WebP export support is added in illustrator 27.6.
There is no information yet about exporting other formats requested. Meanwhile, we can import / place HEIC/HEIF, WebP and AVIF already.

Illustrator Beta introduced a new option in Transform Each dialog to do exactly this. We can now choose between Relative (the existing) and new Absolute mode to scale objects in a selection. It allows to specify one or both width and height in the document units. The reference point is respected.
Please try this method and comment back if it does what you wanted it to do.

Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!
Dear Illustrator Community,
I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.
While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.
Our Approach
We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.
It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…

+1 for this. Please. Illustrator is an outrageously poor performer on my computer. Constant freezes. Constant crashes. All kinds of glitches. It's feeling less stable with each release.

Adobe, please address this issue or update us about what is going on with the status of this being under review for FIVE years.

Maybe there is some good news in store at Adobe Max

I agree with this as well. I use Illustrator heavily throughout my workday, and I want it to be able to leverage the hardware on my computer better.

We have done further updates to Dimension tool with recently released version - 28.3
You can create and use your custom scale for dimension, hide or show units on dimensions and dimensions are now sticky to the object - they transform as well when you transform the object.

I second the comment by @Bradley

I create graphics and signage along side of people working in CAD. Working in CAD doesn't give me the design capabilities of Illustrator. I could round trip the designs back into a layout in CAD, but it's an extra step and I find it nicer to keep everything in one (Illustrator) document and do all of my dimensioning, notating and creation of scale drawings there.

+1 for the matching CADtools functionality.

Agree with everything in the previous comment. Often in my work we are designing pieces that are laid out on top of architectural drawings, so the ability to se dimension to standard architectural scales (ex: 1/2'=1'-0") as well as any custom scale would be great.
It would also be good to be be able to make dimensions on angles as well.
The ability to have the dimensions auto update is important. There are many plugins on the market that will add dimensioning, but most of them require the dimension to be re-drawn once the object is re-sized. CadTools is the only plug-in I'm aware of which updates as objects are re-sized.

I would want the dimensioning to happen inside of Illustrator.
The ability to set scale would be extremely important. I design signs and the ability to output drawings in scale for our shops to manufacture is key for me. (I currently use the CADtools plugin by Hot Door)
I would need angled dimensions as well. The ability to measure angles as well (in degrees would also be useful)
On a side note, another very nice to have a labeling ability as well. CADtools allows you to create labels that are attached to objects. These are useful at the same point that dimensioning happens.

Both Beta and Prerelease builds now allow to choose the FN prefix when using Export for Screens dialog, to insert the document’s name in the names for exported images. Please try this and share your feedback, to ensure this feature works as expected before it gets pushed into the GA build.

As mentioned before, this got shipped into the main (GA) build, but the development is not completed. The team has been gathering all the user feedback and intends to address it.
Here are several relevant entries you can upvote.
Bug reports:
- Spots and Globals are converted into process colors when included into Swatch Info
- Swatches Info doesn’t work for the only swatch selected
- Swatch Info renders a saved tint as yet another copy of the main global color
- The default text color in Swatches Info is rich RGB black when used in a CMYK document
- Tabs in Swatch Info text are made with spaces instead of actual tabs
- Bottom margins for labels are too small for Swatch Info objects in the column view (with no card backgrounds)

Eyedropper is now available in the color picker dialogue to help you select color from your artwork.
Please download the latest version of Illustrator (V29.2 and above) to experience the changes and let us know your feedback.

This seems like a simple and obvious tool to have in Illustrator. There are tons of places where it would be useful, but just in case the developers don't understand why this should have been implemented years ago:
If I want to make a drop shadow and have it match an existing color in the document, if you open up the color too in the Drop Shadow dialog there is NO option to select a color from the document. No eyedropper.
Options are:
Have had added the color as a swatch beforehand and then pick it from there
Copy and paste the color info (hex maybe) from an eyedropper sampled color outside of the dialogue and then go back into the dialogue and paste it.Your software always feels stuck in the year 2005. This is just another example.
Additionally, Photoshop has an eyedropper as part of the Color picker. And then Color picker on XD feels the most modern as it lets you sample anything on your screen.
Anyway, please update this feature, and all of the rest of the antiquated features on this dusty piece of software.

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

Dithered gradients are now available in the latest 30.0 general build.
Toggle the option in the Gradient or Control panels.
Read more about it in this help article.
As stated there, important notes are:
- Dithered gradients follow the resolution set in Document Raster Effect Settings. In fact, this dithering is a raster-based effect, same as Gaussian Blur. It should stay live as long as you keep Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities option enabled (be mindful of this when you save your work in a PDF).
- Dither at the moment works only with gradient fills, not strokes
- Gradients added to CC Libraries don’t support Dither — PDF format know nothing about dithered gradients as a concept, it’s something only Ai does
Note also, that some clipboard managers or extension would interfere in copy/pasting these, similar to how it happens with perceptual gradients, as reported here.
Please test it and comment…

Yes. The ability to design in scale would definitely be useful. I use the Hot Door CADTools plugin to accomplish that, but there are drawbacks.
I design a lot of really large signage that is often beyond the size of the available canvas. I can’t currently design a 30’ or even 60’ sign at full scale. So a number of additional steps for the workflow have to be implemented.
I often export directly to a vendor who will directly manufacture from my files. Like a CnC router for instance. To require to vendor to re-scale my artwork before inputing into their software invites chances for errors to occur. I could design in AutoCAD or something, but i prefer Illustrator, and the files tend to work better with manufacturers.
