An error occurred while saving the comment @Stefaan, it seems related to this discussion:
Exact ARC export in DXF
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50817350Illustrator deals with Bézier curves only at the moment, and no conversion happens when these get exported.
Would you mind me merging these two requests? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Also there’s this script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1MPhqORmnc
It’s hardly a universal solution, sure, but perhaps for some users it’d be helpful. to at least know about.An error occurred while saving the comment I agree, and can only add that all the bevels Xara creates are raster-based. Once expanded (ungrouped in Xara), an object with embossing becomes a clipped bitmap. The modern 3D effect in Ai is not vector too, really, but I’d surely prefer the built shading to be vector.
An error occurred while saving the comment Xara again :) We can achieve somewhat similar results with 3D effects in Ai... but not the full range offered by that app. I can’t say need these bevels often, but I think I’d use them if I had the access to them.

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator doesn’t offer a tool like this form the box, but there is a plugin tool that does a similar thing, Inflate Deflate tool, by Astute Graphics:
https://docs.astutegraphics.com/colliderscribe/inflate-deflate-tool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhc4HaJxkfAIt’s an interactive tool, designed for artistic use.
If you need a more precise approach... a native way to do it is a combination of Scale operation followed by Transform Each operation, to compensate the scaling back. Requires some calculation.Rotation though... I’d really love to see some examples of the application you have in mind, to follow the idea.

An error occurred while saving the comment You should see if this is an Outline mode in the document’s tab... Also View > Outline / Preview command changes.
I remember it failing though with complex documents and disabling Preview. Can you tell a bit more about your configuration? How complex was your document? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep. Xara’s feathering was developed more than 20 years ago and I could never tell if this is a raster effect... It stays smooth at high zoom levels (no pixelation) and is super fast...

An error occurred while saving the comment Makes total sense, thanks! I’m merging this one into the larger request about text variables. Some solutions were mentioned in comments and there are some more newer ones (like Multi-edit text script, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcyT0KmuepI)
An error occurred while saving the comment Louise, can you tell a bit more about the workflow you have in mind, with some examples, please?
There are several related / similar existing requests and I want to make sure these align.An error occurred while saving the comment There are several external solutions for that:

An error occurred while saving the comment I have a working although a bit tedious way to number an existing set of artboards. They won’t update themselves, as one can expect from auto-numbers, but it’s simple enough to repeat, if all numbers have the same appearance.
1. Create a '1' text and place it in a position you want your numbers to occupy on the first artboard.
2. Group it and isolate the selection. Now you have your text in isolation mode and nothing else would be selected in next steps.
3. Select All and Ungroup it. Now that temporary group used to be able to isolate a text object is gone.
4. Cut the text
5. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V (Windows) or Edit > Paste on All Artboards. Now we have 1-s at every artboard.
6. Select all
7. Run the attached script (rename it from .txt to .jsx). It takes the first text object in the selection and increment the next one by 1 for the whole range.
Now you have all your artboards numbered. You can now group the objects to easily access them later.
It can be automated with an action. A workaround, but a working one!
Please comment back if it works for you.An error occurred while saving the comment I’d even say we need automatic inline variables, and one of them should be page numbers.
An error occurred while saving the comment Meanwhile you can use Batch Text Edit script or native Find and Replace.
An error occurred while saving the comment This can be done with Variables manually, somewhat easier with the Variable Importer script, but the method generally sucks.
Limitations of it are described here (and Vasily Hall, the author of the script, comments there):

This issue is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta 30.3.126 build.
Kindly update (or install) to verify the fix making it behave as expected, to allow the team to safely push it into the next general build.
If it still works wrongly — please comment back.

