An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry, do you mean Effect > Convert to Shape effects, Rectangle and Ellipse?
Sounds interesting.
More parametric shapes here will help to create more interesting graphic styles for sure.
If it allows to add a custom Symbol... should it be used it as it is? or United first? what will happen if a user deletes a symbol? -

An error occurred while saving the comment We need 5 different tools for basic operations for several reasons.
1. Legacy. If it works — do not change it. You can call it 'consistency' too, but with previous versions. You say it matters to you!
2. Simplicity. Having one tool that have only one dialog that is easy to navigate and enter values, using a keyboard, is much faster than tabbing through a dozen of fields (or even locate if you are using mouse/pen), which Transform Effect dialog has.
3. Learning and diversity aspects. Some users prefer using tools to learn the basic transformations, and some users prefer using separate operations instead of using bounding box’s markers. You are not forced to use these tools at all, you can remove them from the toolbox if you want (you don’t use Flare tool probably? some do)I understand you frustration though.
Changes are important. But you should always remember this situation — https://xkcd.com/1172/ :)
I like the idea of having a Transform-Each-like dialog that applies a range of transformation to a selection (rather than all items in selection, like Transform Each does). And I vote for idea of having sticky pivot controls. These are all valid points.An error occurred while saving the comment Hitting Enter should give a dialog or an options in the current paradigm. Free Transform has none, and it could have a merged version that allows to set a relative position of the pivot and allow to tweak transformation values... scale, rotate... also shear, distort, perspective! So instead of simplifying we get a more complex dialog instead. I'd still prefer one, but also keep separate tools: Scale, Rotate, Shear. Having simple dialogs is better than having only one complex, because the speed and muscle memory matter.

An error occurred while saving the comment Nidhal, while you can’t change the position of the pivot, using a Selection tool, with the Bounding Box controls, you can reposition one using Free Transform tool (E key by default)...
Still it's quite rudimentary! It does not snap to anything (with Smart Guides or Grid, whatever), it can’t be fixed (obviously).
So I vote for making it better.
An error occurred while saving the comment Ken, I have a solution for your problem with setting reference point with keyboard. It uses Autohotkey and works on Windows.

An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry for the late answer.
There are two possible solutions.1. Select the whole group ('Just Riding Around'), open Pathfinder panel and hit Outline button. This will eliminate duplicates (in this and similar cases), but also will remove the stroke. You can easily return it back hitting the '<' key (comma), which applies the last used color.
2. Another solution would be to use Remove Duplicates script by Wolfgang Reszel: http://illustrator.hilfdirselbst.ch/dokuwiki/en/skripte/javascript/wr-removeduplicates
However, it'd require to completely ungroup and uncompound your artwork before running. 58 duplicates! More than those 4 you circled!OK, three.
3. In your case, just select the group and hit Unite.
For operations like these using Pathfinder is way better than Shape Builder. Why the Shape Builder makes these empty paths in the first place, and does not have an option to kill them on creation automatically... -

An error occurred while saving the comment This is a great video, it explains it perfectly. Indeed, it worked before, in CS at least. Can’t remember the time it changed though. But I agree it must be fixed. Thank you for raising it up.
An error occurred while saving the comment This definitely requires a video. Please record one.
...because I have version 19 along with 12, and all of them seem to behave is the same way.
I just can’t reproduce the problem! But I really want to. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Perhaps you can use a free Batch Renamer script: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Artboard.md#batchrenamer
Sure the thing you are asking for should be available from the box though

An error occurred while saving the comment On the other hand, Proof Setup offers very little.
Protanopia and Deuteranopia are just basic variations, and some are still unavailable to us.Take a look at Figma:
Protanomaly, Deuteranomaly, Tritanomaly (when 2 there are 2 good cones, but 1 is not); Tritanopia (for no-blue dichromats); Achromatomaly and Achromatopsia (1 good cone only).This repository covers is better than Adobe: https://github.com/skratchdot/color-blind
Also, what about an ability to apply proof colors to the design, to 'bake' them? When proposing a design to client, decision to use this or that color scheme are also made with color anomalies in mind, and these CUD-designs should be presented somehow. Acrobat Reader can’t soft-proof, and decision makers often don’t have access to Acrobat Pro, and some do not even know how to set it up.

An error occurred while saving the comment Constantine, View > Proof Setup has what you want, except for the tritanopia and monochromatic (which is not as simple, actually, because there are several ways of sucking the color out). Voted for these.

What about other workspaces? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Nate, I totally agree with you about everything you say here.
The thing is — I am a mere user with the badge. I help to gather and parse feedback for the team. I've been offering these and other plugins, various scripts (free and paid), numerous workarounds as solutions long before I got this badge. I do this only in comments, and never assume them as an official response.
Being an administrator of official Adobe’s third-party feedback service does not make me a part of the Illustrator team :) I don’t sign as a member of one.
So I offer these only as viable enough workarounds for those who don’t want to wait another 15 years.
An error occurred while saving the comment Jürgen, no screenshot got attached.
Are you sure you have an area type text, not point type text?
Point type will keep its point when text alignment is changed, that’s why it is 'point type'.
But if you want to still have this behaviour for point type text too, you might want to try AstuteGraphics VectorFirstAid plugin (will work with single string only, but offers way to break and join strings of text), or scripts, like this one: https://sttk3.com/blog/tips/illustrator/change-justification.htmlAn error occurred while saving the comment ...and make it an option, because sometimes I need exactly what it does now..
Meanwhile you can use VectorFirstAid from AstuteGraphics, which has these commands.An error occurred while saving the comment You mean point text? If yes, than leave current behavior as it is, because now it stays snapped to grid when you change alignment, and as a snapper, I want it to stay that way. When I need text to stay, but it's point to move, I use script to do it, but I personally need it quite rare.
What I think can be done without messing with default settings everyone is familiar with through years, is to add Shift+click on alignment options in Paragraph palette to change alignment with point moving and text staying, as you probably want.
I'll make a separate request for this.An error occurred while saving the comment No. Don't do this as William says — it would be the same mistake as recent 'Zoom to selection' failure was. Don't REPLACE features, IMPROVE them.
I use changing of paragraph alignment like it is now, for moving, daily.
Building proposed feature into AI — is a good idea, but DON'T replace current behaviour. Make it work with Ctrl+clicking of a button, for example.
P.S. Use 'Align Text.jsx' until it is implemented -

Ah, now I see.
Yep, Illustrator can’t do that form the box.
There is, however a plugin (a paid one), Extend Path from AstuteGraphics, that allow to extend a path (in different modes) until it meets another one.
This path, however, won't get glued magically in a single shape, you’d have to group them both or make a compound path...
So there is also a request about making Ai to actually glue objects. It's harder than it seems (like what will happen if you change the curve another path is glued to? how should Ai calculate a new glue point and how should it deform the path that is glued?)
Vote for it here:
