Tangent Mode
Like AutoCAD’s drafting functions, having a robust system of snaps to make shapes align perfectly tangent, perpendicular, etc. to each other would do WONDERS for any designer.

Can you make ‘double tap to paste’ a preference that can be turned off
The intuitive behaviour to deselect a selected object is to tap the clear space around the object. However I find myself often pasting whatever is on the clipboard, which is quite frustrating to keep deleting. Please could you make double tap to paste a preference that can be disabled?

Rulers, rotate, export options, and nudge:
So far this app has been a delight to use and it’s wonderful to have a iPad version of the design program I use so much. On my desktop. That said - there are a few features that I would have liked to see. Some of these are features available in other iPad design programs, and a couple are things available on the desktop version. I’ve only been using the app for a few hours and could have used these features several times over. In no particular order:
Rotate - using a two finger gesture to rotate the artboard.
Rulers…

Repeat pattern/Radial Repeat focus mode + Copy and paste
In an early build of the beta/alpha there was the ability to see what objects were in the repeat patterns and it made it easy to drag and drop new things into the pattern without having to use the selection workaround.
I would like to be able to open up the pattern in a focus mode of sorts where you could create new objects in the pattern and copy and paste other things into that group.

Multiple artboards
Would be great to have multiple artboards like in desktop version as I use lots of artboards for concept work and then logo design in multiple formats. So excited this is here though!!

Ability to import Adobe Draw files
I had just moved from my student to personal license. In the process, all of my adobe draw projects have disappeared, and I’m told that even if I were able to get back into my student account, my projects still won’t be there.
If you store the draw projects locally (on the ipad), please don’t restrict them to a specific account.
I just lost a year’s worth of projects and sketches. I have been told that there is not trace or remnant of what I was working on unless I moved it to illustrator at one point (which weren’t that…

Add panning and zooming with keyboard and mouse
I’m trying to use illustrator for ipad with a keyboard and mouse but only being able to pan and zoom with my hands really is disruptive to my workflow (coming from a desktop user). It definitely requires a big habit change on my part to lift my hand up to the screen everytime I want to move the canvas around, but I would LOVE to have the pan and zoom by holding spacebar and moving around as well as cmd + scrolling respectively. This is the only thing making me not want to switch to using illustrator for ipad full…

iPad copy/paste Mac
I can’t copy/paste stuff between Illustrator on my iPad and on my Mac and it’s a bit annoying… I also can’t really paste stuff in Illustrator on the iPad from the internet
Is it possible to change that?7 votes -
PDF export options (e.g crop marks and bleed)
This is one feature that would really help my workflow! Also the option to select different PDF formats e.g 2001 etc would help. Affinity offers this but in a really confusing format.