An error occurred while saving the comment Scripts shouldn’t affect this at all...
Can you reproduce this problem in a new document with few newly created objects?
Were you able to create Objects on Path previously? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I see now, got it.
Well, yes, if you try to move dimensions only, or the dimensions with their bound objects, they do get expanded. And while the first behavior makes sense... some of it... I personally can’t comprehend why moving it all together would make these die.
I reported this here:Dimensions get expanded when moved, with or without related objects
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47739104
Please upvote if you agree — and thank for making the report!An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator has two different tools: Measure tool and Dimension tool. Do you mean the Dimension one?
Not sure I get your request right, but today the dimensions created on canvas get attached to the points and objects, and when we scale or move the objects, attached dimensions reflow automatically. So they aren’t static.
Or do you mean a different thing altogether, an ability to edit the text in the dimension and make the object rescale, CAD-style?
Please comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment @HEY 2 DSGN, now this is super broken.
Is it a cloud file or a locally saved one? Do you have an earlier version of it?
Please check Preferences > File Handling — do you have Save in Background enabled? It causes many problem with files, and I’d recommend to disable it.
Anyway, please do share the file with the team... perhaps they can find something that would help them to investigate it. If you have an older version of this file, it’d help as well.
Please send these, along with the full specs of your OS, to sharewithai@adobe.com (and mention the link to this report, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49679312)An error occurred while saving the comment Josiah, what do you call a 'layer group'? Ai don’t have these. It has layers ('top layers' and 'sublayers', if these are put into other layers) and groups. I suppose you mean just 'group'?
I can’t really tell what do you mean just by the description, I think, sorry.
Can you please share a test file with these red and yellow objects organized and and a video showing the way the behave?The problem I can think of is that what you think of groups is in fact a sublayer... and when you select their children in Layers panel and try to group them, these go into the topmost sublayer, while the one below becomes blank (just as it happens for top layers).
Take a look a the two GIFs attached.Ai today doesn’t differ group from layer clear enough... In older versions layers would have a different row color. Today we have to rely on the default naming convention (and these can be renamed), highlight color (can be changed), and a small triangle at the top right corner of the row — visible only if the layer is focused in the Layers... there are request here at UV to do something about it.
Please try to check if this is the case and comment back.

An error occurred while saving the comment The active artboard highlight helps us to know beforehand where Ai would zoom into with the Fit Artboard in Window command, which artboard will be used when Align commands are called in Align to Artboard mode, which artboard’s coordinates will be used when we paste something from one artboard to another.
The option in question is about this highlight — so I thought!But I guess you mean the border itself, for all artboards, and the fact the View > Hide Artboards command doesn’t work in Trim View. In normal view mode it hides these borders.
A request about it exists here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39157192Is this what you mean?
An error occurred while saving the comment Del, how do you use Trim View exactly? What makes the active artboard highlight distracting for you? It’s not a decorative thing, it allow to see where aligning would happen, pasting, zooming... without the highlight, how would you tell it?
Currently you can set the color to #919191, 1 px, and there would be no difference between the active artboard and other ones.

This can be achieved with Actions panel. It allows to record certain operations and assign F-key-based shortcuts to call them later faster.
An error occurred while saving the comment No worries, glad it helped. Actions is a the second stage of automation in Ai. It won’t solve all the tasks we can have, but it’s definitely helpful.
An error occurred while saving the comment I see the reason why you want it (clicking a color in Swatches is indeed slow), but I personally feel the request is way too specific to have a native dedicated command... but we can use Actions to make it faster, almost the way you want!
1. Open Actions panel, create a new set (folder) — if needed, — then a new action. In the New Action dialog pick a Function Key you want to use (these are limited to F-keys only).
2. Make sure you have fill active (not stroke), select any word in text and click a swatch in Swatches
3. Stop recording the action
Now select an other word and press the previously chosen hotkey.
So it won’t be specifically 'the previously used color', but a predefined one. If I had many colors to apply, I’d create several actions and attach more F-keys.
Remember that actions sets can be disabled and enabled back when needed, so hotkey conflicts won’t happen.Please comment back if the method works for you (or not).
Yes, I confirm. More of it — if I hit Undo, the names do get changed back in the panel, but not on canvas.
