An error occurred while saving the comment So that is basically about the automation of clipping, right? 'Flatten clipping'?
Like this one? https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/35456389-convert-a-clipping-mask-into-a-crop — 'convert a clipping mask into a crop'There are several other related request to this:

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed! Now, when I try it your way, I can’t remember how I tried it in my attempt. Perhaps not exactly with a click? Feels painful. Voted.
An error occurred while saving the comment Wes, is this still an issue for you in the latest version of Illustrator? I can’t reproduce it.
Can you please demonstrate it a short video or a GIF, or at least show the layer structure and the objects on canvas you try to click to select? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Laura, VectorScript? Never heard of it. Perhaps you meant InkScribe?
InkScribe is powerful enough indeed, and provides some additional cool features, but I can’t really say it’s essential.In fact, you don’t have to use three different tools even when you master the native Ai’s Pen tool, every subtool is accessible via modifiers.
Ctrl toggles the Direct selection (but yep, only if you had it enabled before, and not the plain Selection tool), Alt toggles the Anchor Point mode, Add and Remove are just context-driven, if you have 'Disable Auto Add/Delete' unchecked in Preferences > General...
It’s just different, and follows its own way, sure you have to learn it. It took me some time, years and years ago, but now I just fine with both approaches.
Perhaps though, there is some specific 'how to do this' which torments you? If you record the workflow in CorelDraw, using its Shape tool, perhaps I can advise the way to achieve in in Illustrator, or otherwise — verify Ai lacks a thing?I am not saying Ai is just great, on the contrary, I’d love to hear more about the experience from a fresh Corel user.

An error occurred while saving the comment For some reason this particular request seems very attractive for spammers and bots, indeed. However, these last comments here are not much different from others. Fresh users, single comments, nothing useful said, no votes added, no other activity, a certain location used, a certain email pattern, certain naming conventions...
Bots who say they are tired of bots is something new. OK, prove me wrong in a week or get banned. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Hmm. For the task you describe spot swatches are just enough. Logos don’t use a extensive range of colors (usually), they are limited.
You don’t have to have the whole document’s color mode in Lab to use Lab swatches (and Pantone has no monopoly on values or the method).
Yet you ask for the whole color mode... so I am still interested — what is the workflow that requires you to have Lab as a MODE, which gives some benefits over using spots?I am no gatekeeper for this, I am just curious :) Editing photos in Lab is one thing, but designing vector graphics, ALL in Lab... just why?
An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, Illustrator, unlike Photoshop, deals with two color modes only (as given in File > Document Color Mode): CMYK and RGB, because these cover two main media types: print and screen. Any of these two won’t be able to reproduce the full range Lab provides, so it feels natural to not have it.
Photoshop deals with images produced with natural light, and it makes sense to store and edit raster images within L*a*b* space... but vector images are usually get crafted artificially almost always, and there is no real benefit of having Lab as one the general modes...
Some other apps follow this same approach: Corel Photopaint / Draw, Inkscape — but Affinity Designer has Lab, as their Photo.
However, just the fact it exists in competing apps does not mean it worth the effort. Is there a workflow or a task which can benefit having Lab color mode in Illustrator? Please provide some examples or descriptions of these. -

This can be done with Transform panel’s flyout menu — disable 'Use Registration Point for Symbol' option.
An error occurred while saving the comment The related conversation on forums:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/how-to-change-the-transformation-point-in-symbols/m-p/10521205An error occurred while saving the comment It took me a while to remember one can do it.
While this is the actual solution, the discoverability is an issue.
Why there is no way to toggle it in the Symbols panel’s menu?
Why can’t we have it per symbol?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Arseny, can you please check if it is still a problem for you in the latest Illustrator? It feels like it’s been fixed and the art gets pasted fine with the 'Paste Remembers Layers' option enabled. Even when I copy objects from different layers — it works OK.

An error occurred while saving the comment Seems fine :/
An error occurred while saving the comment Hm. To me it feels like a normal behaviour. I even rechecked it. When you rotate a text inside of the envelope, it gets distorted according to the shape of the envelope.
I can’t understand what were you trying to achieve, by looking at your screenshot, but I would like to understand it.
Can you elaborate on this? What were you trying to do with it and why do you think it does not work how it is supposed to? -

The team is exploring the ways to increase the limit.
An error occurred while saving the comment Also there is a report about Illustrator falling back to the initial font size when scaling a text over the maximum value: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/42111295
While the limit is obviously a legacy thing, that behaviour is not.An error occurred while saving the comment This happens when the goal font size of the scaled text object goes beyond the maximum allowed value — 1296 pt.
Why Illustrator prefers just to fall back to the original size when it happens and not cap it at 1296 — a mystery I know nothing about.
Hence I add a vote.And some believe that the limit is just dated, and it should be removed. You can also vote for it here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/31773148-allow-type-to-scale-larger-than-1296-pts
An error occurred while saving the comment 'Volunteer lawyer' :D
I like that!
Sadly, I am not 15 anymore. And surely I am not going to persuade anybody it’s OK to have this limit. I just know why it exists.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, this is an intended limit for text size.
That’s PostScript limitation, as far as I know.There are many requests to make it bigger, like the one for InDesign — https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/31850848-please-allow-font-size-larger-than-1296-pt, or this one for Illustrator — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31773148.
Vote there, if you want to.

An error occurred while saving the comment Free Distort works with live text alright, it stays live and surely distorted.. but only the effect, not the tool! As for the Perspective — indeed it gets outlined or just ignored, depending on the way you manipulate it.
An error occurred while saving the comment I personally do jobs like this in Photoshop, using vector smart objects (link or embedded) wrapped in another smart objects, to allow perspective distortions. This is fluid enough workflow, and I prefer using Ps over Ai, because the photo is a raster image in the first place, and the result will be raster too. Ps allows much more control than Ai would ever have, even if this got implemented. Shadows, color correction, night and lighting and volume imitation..
I vote though, to have it noticed, because it's not that easy to work with perspective, and distortion options are limited.
Have you tried Illustrator’s Perspective tools for this job though, Claudio?
Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1gJRhPL1yk
Meshes are not 'paths', they are their own basic entities, and indeed are immune to Shape Builder because of that.
There is no direct command to convert a mesh back into a path, but if you want to generate a path form a mesh, for the tool to see it, you have these options.
1. Select the mesh, Object > Path > Offset Path, enter 0 — to get the exact outline for the mesh (in most case it is the equivalent for 'backwards conversion')
2. Grab the free MeshTormentor plugin and use its 'Make BMG (brush mesh grid) function — to get the flat representation of mesh cells, keeping the colors (but not the smooth transitions)
I’d like to see the workflow and the case you are having which requires of you to use the Shape Builder on meshes. What are you trying to do? What is the goal, what is that you are building? It can help to understand the real problem the team might need to address. Please record a short video or a GIF to see that.
