An error occurred while saving the comment The team is developing the Dimension Tool (already accessible in Ai Beta), and it allows to set scales for dimensions, the same way CADTools can.
Alas, the team has no known intentions to also introduce scales for everything else. Ai is not a specialized CAD software, and it’s built in a way it won’t ever truly be one, and the general demand on it won’t ever be high enough to get these — I think. Dimensions is one thing, scales it a much more specialized feature...
Still I am upvoting this. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Filip, thank you for reporting this (I mean it).
The team is aware and will try to fix this problem in the upcoming minor release.
Also at the moment it works properly with English only and I am not sure it’s announced anywhere clearly enough.As for the second problem... not sure if it’s the same one. Can you please record a short video to demo how it fails exactly?

An error occurred while saving the comment Oh yes. Everything this generates is rather sketchy. It can’t create straight lines, accurate circles, nice arcs, it poorly understands symmetry. As Von Glitschka stated, "The ‘Text to Vector’ generative ai feature should be titled ‘Text to Clip-Art."
And a rather poor clipart — "The irony of ‘Text to Vector’ generative AI is the imagery is being cobbled together based on artwork that took skill and craftsmanship to originally create. And the derivative result lacks those same traits."
Imitation, simulacrum.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Actually, Illustrator allows to do that now, with the Free Transform tool (default hotkey is E).
See the GIF attached. You have to hold Ctrl (to allow distortion), plus Alt (to include the opposing corner), plus Shift (to allow symmetry).
Generally this tool is much better than having the bounding box enabled all the time (that’s why I disable the box and hit E when I need to scale or distort).Does this work for you?
It has some limitations, but there are also workarounds :) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Do you still have this problem?
If yes — can you please record a short video to demonstrate how exactly do you try to make it work?Double click with the Width Tool on a path should open Width Point Edit dialog, which allows you to control the marker numerically. To add markers interactively, you have to click, hold and drag away from the path... Please demo how it works for you.

An error occurred while saving the comment And I can’t but notice that there is no key we can hold to quickly delete the width markers.
I assumed it should be Delete while the marker is held, but it does nothing. Booo.AdminEgor Chistyakov

The bug is fixed in the latest public release 28.0.
Please check and reply back if it now works as expected.
An error occurred while saving the comment I see what you mean.
No, there is no way to allow sharp transitions with this tool (unlike Curvature tool can do for the paths).
Yes, this is a thing we definitely need.
The workaround exist, and it’s an ugly one: if you place two width markers very close to each other, Ai will have to make the transition almost sharp. If you zoom in or expand though, it looks very ugly and is a mess.
Another way I prefer using — art brushes. But editing them interactively is impossible (therefore I once made this request — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44725501-edit-a-brush-like-a-symbol-on-canvas)Let me make a proper feature request out of it :) Please upvote — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/47343821-allow-to-make-sharp-transitions-using-width-tool
An error occurred while saving the comment @Katarina, nah, it’s OK, this inside loop is expected.
Look at how it was in CS6 (mind the roughness that is getting smoothed out now).
Illustrator has to make this loop inside to respect your chosen width, and connect it smoothly with other markers... everything’s fair.But do you notice the problem reported previously? The inability to place another marker, when one is placed on a closed path? a sharp step at the first point? Please look at the attached GIFs — do you see anything like this now?
An error occurred while saving the comment I confirm that.
It feels like it’s somehow related to smooth points. If I apply a variable width to an ellipse — I no longer can add width markers or edit existing ones. If I convert a live shape to a path — nothing changes, it is still immune and broken. Removing a point does not help, and the starting/ending point indeed has a sharp transition.
Changing a profile for a rectangle works fine... but if you convert all points to smooth ones — it breaks if you want to modify it! If you convert points to smooth one by one instead — it does not! This is a disaster!AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Dreamweaver is a great example of how an Adobe app can and should manage this: https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/dreamweaver/using/synchronizing-dreamweaver-settings-creative-cloud.html
Keeps settings as XML files.
Has a dedicated section in Preferences.
Offers to pick data to be synced.
Supports automated and manual modes.
Manages sync conflicts.
Not ideal — but it cares.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Preran, let’s discuss it more.
Do you have specific images you have in mind?
What do you want the results to be type-wise: an effect, a pattern, an actual path splitting? How much control over which parameters do you need?
Do you know about the plugins that already exist in the market, that offer a similar functionality (specifically SymmetryWorks — https://artlandia.com/products/SymmetryWorks/)?
What do you like about them and what do you want to get improved in comparison? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Very true. Same applies for any other preset list Ai has, really...
We need custom default documents sizes, custom default strokes, custom default scale in the upcoming Dimension tool’s options, custom default font/leading/baseline shift sizes...
Each of this should not only allow to add your own presets, but also remove those you don’t need.
And this also applies to hiding menu items (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/31623847-customize-illustrator-menu) — something Photoshop already has.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment I see what you mean. Indeed, InDesign does snap tits panel to the area which has the cursor, while Illustrator does this only when a single text area is selected. Not very convenient to jump from these two modes (especially when there is no quick way to start editing a text with a hotkey: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38242195 — although even with it it won’t be solved).
'Ideally' — agree :) but in a practical world we have to specify these difference directly, one by one.
An error occurred while saving the comment John, it seems like it works as we expect of it in the latest versions, and the Tabs now get positioned correctly over one column from many, when the Magnet button is clicked. Can you confirm this, plese?

An error occurred while saving the comment True! To be fair, Ai never was able to do that. If the shift is large enough for the click to be below the descender line, Ai does not allow to move by the anchor anymore.
A stupid workaround you can use for now is to add a space in the end and set the shift for it to zero.

Does for me...
Which folder does it open then?
What happens if you navigate to the proper folder manually, open something form there, and then try to call the command again?
