Allow pencil to retrace a shape instead of creating a new one
Right now when I want to edit a shape I've drawn w/ the pencil tool I have to use the anchor edit tool. Can you make it so I can just retrace the shape in a certain area by drawing over an anchor point similar to how it is in the desktop application?

Repeat last action (like Ctrl/Cmd+D)
The Repeat Last Action (cmd+D) is missing from iPad app, it is a very useful repeat option that quickly repeats based on last duplication action.

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?

Convert repeated patterns into paths
I want to take a repeated pattern and use the shape builder on the result. There does not seem to be a way to finalise a pattern so that it can be converted to curves.
8 votesAs per the comment (quoted):
Select your pattern. In the task bar (on the right), tap object (square with dots in the corner and shapes inside of it) and choose Expand. This will create a grouped object inside a clipping path. The pattern can no longer be edited with the repeat task. If you want to delete the clipping path, double tap it and delete (you might want to change to Outline view to see the clipping path easier). Ungroup the objects or just double tap the object you want to edit.

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…

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…

Stroke opacity on shapes
Would love to have Stroke opacity setting on shapes, as on desktop Ai. Now, for example, I must create a filled shape and then add another shape only with stroke, if I want to tweak the stroke’s opacity.
Also width tool should be a must on iPad!

Apply brushes to strokes
We should be able to apply brushes to strokes of all kinds. The added brush tool is useless without this feature.
7 votesYou can assign brushes to path via the Properties panel on the right, in the Stroke section.

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.

Font search by typing the name instead of scrolling through list
Let me search for fonts by typing, rather than scrolling through a long list. In the future it would also be great if I could have some filtering features (serif, sans, script etc…)

Open 2 documets at the same time
It would be great to be able to open 2 different documents at the same time and switch from one to the other with tabs. I am using templates for my clients and when i am not in front of my computer, it is difficult to open then close, then open again one file and another.
