Please share your thoughts on the following:
1. Would it make sense to have a separate desktop app, just to create charts, and bring them inside Illustrator or InDesign? It may not be on cloud.
2. Or would you rather have us work on building it within Illustrator?
Thanks

I like the Microsoft method for a graphing tool. For all practicable purposes, it appears to be built into each program but it's actually a separate "plugin" that all the Office programs can access.
I like the idea of being able to create a graph right in the program I'm in, such as InDesign, Illustrator, Captivate, etc.
An error occurred while saving the comment RE: One Charts
First, it's only "free" during the beta stage, but will have a credit-purchase system when released.
Second, it exports out as a PNG, URL, and (I believe) iFrame code. I couldn't find anything on the PNG pixel dimensions, so I don't know if it would be suitable for print. (Plus, print would require additional manipulation to prevent RGB black printing in CMYK.)
Third, as far as PNG is concerned, I'm not sure how it would be that different from using Excel and exporting the chart.Please let me know if I got anything work as I only looked at their website.

We have done further updates to Dimension tool with recently released version - 28.3
You can create and use your custom scale for dimension, hide or show units on dimensions and dimensions are now sticky to the object - they transform as well when you transform the object.
An error occurred while saving the comment @Jody Roberts--If you are referring to Hotdoor CADtools, they have old installers on their website.
An error occurred while saving the comment @Bradley I don't think I made myself clear--sorry. If Adobe purchased the rights to CADtools, it would simply become part of Illustrator just like Teacup Software's Table plugin simply became part of InDesign. There would not be an extra fee beyond what the Creative Cloud costs. Of course, older versions of Illustrator would see the static objects but older versions would break any of the CAD editing features.
An error occurred while saving the comment I would hope Adobe would purchase CADTools, not put them out of business! Hotdoor is a small mom-and-pop business. Adobe has purchased plugins (or at least the technology) in the past with InDesign's Table and Cell Styles from TeaCup Software.
An error occurred while saving the comment One never knows what features they plan to add. Hope springs eternal...
An error occurred while saving the comment Because this feature has been requested for years now (decades!), it has to be a deliberate omission by Adobe. I feel there are two possible reasons: 1] it's too complicated for the programmers, or 2] it's not part of the Adobe road map. I doubt it's the former reason. I think that Adobe sees Illustrator as mainly an "art" program. Why else would it not have auto-dimensioning (like CorelDRAW), flow chart features (like Office apps or CorelDRAW), and modern charting functions (like Excel) after all this time?

An error occurred while saving the comment I believe CC Libraries was added in CC 2018. I assume by "cloud-based version" you mean when the CC subscription started--AFAIK, there is no cloud version.
As a work-around, you can add objects filled with gradients to the CC Library. Then right-click to Place a Copy. The gradients will be added to the Swatches.

Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!
Dear Illustrator Community,
I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.
While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.
Our Approach
We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.
It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…

If you used the Microsoft Graph tool, you never realize you are using an external tool; it feels like it's part of the program you are in.
So, not a separate tool so much as a call-out to the same component in AI and ID.
