  2. Drag layer on to another to create clipping mask

    Having used Affinity designer for a while I am blown away by the whole UI. It makes using illustrator a chore in comparison but I need to have After effects compatibility. A stand out feature is being able to drag a layer on top of another to create a clipping mask. It also doesn’t delete the mask layer so no need to duplicate it first if you want to keep the mask source. It is a much better solution than Adobe and should be added to desktop and iPad!

  3. Perspective assistance grid from Adobe Draw

    In previous app Adobe Draw had most unique feature of perspective grid which also allowed us to draw circles in perspective view with super ease, it was helpful for more complex geometric design and we were able to faster draw with free hand, I request to Adobe Team please re-introduce this feature in Illustrator.

  6. Merging artboards on same file

    Being able to take an artboard from one file and moving it to another or making it easier to see two files side by side on iPad and also be able to edit between the two. In my class I have to take a lot of stuff from past work for future work so making it easier to transform vectors by duplicating multiple artboards from different files into their own file would be beneficial. Along with better file arrangement and organization.

  7. Drag and Drop Artboard Copy

    In desktop, I can Alt and Drag a copy of an Artboard. Currently, it seems in iPad I can only use the Duplicate button. This gets annoying. I want to be able to drag a copy of an Artboard to whatever location I want. Auto placement is nice, but it creates more steps in the workflow. I.e. Duplicate - Locate - Move. Whereas if I could drag a copy of an Artboard, I can move it up, down, left, right, diagonal, I always know where it is, and once it’s placed I don’t have to do anything else.

  8. Hiding Properties Panel

    When I’m working with text with the Properties panel open, and then make the text live to edit - the Properties panel hides automatically. So, if I’m trying to select letters or words specifically to edit, I have to reopen the Properties panel. It of course reappears after closing the live text edit. I think I’d like the panel to stay up, or perhaps reappear after making a single letter or word selection.

  9. Create a share link with a locally saved file

    Currently you have to save your file to the cloud to share a link. Just like XD I would like to save my files locally and use the feature to share a link for reviews.

  10. Manual sync with CC

    Syncing saved files over from Illustrator Desktop to Illustrator for iPad takes forever (hours, or sometimes even days) while the app says no sync errors. It'd be great to be able to manually sync with CC!

  12. Initial View : File Organization Sucks.

    I want to have folders to tidy up my documents. I created the folders but I have to laboriously go through each document, press down on it, careful not to open it, then drag drag drag it up to the appropriate folder and drop it in. I did this a bunch of times only to find it had somehow moved everything into a nested folder I had, further messing up my document organization structure, yay.

    Suggestions: provide basic file organization tools like in any app: a Select tool where I can choose a random selection of thumbnails via checkboxes, and…

  13. Change Layer Colours

    Option to change layer colours so I can organise my layers better. Its too time consuming to edit and rename every one on the ipad.

  14. Spiral Tool Preview Checkbox

    Outside of using the default values for the Spiral tool, it's always been difficult to get real precision with respect to altering the decay while dragging and holding CMD / CNTRL. It would be super flexible if the tool had a Preview check box. Turning it on would generate a wireframe of the shape with the default values. Then we could try different settings to get the shape we want and then click Ok to produce the shape.

  15. Specific Export Options

    Can we please get better export settings like size options (where we can enter real numbers, not 1x-4x), ppi resolution, color space, etc. There is too much that is automatic and to get the correct results I often have to go to the desktop version. Please add the same level of customization for exports as the desktop, or at least more professional options for the iPad :)

  18. 鉛筆ツールをデスクトップ版と同じ仕様で使えたら、すごく嬉しいです…!

    鉛筆ツールで一度引いた線を描き直すときに、デスクトップ版だとその線を少しなぞって描き始めるか、線の近くで描き始めるかをすれば、元の線を変更させて描くことができますが、iPad版だとこれができず、新しい別の線になってしまうのが、僕にとってはとても惜しくて残念です…。

    このために今はiPad版を使わず、デスクトップ版をMacのサイドカーでiPadに飛ばして、アップルペンシルで描いています。
    iPadだけでできたら、生活スタイルを変えられるくらい便利になると思っていますので、どうぞよろしくお願い致します…!

  19. Magic Alignment (Text)

    Spark’s Magic Align feature is great for certain text treatments. It would be great to adapt that feature for Illustrator as an added text alignment option.

  20. I want to use the previous version of brush feeling again

    I'm using an illustrator on my iPad.
    I'm working with a blop brush.
    Before the update, the brush tool was calibrated to make the lines smooth automatically, but after the update, it has not been smooth...Is there a way to set up the brush like before the update? If not, I would like to have a setup window where the brush calibration effect can be displayed as before the update.
