This effect can be achieved with Calligraphy brushes. Set one up in Brushes panel, use angle 0, change the size to be the thickest weight you want, and use the roundness value to change it at thinner horizontal parts. If you want 4x difference, set it to 25% of the set size. Done — apply it to any path you want.

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a workaround you are probably aware of, with a clipping mask and the Draw Inside mode with the Isolation mode.
The workflow can be automated, but with a script, and not an action, and not fully, because Ai still does not give proper control over Isolation commands.
There is also View > Trim View, but it’s temporary and not a real clipping. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Armon, I feel like it does not behave like this for me.
New artboard now gets dropped next to the active one, using the spacing value defined in Object > Artboards > Rearrange All Artboards dialog (which you can’t access though when you have the only one artboard on canvas, which is a big miss — here is the request to fix that: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/43218936)But you say it gets dropped in the middle... Does it do it for you still?
As for the grabbing of objects which happen when you move artboards, it’s the fault of the 'Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard' button, which is located in Control panel, or its alter-ego, the 'Move artwork with Artboard' checkmark in Properties panel.
Both are not sticky are get re-enabled — not on every app launch, but on every app crash (which happens quite a while).AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Julia, this is what happens in Illustrator now — the active artboard is highlighted in the Artboards panel with a blue stripe.
Does it work for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Alex, can you please share the text file and record the small video or GIF to demo it?
I can advise using www.cockos.com/licecap/ or https://blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam/ for this -

An error occurred while saving the comment Arrowheads considered by Illustrator as 'complex' appearance, not a basic attribute of a stroke, like weight or dashes or color. Therefore Eyedropper can’t pick them in the default mode.
But you can force it to pick and apply it.
Pick the the tool and hit Enter to open the tool’s options.
Check both Appearance options in each column.
Try to use the tool now.There are some complexities with this mode though, so I suggest using it only when necessary, because it can give debatable results with groups. Be careful.

An error occurred while saving the comment While it gets implemented (and I am sure we have to wait for a long time), a commercial plugin VectorFirstAid by Astute Graphics can do that with its Break Text At Selection command.
There is a small difference though, it converts an area text into separate point type texts, but you can convert them back to area type ones by clicking the right handle and applying Remove Line Breaks commands, provided by the same plugin.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, Transform gets shrunk into a caption if the width of the Control panel does not allow to fit all the elements.
You can customize the panel, just slightly, by unchecking things you can deal without, to make it fit — but yeah, it’s more a workaround than a solution.
InDesign’s Control is just taller and a bit better organized, in two rows.
I wish we had more options to edit the layout of it. So — voted.An error occurred while saving the comment I don’t get it. It does show up in control panel. Can you explain it more?

An error occurred while saving the comment Hm. Direct Selection tool does not allow to isolate at the first place, and never was able to.
Selection tool (with the corresponding option on) allows it, but corner widgets don’t get displayed when ordinary Selection tool is active, so I guess your assumption is wrong, both of them... but you say turning widgets off helps, and this is not something what I see when I try to replicate it.
There is also a Group Selection tool (as a separate tool or the the Alt/Opt-mode for a Direct Selection tool) — it selects the parent object, going up in the hierarchy with every next click — but you don’t mean that either.
So... I have no idea why you try to isolate with double-click using Direct Selection. Why did you think it does? Does it really work for you?

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator has symbols, and you can utilize them to achieve this, with a minor restrictions (dynamic symbols can’t have text and mesh objects inside, and both static and dynamic symbols can’t have placed images in them).
However I assume you know this and it doesn't satisfy you.
Why would you want to do that? What is the purpose of two or more artboard-sized duplicates?
Please give some more details. -

Hi Everyone,
This functionality is available in our latest release build – 27.6.1.
Hex code for the colors is visible in the Color and Swatch Option Panel. It will be visible for Global Colors as well. You can easily copy the Hex value by clicking on '#' icon before the code.
What's New in the release - https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/whats-new.html
Thank you for all the feedback.
An error occurred while saving the comment I have several more questions I find tough with this.
I understand the reason, but I can't agree with the solution you offer.Imagine the RGB HEX filed does get added into Swatches panel, for you to grab the value of a selected swatch easily. Cool.
Now I am user who designs for print. I don’t care about HEX values most of the time. What Ai should show me instead? CMYK values? All four of them? Don’t display anything? Display hexes only for RGB swatches? :)If you want it to show exactly the same HEX field as Color panel now does — well, why not you use both of these for this task, like the screenshot below shows?
One panel is designed for editing a color, the other one is for storing colors...
Does your desire to have less panels opened worth blurring clear purposes? Why give yet another duplicate of the same thing? I really mean you to answer these, please.Here you have a swatch selected and the code above, ready to be copied... Sure, this applies only to non-global swatches. For globals Ai allows only to edit the tint, and not to grab the HEX value — this is something I am ready to vote for!
And Properties — sure, I can’t see a reason to not display the HEX field right there next to the 'Fill' chip. It is supposed to be a contextual panel and it fails this mission so far.

An error occurred while saving the comment Preston, what do you mean exactly by 'converted to RGB'?
Do you mean swatches are RGB? The won’t change magically if you manually switch the Document Color Mode.
Or do you mean the Color panel is stuck forever in the RGB or HSB mode?
Or do you mean all embedded images are now RGBs, although you placed CMYKs?
There are many interpretations and not much details provided.
Please tell the full story. -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are two ways to address this problem.
1. Per document.
Create a line or a rectangle, press D to reset the appearance to the default one, and then apply a stroke weight you want. Then open the Graphics Styles panel and drag-n-drop you shape with the proper weight over the [Default] style in the panel. This will force this appearance to be applied to all new objects in a document, when D is pressed.
2. For all new documents
Locate the folder with document profiles.
On Windows it should looks something like
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 26 Settings\[language, like 'en_US']\x64\New Document ProfilesOn MacOS it’s somewhere here
Users > [user account] > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator 26 > [language, e.g. 'en_GB'] > New Document ProfilesOpen the profile you want to change (I use Print and Web).
Repeat the same steps as above, delete the shape you used to override the default graphics style and save the document.
If Illustrator forbids you to do it, save it elsewhere and then replace the original files.
Now all new documents based on a certain document profile will have the default weight you defined.This method can be also used to change default swatches, default fonts, etc.
Don’t forget to backup you document profiles, because Illustrator tends to overwrite them on update.

An error occurred while saving the comment Nora, does it still happen for you with newer releases?
Kristen, you can drag-n-drop the brush on the canvas to edit.
Once you are finished with edits, Alt/Opt+drag it over the brush preset in the Brushes panel back to update it.
Of course, this is not as fast as editing symbols, and there is a request to allow us to edit brushes with the same manner: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44725501-edit-a-brush-like-a-symbol-on-canvas
