Please share your thoughts on the following:
1. Would it make sense to have a separate desktop app, just to create charts, and bring them inside Illustrator or InDesign? It may not be on cloud.
2. Or would you rather have us work on building it within Illustrator?
Thanks

Having just produced a 200pp report with nearly 100 charts in three days, I couldn't agree more.
The charting in illustrator is just about useable for the most basic of charts, which isn't much of a boast.
There is a need for a product to make these jobs easier; one that understands excel, and CMYK.

I don't really mind what program it's in, but I'd prefer it to not be cloud-based, as charts for many annual reports etc. are 'sensitive' and shouldn't be accessible through the cloud.
It has to support CMYK, Pantone colours, Style templates (to allow for setting of fonts/type sizes, chart area, primary/secondary colours, etc), and support more types of graphs/charts than it can at the moment. It has to be able to handle incoming data more easily.
90% of the Annual Reports and accounts that we do have charts in Excel supplied, and its a very lengthy and problematic process to import the data recreate the charts in the correct font, at the correct sizes, using the correct colours.

Here's something we are looking into, might be worth you guys trying this out.
In your User/Library/Preferences folder, there's a file called "com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist".
It appears to keep a running log of every file (inc. path) that you open in Illy, Photoplop, and also any files that you open via 'Open original' in InDesign docs. It seems to go back a loooong time. It's not very big in size, but it gets added to every time you open and save a file.Get this file, and move it to the desktop. CC will write another file as soon as you open another file, but at least the file is clean.
Anyway, we also found that Illy sped up when the mac was not connected to a network. Now, this may or may not be related. Maybe this file is being added to and uploaded to Adobe mothership for some reason, (arguable breach of security).
Maybe someone from Adobe could comment on what the flip is going on here?

Same issue. I've tried turning off PDF compatibility, but it only sped it up by a second. Its taking about 20 seconds to save a 4Mb file. No point turning that off, because I need my ai files to work in other programs.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 23.0.6 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

This particular thread is not really a bug/improvement thread any more. It evolved into a kind of support group for those that have to constantly fight with Illustrator's graphing tool to get it to do basic things.
It barely works, Adobe, and you know it. It's embarrassing to have a client with you who has built a graph in Excel and watch you try and bend Illustrator's arm behind its back to get it to display the data in the same way that Excel managed to do in minutes.
It's been 3 years since anyone at Adobe has even recognised this thread. 3 Years.
