Artboard 1.png 140 KB
82 votesWe finally got the control over the active artboard border color.
In Beta 30.1.0.89, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, in the new Artboard Display section, we now can choose the color and the border width in pixels — black, 1 px by default, as usual. We can set it 4 px maximum
The border tries to get aligned by center, but stays pixel-perfect, so choosing 3 is safe. Color choices are the same as we get with layers’ colors, with a custom option as well.
There’s no way to tweak inactive artboards’ borders. Please comment if this solution is working for you and if there’s anything you need to have it perfect.

An error occurred while saving the comment This should be re-addrressed, I agree. Slight darkening of the artboard's edge is not enough to notice.

An error occurred while saving the comment To workaround these afterward, when a dozen of artboards are already created, and we have to move them to squeeze in several more, a script can be used: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Artboard.md#moveartboards
An error occurred while saving the comment I'm against changing the default position. It would be stepping on the same rake over and over again, as Adobe does now.
But yes, I'll vote for an option for changing it default position manually, in settings.
Don't replace, but add option.

An error occurred while saving the comment Also, double-click is used for entering the Isolation mode. It can be disabled, though, but nothing else is hard-wired to the method.
An error occurred while saving the comment What is the 'whole process' you are referring to?
Shift+O picks the Artboard tool, and you are in the resizing/moving mode already. It’s one hotkey away.
Please elaborate on this.

An error occurred while saving the comment There are some workarounds to this.
We can have 'short' guides, limited with the current artboard — switch to Artboard tool and then drag a guide from a ruler.As for the rulers — alas, to see a local ruler, we can no only switch rulers with 'Change to Artboard Rulers' in the context menu for the zero point of rulers (or in View > Rulers menu).
Copying guides is a different beast as well. Unlike InDesign, where guides are 'angles', guides in Illustrator are just objects with a special label, and can be treated like objects (and this allows to make any object into a guide, something InDesign fails at). So it can be worked around, but requires a lot of manual hassle.
As for the transformation controls — guides have them already. Please elaborate on this.
Unfortunately UserVoice does not allow splitting ideas easily.
Please log new ideas on one request per entry basis from now on :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Related to this request:
Control panel like that of InDesign
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45896479An error occurred while saving the comment We can choose which items we want to see in Control panel, but we can’t reorganize it. Unlike InDesign’s Control, which is tightly assembled in several rows and shows more controls, Ai’s one is less strict, it’s just a row.
And since the width of the screen is often limited, some controls get compacted or removed. I’d like to control it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Agree. This forces me to have Transform opened on its own.
And the way fields in control jump and slide is not OK.
I understand that shapes are important too, but we expect the place used for other dimensions.
There a more general request about Control, I suggest voting for it too:

An error occurred while saving the comment Even more so — Merge Swatches command does not work when added into an action! It gets displayed all right, gets recorded, but does not do anything! Vote here to make the team fix it: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/33587452-action-to-merge-swatches
And sure it just should be a direct hotkey, and not an action. I repeat — an action which has a one operation in it only — is a bad action.
We need assignable hotkeys for everything: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/31609237-assignable-keyboard-shortcuts-for-everything -

It is possible to do in Illustrator as well — not in Preferences, but in File > Document Setup dialog (Cmd/Ctrl + Alt +P) — because these settings are local for a document and not global. Same exact controls.

An error occurred while saving the comment Well, it’s fair then, now it looks like it’s more an Ai’s fault, indeed.
As for the M1 hypothesis, this one requires checking... Do you have anybody in your team NOT using M1 and still having the bug? or not?
And let’s see what the team thinks of it.
Anyway, thank you for reporting this and digging you made!An error occurred while saving the comment Have no idea, really... Something gets broken right at the edge of these two apps...
I’d definitely let RightFont know about this, since it feels more believable they can figure it out. Like what is difference between the manual and automatic installation.
I'll try to bring some attention form the font team to this.An error occurred while saving the comment I wonder if this happens if you try to install these manually first?
Jan, it’s possible now.
Do you mean to have this as a separate option we can disable?
