  1. Hiding Layers

    Like in Excel: should be able to hide all layers then unhide just the layer you want to work on.

  4. Shape tool that allows multipoint star tool and multi side polygons

    It would be helpful to have the ability to change the number of points on a star or a polygon like we can on the desktop version.

  6. Could you make the option to set it as a past version?

    I use illustrator (desktop) to make a file for laser engraving machine or cnc.
    And that machines only read illustrator version 8.
    I usually use desktop to do this but sometimes I can’t access to desktop so I wish I can use that function with my ipad.

  7. To be able to create a new path off another path when using the pen tool like you can on pc

    I normally link paths up while doing my art, expand and then use live paint mode on my Mac but can’t on the iPad. Would be awesome to be able to do this ! Example below to hopefully help this make sense

  9. Allow to add multiple swatches at once, similar to Color Groups in Desktop

    If one wants to add a color swatch, they can tap Plus button in Swatches section.
    However there is no wat to add all colors from selected objects, you have to do it one by one, which is tedious.
    Please make a way to adding selected colors into a color group or at least as an ungrouped set, just like Ai on desktop can do.

  11. .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.

  18. Snap to vertical or horizontal alignment when dragging points on shapes

    Ex: when dragging a point on a triangle, would love if it snapped to when it was straight above or to the side of another point on the triangle

  19. Add a quick show/hide button to reveal tool tip labels

    Unlike desktop/Wacom styluses, the apple pencil has no hover state which makes it hard to know what tool does what. Would be very useful to have a quick show/hide button to quickly see hovering tool tips for each tool option in lieu of having a hover capability. Example UI attached.

  20. 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
