An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Steve, holding Opt/Alt for Lasso in Ps makes it subtract for an existing selection, just like Ai’s one does...
So what you mean by 'with more detail'?
Perhaps you refer to a Polygonal Lasso? Can you please elaborate? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I love this request.
It makes total sense to me and I do not recall anything similar here at UV, except for these:
1. Allow to customize colors for handle controls, anchors, and paths edges (permanently and context-based / on the fly) — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35067937
2. Multi color guides — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/20568925
3. Guide Colors to match Layer Colors — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38763232Great idea!

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, deleting fluff is a quite common operation, and Object > Path > Clean Up dialog doesn’t offer anything to help us.
Meantime, there are some ways to help with the task.
1. A free script by Carlos Canto: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/script-to-delete-the-line-which-is-small-in-length-and-line-on-one-another/td-p/3266017
2. A similar script by John Wundes: https://github.com/johnwun/js4ai/blob/master/SelectPathsBySize.jsx (mentioned in a general request here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31380736)
3. Plugins, like FindReplace Art by Astute Graphics: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/findreplace/findreplace-art-overview (search for '4. Linear Extent' on the page)
4. Probably NitPicker plugin by Hot Door: https://www.hotdoor.com/controlplugins (not sure though)AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Connor, what is your UI scaling, set in Preferences > User Interface?
What device do you use and what kind of scree does it have? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Severine, can you please check if you have Paste Remembers Layers option checked in the Layers panel’s flyout menu?
When it’s enabled, Illustrator tries to respect the original layers the objects were copied from and tries to paste them accordingly.
A very powerful option, but a hard to track one (and there are requests here at UV to handle it).If it is disabled though, it’d require investigation. Either way — please reply back.

An error occurred while saving the comment Laura, the team would need to see the actual PDF file to investigate this.
Please send it to sharewithai@adobe.com and mention the link to this report for tracking purposes — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48639686Also — how does Photoshop treats this PDF and how Acrobat views it?
Does toggling a preview mode in Illustrator from GPU to CPU make any difference? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Seems like the same problem happens for Library assets:
Alt-drag from a CC library to an artboard to create a linked object doesn't work reliably
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48637481An error occurred while saving the comment I am pretty sure that Illustrator can’t do anything with Caps Lock. It’s an OS behavior, and hacking into it is not easy.
At least this explains the problem... Thanks for sharing the observation, Chris! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Matt, here is a similar report about Alt not working reliably for normal local links: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/44577987
It is possible to happen because of Caps Lock being toggled.
Can you please check it and reply back?An error occurred while saving the comment For future reference, a feature request about changing the default behaviour for Alt-dragging:

An error occurred while saving the comment For future reference, the mentioned related bug report:
Alt-drag from a CC library to an artboard to create a linked object doesn't work reliably
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48637481An error occurred while saving the comment The intended solution is to drag it with the Alt/Opt held.
This is not a thing one can discover easily, since Ai does not change the cursor when you drag and press the modifier, does not hint it when hover over a library item... a sloppy job.
And sure, while Alt/Opt actually feels like a suitable behavior, some would like to modify it and swap the deafult behavior. But alas, Libraries are made by aliens who seems to know nothing about how Ai works :/ -

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator’s Smart Guides system doesn’t detect tangential and perpendicular relations, and Dimension Tool relies on this system.
There is a separate feature request on this you can upvote: Tangent Constraint or Advanced snapping system — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34733398
In scenarios like this I personally rely on a custom plugin from Astute Graphics suite, Perpendicular Line Tool, like one of two GIFs shows. Works for curves as well.
Another method that doesn’t require a plugin would be just to build a perpendicular manually, like the second GIF shows. Will works with straight lines only.

