Quick Jump to Photoshop to add Blur/Effects to Layers and send back to Illustrator
Would be very cool if each layer had an option to send to Photoshop (iPad) temporarily in order to add some effects that are not available in Illustrator, and return the result to Illustrator as a new layer (keeping the original layer in place).
Ideally, the layer would open in a new Photoshop file with the appropriately sized canvas and object placement, so that everything lines back up properly when sent back to Illustrator.

Can you add a button that ‘Zooms to True Scale’?
I do a lot of design work where I need to see how big something is in real life. It would be nice if I could tell it to set the view to match the real world. So 1” = 1”, or 1mm = 1mm.
Ideally it would have a little icon in the bottom right that always shows what the scale factor is compared to the real world (like .25/1 if smaller, or 1.25/1 if zoomed in), then you could click the button and it would snap the zoom to 1/1.
I currently hold a ruler or calipers up…

Lock stroke size on brushes for iPad.
I desperately need you to add this feature and it should be a simple add. Should’ve been added a long time ago really.
I’m using purchased and custom created brushes in Ai for iPad and the stroke ALWAYS scales to the length of the line. I can see how this would be needed or desired in some situations. But not giving me the option to keep my stroke the same whether my lines is short, medium, or long (without manually adjusting each stroke size) is absurd. I use Ai for drawing and illustrating. I shade my drawings using a cross…2 votes -
A few changes to the pen and pencil tools could make this app perfect
When drawing for too long with the pencil tool, the entire app gets really laggy because the app is trying to create vectors while I’m drawing. On iPad, there’s no way to turn that off, but on desktop I heard there’s a “Real time” option you can turn off to fix it.
Also, I would like to be able to hold one finger down while I’m changing a vector, and still have the other point stay still. The vectornator app (now called Curve/Linearity) lets you do this so one anchor point can have vectors facing different ways, and it also…

Re-open "last save folder" when exporting files.
I would like Adobe to re-open last save folder where I just exported my adobe file on the next item I am saving.
Instead it always opens iCloud drive folder and and makes me navigate back to the folder I am saving my current projects to.
I dont need to set a specific folder to save items to as default.
I just need adobe to remember it and open it on my next save.Both illustrator and photoshop have this dumb issue.

Publishing PDF files whit PDF/X-4 compatibility for professional printing
PDF files for professional printing are high-quality reproductions of your publication that are passed to a print partner (normally external to your company). You'll typically require a CMYK document, printer marks, bleed, >300dpi images, and PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-4 compatibility (for CMYK output).
Affinity Designer 2 can do it!

Vectorize Now button to apply chosen options instead of live update
I would like to recommend adding a "vectorize now" button and only have something vectorized when I press that button. Right now, vectorizing occurs every time I change an option, which is very time consuming. Thank you!!

Align clipping groups to bounds of the mask, not clipped contents
Once I make a clipping mask I would like to align the masks and not the objects that are masked. I can not do that now because the aligh function works for the whole masked image

Better mouse support for illustrator on iPad
For illustrator with iPad, we need better mouse integration, such as zoom on mouse wheel, spacebar shortcut for hand tool, etc. Just like Illustrator for desktop, I’m surprised these aren’t included by default.

Make the blob brush feel like the desktop version of the blob brush.
The blob brush feels really sloppy on iPad. It should work exactly as it does on iPad. I experimented with all the different settings. Nothing made it feel or look anything like it does on desktop. This is the main thing keeping me from drawing on my iPad and instead still using clip studio. I like AI a lot more but the line work on my drawings are vital and the current form of the blob brush jus tisn’t it.

Use different units of measure when transforming object
When creating an object, I often need to resize it according to specification. In an AI project, I use different units of measure. Say, for instance, that the project has a default unit setting of ‘centimeters’. If I need to create a 7.5x3 inch object, I’d like to be able to type the unit in the width and height fields on the Properties-Transform panel. For example, I want to type height = 7.5 in. The “in” would replace the “cm” which automatically appears in the field.

Add a simple "In progress" indicator to the editing window.
Can you add a simple "In progress" indicator to the editing window?
A simple blinking object or something to show Illustrator-iPad is busy performing the last Instruction? I do realize doing running Illustrator on an iPad is quite a challenge to resource management, and every bit of processing power has to be managed well.
When working with complex objects, and Illustrator stops responding to instructions because the last instruction was very a big one, I sometimes wonder if Illustrator is just busy, or has frozen up. To find out I tried taping some other instruction … bad idea.
Illustrator usually…
