Remedy; seperate or move the new toolbar panel to allow the user to see entire panel.

When creating a new toolbar the area to add the tools is being obscured when the tool panel is open. This causes confusion in knowing if the tool added has been over written by a new tool added. Also unable to see all the tools added until you close the tool panel.

This may be a repeat of a message posted yesterday which I do not see. However, I feel it would be a significant improvement from current process.
I have been a user of PS for many years. One of the really nice features is how the Brush, Pencil, and Eraser work. Especially working in confined spaces. When selecting a point clicking they can then hold down the Shift key and draw or erase a straight line. The Ai Pen tool also has this feature as well. Not sure why this cannot be applied to other tools?

Photoshop has always had a method to remove or apply a Line in a straight line. Clicking a Start point and End point and holding down Shift you can cleanly apply or remove the line with little to know effect on surrounding areas. You can also Mask of course.
However, in Illustrator the Eraser is very awkward in using. I do not see where you can use a mask the way you can in PS.

Would be nice to have an option to constrain the Grid to the Artboard. Current format it is distracting to have the grid outside of your work area. I know this may also be done with Rectangle Grid. Should be an easy to add feature.
Just a thought.

The Pen tool has always had negative connotations associated with it. Requires a lot of practice to become proficient using the tool. What would the level of effort be to use AI to help guide the user. Imagine trying to outline an object and AI can sense the task. Then guide the user to making the path with as few anchor points as possible. This would be evolutionary.

Right we would not want a user to be able take control and have to re-learn how to navigate inside a new application. Why dont we also change the shortcut keys while we are at it? Better yet - Why not change the design of our rules of the road. This way drivers have to learn and adapt to the new area they are driving in. This will be a hoot. Wonder how this will work out. Sounds like pride and lack of communication is a barrier to success.

Image Trace results have deteriorated over the years, detail is lost and line work looks terrible!

Illustrator Beta now offers a dedicated Objects on Path construct to allow some basic distribution operations for selected objects and a chosen path. So far it allows uniform distribution only, global rotation and global pivot control, widget to control these on canvas, attaching and detaching (including isolation operations).
This is not an extension of Type on Path, but a separate type of object. The text can be used with it, but will be treated as a separate object, not per-character.
I assume some would be happy to have it and get it improved later. Pasting an object into a text, however, is still a needed thing, and is a different request — Inline Graphics / Anchor Object to text ability (like InDesign) — please upvote it if you find it useful.
As for this new object type — kindly try in Illustrator Beta and provide your feedback, so the team…

Egor;
Thanks for the update and great information. Of course if you ask 3 different users how they like the UI you will get 3 different answers. However as large as Adobe is and the fact they are the "Industry Standard" they should, have their apps share commonality. Heuristics should almost be seamless between PS, AI, ID . . . Having been a long time user of PS I am only now grasping navigation in AI.Albeit I have only been using AI for a couple months now. I understand it is a resources issue on which program gets the funding. AI is really where PS was almost 20 years ago. Yes, there are far more users in PS than AI. I believe a lot of this can be attributed to the very steep learning curve with AI.westdr1dw shared this idea ·

Adding capability to the Measuring Tool to set a specific length to line segment, while working at a scale other than 1:1. Trying to draw a line 32.25 inches to meet a DIY project can present challenges. This feature will aid in saving time and apply exact measurements to the drawing.
The Line segment tool has a feature to allow the user to set the distance. However, the Line Segment tool does not allow the user to work, based on scale of the project.
Suggest either add a scale to the Line Segment tool or add a Distance setting for the Measuring tool.
