
