An error occurred while saving the comment Seems to be related to these two requests:
1. Show image output dimensions before exporting with Export As — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32242249
2. Add a way to see a preview with the set resolution in Export As dialog — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37998001An error occurred while saving the comment Nicola, Illustrator has several methods of exporting images.
Save for Web deals with one artboard only, therefore it’s possible to specify pixel dimensions for it.
Export As can export chosen artboards at once, but it works in bulk, with resolution coefficient only, and it has no control over dimensions per image. It better fits printing tasks.
Export for Screens is a newer method, designed to bridge these two methods together, — you have control over artboards, and can set specific dimensions. It’s not perfect, but can solve some problems you might have.
Have you tried it? If yes — why do you still prefer using Export As, if it does not have the thing you ask for? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Related to this request:
Select Fill or Stroke Does Not Make Selection Automatically Edit-Ready
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32316721An error occurred while saving the comment I don't get it. You propose that AI would automatically switch to setting fill (from stroke if it was active before), when you select object with fill, but no stroke? So you can change fill to other fill?
If so — then no.
AI can't guess your intentions. And if it would try — it will ruin other people's workflows, switching fill/stroke when they don't want to. What if I intend to set stroke, for example?But I think this switch should automatically change to fill if 'Select same fill' is executed and same for stroke.
There is a request for this:

Holding Shift (or Ctrl) to move RGB sliders together in Color panel doesn’t work when color is white
15 votesAvailable now in Beta Beta 30.9.0.32. Please try it!
An error occurred while saving the comment Affinity Designer does it worse, BTW.
If any slider is at 255, holding Shift won’t work.
And it won’t work for clear black, unlike in Illustrator, — at least one slider ahve to be non-zero.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment My bad.
I forgot to mention this got broken in the latest GA release and then fixed in the Beta 28.6 build 62: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/35245114Have no idea why the team holds it from being pushed into the main release...
Regarding Save for Web — ah, so you compare Save for Web in PS with Export for Screens! Well, then yes.
Well, as you know, Ai has its win Export > Save for Web (Legacy), It has ALMOST the same controls, and allows PNG dither controls, preview, but no proper profile management (there is a separate report on this you voted for — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/34662151)...
But sure, it does not allow handling several pieces at once.An error occurred while saving the comment I bet Ps calculates the bounds of the pasted artwork on its own side, no matter how Ai handles it.
I am almost sure it’s just a coincidence and encourage you to log or upvote an existing request for Ps at their side. The last time we tried it, Ps team discovered they can’t paste layers directly, and quickly developed a way to handle them (well, mostly). So this can work in this case as well. The more we push Adobe, all parties involved, the better. Please do it!I do not think these are better merge. The practice shows when these are clumped in more generalized request, the team tends to provide the laziest on-top solution, ignoring the shades and variants. In some other case I am all into merging, but here I hesitate...
Several years ago we were able to persuade the team to respect the clipping mask’s bounds for Export and Rasterize.
So in this case you could have rasterize it directly in Ai and the unembed the result into a file. There are other solutions and workflows, but there are so many differences between expectations we have about exporting... I can’t tell if these fit yours :)Also, I am curious — why do you think Photoshop’s Save for Web is superior?

An error occurred while saving the comment No, older version of Ai behave exactly the same way. Checked this with several of these, down to CS1.
It does not matter which paste method is used, and drag-n-drop behaves the same.I agree with the request, and there are several related ones on a similar topic:
1. If a symbol contains clipping groups or freeform gradients, its bounding box is calculated based on bounds of clipped contents, not masks — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/43447725
2. Add an option for the Layers panel to show tight bound thumbnails for clipping groups — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48231464
3. Make Envelope Distort to ignore the clipped part of a clipping group — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48608672
etc....but I suspect it’s something Photoshop should handle. If you add a request at the Photoshop forums (https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-ideas/how-do-i-write-a-feature-request/idi-p/12384447 — I encourage you to do it) — please share a link here in the comments below, so that other users could vote for it there.

Ah, I see. This is a thing I either never knew or totally forgot.
I suppose it’d be hard to implement, because Ai and Ps treat modifier keys differently. This usage though is similar to how Ai treats them — 'active while being held', unlike 'hold before click but feel free to release after' Ps uses.
Thanks for clarification! Voted.
