1. Text to Vector

   We have introduced the revamped Text to Vector feature.

   We have introduced a new model and would want to hear your feedback on the quality of outputs. Additionally, we have made changes to the user experience of the feature and worked on providing greater control to influence the generation of vector graphics. A few highlights:

   The new modal interaction allows the provision of appropriate user controls to influence the generation along with the prompts.

   The properties panel is offered more contextually, and the options related to Generate Vectors come up in the panel, once a generated object is selected.

   Generated patterns are now housed under the Fill pop-up and there is a new tab for patterns.

5. 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 option.
   * Rotate artwork more easily using the new on-canvas controls.
   * Once you've setup your 3D object, render it using Ray tracing with adjustable quality options.

   There are more features we're actively working on bringing to these effects. Please share your feedback and suggestions from your experience of using these new effects.

   There are now several separate requests made, based on the feedback in this thread:

   1. Regarding adjustable color and opacity for 3D shadows:

   https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47054086

   2. Regarding presets for each tab in 3D and Materials panels: Object, Materials, Lighting:

   http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47350001

   All those who commented on the topic until October 16, 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.

6. 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.

   You can read the official help article here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/align-text.html

   If you have any feedback specific to this feature, you can leave it here in comments and log a separate report / request here at UserVoice, or upvote existing entries.

7. 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 of it.

   There are some limitation to it. You can read more about the way it can be utilized here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/global-edit.html

   If you have some feedback regarding this feature, please post it here in comments, or log a separate report or request here at UserVoice.

9. 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 Menu. (Please see attached two videos of examples).

   We'd love to get your feedback on this as we develop it. We are developing this functionality in phases, and each subsequent release/beta drop will have more options added.

10. Place Link Cloud PSD file in Cloud Ai document

    Now, you can place-link cloud PSDs (.psdc file format) in your Illustrator cloud document (.aic file format).

    On Desktop:
    Links Panel will now display an additional cloud icon for PSDs placed from Cloud.
    Additionally, in Illustrator cloud file, we now save a low-resolution image of linked-assets (of both local assets on your machine and PSDCs in Cloud). So if a linked-asset goes missing (path changed or deleted), instead of showing an empty box in your Illustrator file, we will now display a low-resolution image of that asset.

    On iPad:
    Status of the linked PSDC (missing/broken link) will be displayed on the asset itself. We are also introducing a contextual links panel to perform quick actions (Relink, Update, Embed Link).

    Please share your feedback/thoughts on place-linking in cloud Ai files in this thread. Ability to place-link other formats (png/jpg/eps/etc) will be delivered soon too.

    • The comments are brought back in Illustrator through the new comments panel which can be invoked from the Windows Menu.
    • Designer can review the comment and resolve the feedback.

12. 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.

13. 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 not add it to the toolbar, and also exit the customization mode, we'll temporarily load that tool and show at the bottom of all tools in the toolbar.

    Please share your feedback/thoughts on this revamped tool drawer.

    This feature overhauls the older search experience in Illustrator. 'Discover' feature allows you to search for help, tools, hands-on tutorials, and articles within the Illustrator app. Discover panel offers contextually relevant help and learning resources to help you level-up and accelerate your workflow.

    The panel is similar to what was shipped in Photoshop as well: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/photoshop-discover.html
