Latest builds of Illustrator allow to edit most of created dimensions using Properties and Control panels.
The tool dialog sets options for new dimensions only and does not have a button to apply the set options to selected or all dimensions on canvas. If you wish to have a button like this in the dialog, please upvote this request.
If you have other weak points to point out — please comment or make a new request / report.
An error occurred while saving the comment Am I right thinking that you select some dimension objects, then press Enter (or click the gear button in the floating panel, or double-click the Dimension Tool button in the tool panel), and then try to edit some options in the dialog window, expecting these changes to apply to these dimensions you have selected?
As for the scale — there is a way to change the scale of these, so that all size are bigger or larger.
Please reply. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Sonoma, which MacOS version do you use?
Does it work better if you downgrade to a previous version of Illustrator — the earliest one the CCD allows to get?When you say you can’t access the tool panel — does it mean you can’t click it, or is it not visible, or something else?
Can you share screenshots of the artifacts you get on canvas you mention?
How much memory does Illustrator take specifically? -

An error occurred while saving the comment The trick I published below works much better in later versions.
You can apply a stroke to a clipping group with an ease and control the alignment directly form the Stroke panel. The Divide and Add effects are not required anymore, and holes are treated as expected.An error occurred while saving the comment Files
An error occurred while saving the comment There is a workaround I came up with, that solves this problem, almost completely, except for some minor limitations.
Please study the files attached.Some notes about the method:
1. Two Graphics Styles are created to apply these quickly.
2. You can't change the alignment when a style is applied, but can change everything else — color, weight, etc. This happens because
Ai doesn’t let us toggle the alignment, when a stroke is applied to a clipping group — even with this method. One part believes clipping groups can’t have aligned strokes (and thus Stroke panel has controls deactivated), but another part knows the stroke is aligned (and Appearance panel says so). That’s why styles were built using simple shapes.3. Divide effect should not remove empty paths in its options — otherwise the stroke won’t bound the clipping path itself — even when filled, the mask is considered to be empty by the effect.
4. No holes are possible with this method (see clip_stroke_inside-outside_hole) — you will see the background through them, but no stroke.
5. Method won’t work for clipped images, texts, meshes, blends, etc. Only simple graphics.
This is nowhere an ultimate solution, but a mere hack.
Please upvote the request to make it a legal proper functionality.
If I can come up with something like this, engineers at Adobe surely can do it better.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Glen, Enter is hardcoded to call the current tool’s options dialog.
It works for every tool that has options in Illustrator. For Selection tools it calls the Move dialog.
It is considered to be a 'core key', like Escape or Delete, or arrow keys, and these can’t be changed.There is request for that, however. I am merging your entry with it.
An error occurred while saving the comment Enter is common hotkey to access dialogue modes for every tool, not only selection.
I can't imagine how you use right Shift at all, but I agree that this key could be map-able.
It still sounds strange. It's like 'Please let me disable Esc, I put my cup on it.'
I won't vote for this, but I can advise you to study Autohotkey (Windows only sadly) which would allow you to remap Enter within AI. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you please record a small video of how do you do it exactly?
I am trying to replicate it and it seems to work for me, but I’m on Windows.
Perhaps I inserts a tab and make a line break in a wrong place? -

An error occurred while saving the comment A related request about the shadow bounds for the 3D and Materials’ shadows:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/47523377-make-shadow-bounds-for-3d-and-materials-to-auto-maAn error occurred while saving the comment Other apps limit the shadow in one way or another, just checked.
— Affinity Designer 2 allows no more than 1024 px blur (even though I try to create it within a A4 document, with 'mm' as my base unit and hardly care about pixels).
— Xara Pro allows a strange 1.06 cm maximum... which is actually probably 400 px at 96 dpi (Xara loves 96 instead of traditional Ai’s 72).
— CorelDRAW uses some nameless units to blur a shadow, up to a 100 (but they offer 5 variants of blurring!)
— Inkscape offers 200 px.
— Illustrator limits it to 144 px... again, it’s always in pixels, and the values doesn’t change based on the chosen raster effects resolution: with 72 or 300 dpi it’s always 144 px. If I try to create a shadow in a pront-based document, the value is 50.8 mm — same 144 px at 72 dpi. I know this number veeeery well.
But the maximum value is another thing, if you think about it.
The problem is clipping, that happens before the shadow ends. Only Ai has it.
The value It should be not 'Add some value', but 'Limit to a value', if you care about resource wasting... I guess there is no other reason to have the value at all.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Oh yeah.
There is another request about this, but it’s more about improving the existing dialog, rather than rethinking the workflow: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39689032And I can’t but repeat again that Stylism tool by Astute Graphics does it exactly like it’s needed, with live on-canvas controls.

An error occurred while saving the comment Woah. What is your file? A PDF with an Ai-compatibility enabled, or a plain .ai document?
What are the Placement Options for these images (and those which don’t behave like this)? You can review them from the Links panel’s flyout menu.
If it still happens — can you share the project with team? Send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com -

An error occurred while saving the comment Judy. I somewhat agree with it, and partially wonder, why don’t you just align text by center, using Paragraph options. Can you show how doesn’t it solve the problem? Can you share some specific cases, images? I am really interested in what you mean specifically.

An error occurred while saving the comment Mark, can you please provide the exact steps to replicate this, including all the commands and dialog names you call and use?
When did it start to happen, with which OS build or Ai build? Can you verify it at your side? -

An error occurred while saving the comment How many artboards does you EPS have?
Do you use just Save or Perhaps Save As or Save A Copy, or Export As?
If you do use a dialog, do you see the Suffix option in it? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Also — does it ever happen if you are using just plain Selection and not the Direct Selection tool?
An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t reproduce it yet, using nor 28.1 or Beta 28.2.0.58.
Does it happen for all brush types or specific ones only, like art brushes and/or scatter/pattern brushes?
How consistently it fails?
Does History panel reflects 'Apply Brush' step when you do it?
Can you try to catch it on video next time it happens, please?
Illustrator does allow that.
Go to Preferences and disable Zoom with Mouse Wheel in General section to be able to use Alt+scroll to zoom.
You can also disable Animated Zoom in Performance section, to enable back the zoom-to-marquee mode.
Does it work for you?
Or do you mean something else?
