    I’d say smart guides happened after the initial 0-45-90 Shift constraints got added, and devs decided not to mix these together, so that Shift always worked as expected even with custom SG angles... After all, holding Shift is not 'Smart', it’s 'Forced'... but I get your idea.

    Presets is clear enough as well.

    Not sure if I get about the 'tool' though... accessing a section in Preferences is not a tool, and adding not a tool to a toolbar would be extra-cinfusing and wrong.
    A customizable panel with various buttons for different commands is another thing (and there was a request about it around).
    But perhaps it’s not what you meant...

    DirectPrefs panel by Astute Graphics actually does not introduce new controls, but just eases the way to customize the existing parameter, Constrain Angle, accessible in Preferences > General, the second field from above. Zero by default, it makes Shift to follow horizontal and vertical axes.
    If you set it to something like 15 — well, if you use DirectPrefs, you know how it works, axes get rotated by 15°.

    Assuming you know that — what do you suggest exactly?
    Currently these snapping angles would still be 45° away from each other, that is just increased or decreased by said 15° or other value...
    Do you want these to be completely custom? Smart Guides section, as you noticed, provides a way to define up to six angles — but these are not bound to Shift — do you mean to combines these with Constrain Angle parameters and make AI to follow set angles when Shift is held?

    Adam, actually, the existing free Rescale script by Sergey Osokin does exactly this:
    https://ais.sergosokin.ru/item/rescale/ (don’t mind the Russian language, the script is international)
    If a line is placed on top of the selection, the script uses its length to rescale the selection.
    Please comment back if it works for you.

    Mind though that scripts can’t handle opacity masks :(
    There the existing report about this, but you seem to have it upvoted already :)

    I totally get the problem.
    Even though the rectangle is a live shape, once used as clipping path, it looses the shape controls in Transform panel (and other places), and there is no way to set a Rectangle Width of the clipping group. So much for the integration...
    I use a workaround and rotate the image first, using Smart Guides (or a plugin lately). Then the task collapses into the previous one. Rotating image back is doable with many ways.

    Agree, this is time consuming.
    A dedicated scaling tool seems to be a better solution indeed.

    Adam, actually there is a method just like what you describe.
    The only difference is that it has to be a rectangle (the height doesn’t matter, it just has to be a non-zero width or height).

    You create a rectangle over your image, on top of the section you know the size of.
    You select both the image and the rectangle.
    You clip the image into it, by Ctrl+7 (or Object > Clipping Mask > Make).
    You enter the new width you need for this (or height), and press Ctrl+Enter to temporarily constrain width and height (or not, if you have this lock enabled already).
    You unclip it and delete the rectangle.
    Now you image has the right dimensions for this section you had visible in the clipping rectangle.

    That is draw a rectangle around your truck, clip, scale proportionally to 250 inches wide, unclip — no it is 250 inches wide :)
    Simple as that.
    Does it cover your request? If not — why? Please comment back.

    Meanwhile there is the Orient Transform tool from the AstuteGraphics commercial plugins pack that can do it.

    Ah, I see what you mean now, you are referring to the Beta feature for picking gradients specifically from images (so I fixed the title to make it clear).

    True, the team decided to pull it off.
    I don’t know the reason for it yet, but my guess is that is was not telegraphed and integrated clearly enough and never allowed a way to control the behavior.
    Another guess would be that it’s not that powerful as the recent toolset form Astute Graphics, and they decided to not undermine a third party: https://astutegraphics.com/learn/update/new-color-picker-suite

    If any news happen, I will update.
    Meanwhile, if you like the feature, upvote this request the team made to evaluate the interest:

    Amir, can’t verify that :( Trying in both Beta and GA release (since you posted this in the Beta branch — did you mean that?)
    Please share a screenshot of your Eyedropper settings still (just in case).
    What about a previous release? Can you try to install it instead of the latest one and compare the behavior?

    Clayton, yes!
    Funny thing is Ai can do that, but doesn’t expose the controls to do it.
    But luckily we have plugins, and AG Layer Comps does exactly the thing, offering to remember top layers’ visibility states, the zoom level (the one you need), as well as view coordinates. Works flawlessly.

    But sure Ai should do this from the box, so I upvote this.

    Yep, views in Ai work like this and don’t allow to choose which aspect we can include or exclude...
    There is a related entry about views:
    Add option when creating New View to opt out from changing zoom level
    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35161204

    As I say in the comments, for now we can workaround this with AG Layer Comps plugin — it doesn’t care about lock states, but cares about other aspects.

    Some proofs it doesn’t work.

    Take a look, please.
    The language is Russian (the font is PT Sans Normal, https://fonts.google.com/specimen/PT+Sans).
    A third line has two Cyrillic 'оо' together at the end of the line. It’s a 'composite' word and has to be hyphenated between these two letters.
    However, Ai tries to put a hyphen after both of them. To guide Ai and avoid inserting a real hyphen and a soft break (in case the layout changes later), I inserted a discretionary hyphen in-bwetween.
    Hyphenation gets only applied with every-line composers, so I can’t tell if it’s a ELC problem or not (and I need it to be ELC it seems, although SLC should respect the discr hyphen as well, no?)
    Well, the hyphen still gets inserted after both 'оо', no between them, where I placed the discr hyphen...
    If I reproduce the exact same object in InD — it works as expected — images attached.

    Delano, do you refer to the new Smooth slider we can call from Object > Path > Smooth, or by grabbing the Smooth tool (which can also be called with Opt/Alt when using Pencil tool, if the option to do so is enabled in its options)?

    One can use Smooth tool as previously, by brushing over the path locally — this bit never changed, as far as I know...
    The slider is still rather new, and it never existed before... So which one do you refer to, the slider (which is more a function) or the tool (which works the same, at least for me)?
    Can you please record this over-smoothing on video?
