  1. 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.

    This feature is has been available in Illustrator for Desktop app for quite a…

  2. 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…

  3. Command bar in app

    It would be great to have an IN APP COMMAND BAR to;

    access each menus and options from NAV BAR in all ADOBE TOOLS especially PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR, IN DESIGN..

    With a simple key combination; a COMMAND BAR appears to reach quicky to menu item with text writing. Eg: COMMAND+SHIFT+P

    By adding this option to all CREATIVE CLOUD APPS, people no need to modify SHORTCUTS or no need to EXPLORE NEW SHORTCUTS.

    It's the new way of reaching all options to NAV MENU CONTENTS from ONE, SIMPLE COMMAND BAR. CURRENT ACTIONS or User created ACTIONS Names will be listed.

    Thank you…

  5. 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

  6. Enable import of other Illustrator iPad files.

    Import/place does not allow access to existing Illustrator (ipad) files. Argh.

  7. 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!

  8. 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.

  11. Add ability to set opacity on color for both Fill & Stroke

    In Vectornator for iPad you can set the opacity for fill or stroke when you choose the color that you want to draw in. In adobe Illustrator for iPad you can not set the opacity for fill or stroke when you choose the color that you want to draw in.

  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!

  16. still show the layers as white being blank when using dark theme interface

    When using the light theme, if you look at the layer, blank space for the thumbnail of that layer is seen as white. However, if you use the dark theme interface, it somehow makes the blank space of the thumbnail layer block, which makes it very difficult to see what’s on that layer.

    So, I’d really appreciate it if you could make it so that when I’m using the dark theme for the user interface, the blank space of a layer thumbnail is still white.

  19. Mirroring the font on an image and saving that font for later

    So there are a ton of downloadable templates we can choose from and I can never find a perfect template… When I do find a design/format that I like, I can never find the matching theme that reciprocates the intentions I had for the search… So it would be extremely appreciated if we could simply sample the text off an image/template that we outline, and then allow us to save that type of writing… Once saved, I’d like to have the ability of simply deleting what the words that the template has and replacing it with mine…
