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.

Pattern preview
Please add a feature for illustrator that is a pattern preview, such as in photoshop or affinity designer. Since illustrator is literally for patterns and illustrations, this feature should be in AI

Intertwine tool
The intertwine tool just announced on desktop would be perfect for iPad. Same with having the neon, old school, retro presets.

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…

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?

add Width Tool, Rotate Canvas, Swatches, Align To, Overlap, Desktop options in Isolation Mode
I look at Vectornator and Procreate and I saw how complex and user friendly Thayer were able to make their apps as a substitute for Adobe Illustrator now being iPad friendly. I used them to substitute what Adobe didn’t provide on iPad. Now we have it and it is NOT NEARLY close to what the other apps have accomplished and they are without half the staff and workmanship power Adobe provides. I don’t believe we can have excuses with this... too long a wait and I expect you would not need so much suggestions to make right what you already…

Additional desktop keyboard shortcuts
Just a few more artboard navigation shortcuts such as:
CMD 0: fit artboard on screen.
SPACE and drag to move artboard on screen.For those of us with ipad pros who are migrating to using ipads more frequently than our laptops, this would make illustrator a much more authentic design tool.

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

iOS Illustrator has no Apple Pencil specific features
I find the Creative Cloud apps on my Apple iPad Pro do not proper take advantage of the Apple Pencil. Other apps can distinguish between Pencil input and finger inputs to provide better and more intuitive drawing. There are finger-Pencil combinations, finger vs Pencil input choices, and so on. For example, one of the more useful options I have seen in other drawing apps are the Pencil as the normal brush while the single finger is used for smudging or erasing. Adobe should adopt something like this. Optimally, a separate selection for each Pencil and finger inputs. Additional actions could…

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…
