  2. Colour pick gradients

    Currently the colour pick just works for solid colour. It would be useful if you could also select the same gradients

  3. Start a new line by clicking on the pen tool and/or support deselect with Apple Pencil 1

    Thank you for bringing Illustrator to the iPad! I've been drawing with Illustrator since AI 3, happy to see it mobile so I can draw on the go.

    I love the pen tool, but I want to draw more than one line with it. Normally I would deselect a line to start the next one, but my Apple Pencil 1 does not support a double tap (to deselect), and tapping twice in rapid succession doesn't seem to be the same as a double tap. It seems like it should, but I can't get it to work.

    Clicking on the pen…

  4. Trackpad not working with Illustrator Palm Rejection option turned on.

    I can not select, edit text, move object and so on with the trackpad when the "Palm Rejection is ON"
    Whent i work with the keyboard and trackpad to edit text or move object i must diseable the "Palm Rejection option from Ilustrator settings". To make fine adjustments i use the pen, but for that i must Activate the "Palm Rejection".
    In the system settings the option "Only draw with apple pencil is ON" but is does not affect illustrator"
    It would be great if the "Palm Rejection" option did not affect trackpad usage.

  6. Add the ability to only draw with stylus

    Sometimes I accidentally tap with my finger and the program thinks I want to make a line or point where I tapped. In other apps you can disable finger drawing so the only time points or lines are added is if you use the stylus. Shortcuts and commands would still be input with the fingers but no marks would be made on the page unless one used the stylus.

  7. Better Layers Panel

    It’s just terrible how it works now.

    • When you select an Object it is marked blue, but only when its not within any Folder (expandable Object), you have to manually expand the „Folder“ to see the blue Mark.
      This way you can’t find any selected Object until you expand the Folder its in. Any Project that has any kind of Folder or Cutpath becomes very fast a Nightmare to Navigate. And the solution would be so easy.

    • Why can’t we move or select hidden layers within the panel. Why? Now I have to show the layer, manipulate it in any…

  10. Reference Points for transformations.

    Please can we have Reference Points in the Transform tool section like in desktop illustrator?

    They offer much greater control and repeatability in comparison to black box tools like “Distribute”.

    Thanks

  11. Ability to paint within a shape or send to Fresco while maintaining line quality.

    In Fresco, I can freehand vector lines but cannot edit them like in Illustrator. In Illustrator my color/paint options are severely limited. Being able to paint or draw within a shape would be wonderful. If the two apps could share files I could have the best of both worlds.
    (I tried exporting to a psd the loading in Fresco but it rasterized my lines.)

  12. Keep touch modifier on right

    I’m left-handed so I would like the touch modifier to always be on the right when I open/create a document while keeping the tools on the left (not all lefties want their tools on the right). Thanks!

  14. Export directly to Illustrator Desktop, like in the Draw app

    I thought it would be a natural thing to include the export function to illustrator Desktop via Adobe Cloud, and it would be nice to import from the cloud too.

  16. Recreate gestures to replace touch “button” when using Apple Pencil

    Instead of having a physical touch button to mimic alt and shift, maybe draw inspiration from iPad only apps like Procreate to make the iPad Illustrator as useful as the desktop version.

    Couple of ideas:
    1. Decrease the affect palm movements have when using Apple pencil, and only respond to gestures and menu-taps when using Apple Pencil.

    1. Make it an option to use the physical gesture button or not.
      2.a When not using a pencil it could be useful
      2.b When using pencil, using finger gestures instead of a button would give more and quicker options.

    2. You can make it…

  17. Ability to show individual layers in outline view

    Maybe using the option 'button' whilst clicking on the visibility icon could put an individual layer into outline mode?

  19. Import image? Surprised this isn’t already a feature.

    Trying to import images of boat plans to digitize into 3D models... but there isn’t an ‘import image’ option. There is only work arounds that say to import image into Adobe illustrator Draw, and that should upload it to Adobe Cloud and it should work. Well, it doesn’t. Adobe Cloud cannot sync “at this time. Try again later”
    Very disappointed and let down. I’ve been waiting years for this to arrive on the iPad, and it’s just as useless as whatever Illustrator Draw was supposed to accomplish.

  20. Precise Text Size and Spacing Slider

    A more snappy unit for text size and line spacing adjustment slider.
    It is difficult to get a precise clean number with the current slider.
    For example when I wanted to change a text size from 30 to 40 with the slider, it always ended up with numbers such ash 40.73 or 40.28
    A more snappier slider that only move to round numbers or .5 increments would be easier to use.
