Font Height Options
This feature, first introduced in Illustrator 2020 (version 24.3) in August of 2020, allows users to set font size not only traditionally, by its line height, which includes ascenders and descenders, but also based on lowercase and capital letters’ height.
To access this function, we should open the Character panel’s flyout menu and enable 'Font Height Options' option. This adds one more dropdown in the panel and modifies the look of the Font Size field’s icon, reflecting the chosen font height reference.

Global Edit (Editing similar shapes together)
This feature, first introduced in CC 2019 (version 23.0.0), on October 15 of 2018, allows users to search shapes or groups that are similar to the currently selected one, within a customizable set of parameters one can access through Properties or Control panels.
Users can have the searched artwork to strictly match the size and the appearance of the selected object, to limit the search to a specific artboards and/or canvas. We can also exclude some copies from the results.
Changes applied to the original object while in the Global Edit mode, get transferred to all found and highlighted copies…

Improved 3D effects and Adobe Substance materials
We have introduced new and improved '3D and Materials' effects in 26.0 this year. These effects have been fully rebuilt using modern rendering technology and apart from being much more stable than classic 3D effects, they also allow you to:
* Apply and edit 3D effects conveniently through a non-blocking panel with real time preview.
* Texture artwork using Adobe Substance 3D materials that are highly adjustable. Choose from built-in materials in the panel or upload your own.
* Light up artwork with environment and directional light along with shadows.
* Create smooth and curvy extrusions using the new Inflate…1 voteThere is a separate request now regarding adjustable color and opacity for 3D shadows: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47054086
All those who commented on the topic until August 8, 2023, are already added as voters there.
If this is something you want to have for 3D and Materials in Illustrator — please upvote it.
If possible — create new requests and bug reports about 3D, rather than commenting here inside. This will help the team to better prioritize efforts on making the feature better. As always — thanks for the feedback! It helps.

List View in Tool Drawer
In all fresh installs, Illustrator opens with the Essentials Workspace, which is a lightweight workspace with a very Basic toolbar. In the toolbar, below all the tools, there are three dots that open up the tools drawer where rest of the tools are housed.
We redesigned the tool drawer to make it easier to select and add the additional tools in your main toolbar. Specifically, we are adding:
- List View and Grid View button.
- Making Grid View as the default view
- Temp selection of tool from Drawer. Meaning, when you click on a tool in the tools drawer, and do…

Intertwine
Intertwine allows you to create overlapped/intertwined shapes easily. And it keeps the shapes live and editable (that is it’s non destructive).
• Select the shapes you want to overlap.
• Go to Object > Intertwine > Make
• The cursor will now change to a Lasso Tool. Create the temporary zone (to tell Illustrator where you want the overlapping to happen).
• If the zone has only two overlapping paths, overlapping will happen automatically. If there are more than two paths, then hover on the path you want to bring front/back, right click, and choose appropriately from the right-click context…0 votes -
Simplified Variable Width Strokes
Now when you expand a variable width stroke, you get the same, precise appearance with very less anchor points. The simplified variable width stroke now allows for easy editing of anchor points.
Please let us know your feedback for this.
