It’s dangerous to call things Smart... When they behave dumb, the name sound like an insult. Sadly, this is the case.
Please provide more specific cases, with video proofs, ask you colleagues to share and vote, to move this further. This is the way to force changes to things that are broken — be vocal and persistent. Thank you all and let’s hope we get heard.
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment well, I believe that at the threshold of the year 2022, Illustrator is not yet able to return drawings built with precision, there is always a tolerance of error that is inadmissible for a vector drawing software.
The mistake can stay there as long as you create artistic illustrations, but think of all those who build web interfaces, pixel icons, die-cut paths for packaging with illustrator !!!
To be honest, for jobs like packaging dies I was much more precise with Macromedia Freehand! He had some fantastic point or track alignments, he was never wrong. And it's funny, because it is a very old software, with so many bugs, Adobe has acquired the Freehand license but cabbage not even the cunning of taking things that worked well in freehand and transporting them by enhancing them in illustrator?
To think that it is not an illustrator who is not able to do it, but I think they make it purposely inefficient, suffice it to say that with smart graphics plug-ins you get very powerful snaps and alignments, perhaps they use a magnet or a much more powerful glue !!!
Even Affinity's competition works better on snaps!
So dear ADOBE, is there anything you are not telling us? Why do others make their and your software work better and YOU the undisputed leader of the graphics market are not able to upgrade your weapons?
These are thoughts that go through your head ... that's allPS: often even with the zoom at maximum 64000% you can't even snap precisely between your curves ... what's the point of zooming so high at 64.000% if you can't even be precise? (affinity makes it even higher 3715551169.5%))

An error occurred while saving the comment It is really amazing how "Illustrator" the leading software in vector drawing (so they say), it lacks in basic functions, therefore in precision and simplification in drawing.
All vector graphics software have better management of point snaps, path snaps etc. (freehand 8, coreldraw, inkscape, Affinity Designer), NO Illustrator NO!We should think about this!

Do you have Smart Guides turned on?
Just turn it off and Ai won’t snap handles to paths. -

Hi everyone,
We’re excited to announce that the Snap to Tangent feature is now available in BETA (starting with version 30.0).
To use it, simply create a line with the Line Tool or Pen Tool and drag it toward the curve you want it to be tangent to. Once aligned, a “Tangent” label will appear.
Along with tangential snapping, we’re also introducing Snap to Perpendicular, which makes it easy to draw lines that are perfectly perpendicular to existing straight lines.
Both Snap to Tangent and Snap to Perpendicular are enabled by default. If you prefer not to use them, you can disable them anytime in Preferences > Smart Guides > Geometric Guides.
Please try out the features and let us know what you think!
An error occurred while saving the comment You really should improve and snap and alignments. Really disappointing for a geometric vector design program. Consider that other software like Corel Draw, Affinity Design, the good old freehand this thing works much better, even free software Inkscape works better.
Beyond "align to point" you should also make align, and intercept alone the curvature of the vectors, as "hook to object" of freehand. If external plug-ins like those of the Institute or other external scripts are able to implement these functions, to the great I would say, I wonder why mom never ADOBE can not? Do not you want to do it? can not do it? where is the problem? or does not want to rage against Astute??
it is shameful for a software leader in the field as Illustrator that boasts 30 years, in my opinion NOT honored service that pity of many gaps like this and also slowdowns and a lot of machines in working. Freehand was very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very well.An error occurred while saving the comment you really should improve and snap and alignments.

An error occurred while saving the comment Improving the performance, the Zoom (never enough), the precision of the snap, snap to curves and paths, to be a vector drawing software is rather inaccurate.
Couldn't we add all the vector parts to INDESIGN and throw Illustrator? We will eliminate steps and awkward software like AI.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.1.2 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!
An error occurred while saving the comment since this function is under revision, I would like to add some things:
1. as in the photo, is it possible with a modifier key to be able to move the adjacent handle mirror-like ??
es. pulling the right handle of the circle I modify the right part of the curve, if I wanted to replicate the same movement of the left handle (creating the same mirror shape) it would not be possible, or at least with a long process ...
making the left handle move specularly to the movement of the right one I would get the mirror copy in one step ...2. often with the mouse I can't take the handle (even with the big dots) could you improve this thing?
3. Is it possible to make sure that the beizier movement handles also engage as they are attached to the guides?
to create two handles of equal size I must first put a guide and then hook the handles to the guide ... -

An error occurred while saving the comment I believe that files should be accessible by all software ...
An Ai file should be able to be integrated and modified within InDesign (at least for simple paths) ...
How to be able from a PDF (created by ID) to open it in INDESIGN modifying it as if it were a native file ...
likewise on Ai.I think Adobe should take some inspiration from Affinity what do you say?

@OliverMalms all true, also because the competition is on the wind ... Affinity for negligible cost certainly has better functions (which work better), it also has many shortcomings, but as also illustrators, if we are used to the lack of illustrator we can do it also for those of Affinity, maybe one day, soon they also implement the deficiencies ... then it will be death for Ai ...
