    Need More Info  ·  Yogesh Sharma responded

    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
    Yogesh

    Is anyone at Adobe even bothering to look at this thread?

    It appears that Adobe are researching a radical overhaul of charting through www.data-illustrator.com.
    But there is a woeful lack of update communications. In this time of open communication, public beta testing, public road maps, etc. it seems like Adobe are playing it cool with super-secrecy.
    I think the Illustrator faithful deserve some news on this topic from Adobe.
    BTW, Microsoft are researching charting with www.charticulator.com. I really hope we get something to work with in the next Illustrator update.

    Sorry, I would add that an absolutely key feature is automatic chart updates, as the source data changes - be that some form of dynamic link to Excel, or to a data file (.csv?)

    I'm agnostic to the 2 options posed by the original poster. What's important to me is knowing that the charting tools and capabilities are being brought into the 21st century. I'd really like to be in a community loop on what to expect and when - and to try things out in beta testing. I'm trying to move from Excel, but the current option is just not compelling.

    Update charts as source data changes or is amended. In the case of Excel the link would replicate how InDesign does it, but additionally allow the import of a range that is too big - empty cells are ignored. This would allow for appended data, in the case of a time series.
