    A hot key or always visible button the the control bar would make this ideal.
    I found myself going back and forth to preferences to switch on and off.

    I would find this useful when sharing files for client review or by PDF, hiding any 'development' artboards.

    By locking artboards, select all then doesn't become an issue.

    Completed (Comments Open)  ·  AdminKoustav Saha (Product Manager, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Starting with Beta 29.7.1 the Rearrange dialog got a separate dedicated feature, currently called 'Align Manually'.

    With it disabled, artboards get positioned instantly in the center of the canvas, as it behaved previously.

    When this is enabled, you will enter the positioning mode after pressing OK — to allow rearranging only some artboards, to address this request.

    With more than 1 artboard selected (but not all), the mode gets enabled automatically (and becomes locked).

    The main issue I had was that the boards were not re-arranging due to there not being enough space when clicked. Zooming right out to see the are needed worked but this needs to made clearer as to why it isn’t working.

    Derek Watson commented  · 

    I agree, it’s not intuitive now and click the wrong way and no arrangement happens!

    I like the idea and how some of it works but the actual rearrangement needs fixed.

    The way XD does this is so much simpler.

    Need More Info  ·  Yogesh Sharma responded

    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
    Yogesh

    I would like it to be an enhancement of the tools within illustrator.

    Enable more customisation so you do not have to break apart.
    Better connection/creation form spreadsheet or live data.
    Live effects or connection to Appearance Panel.

    Basically simpler to use

    I posted this bug in InDesign forum, it’s an issue with the Photoshop update. Reverting a version then updating fixed it for me but not all.

    Need More Info  ·  AdminSaurav Agrawal (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Dear users,


    Can you please let us know what is that you cannot do with the existing 'save selection' functionality that you expect to do by grouping objects from different layers?


    'Save selection' enables you to combine objects from different layers without having to bring them into one single layer.


    To use 'save selection' just select your desired objects and save the selection from the select > save selection menu command or from the bottom of the layers panel.

    It is useful but the grouping across layers would be so much more useful and simpler for the end user

    Derek Watson commented  · 

    How does this vary from the old save selection option?

    Grouping items and they all move to a single layer can be useful but is mostly frustrating
