Dear Users,
We have launched this feature in the latest release of Illustrator, 24.2. I request you to try out this feature and give us your feedback.
Thanks,

This is wonderful news!

This may be a deeper issue than we realize.
PDF files seem to have a size limitation as well of around 200 x 200" as well.
Coincidence?
Even if we could design at an increased size in Illustrator, it seems that PDF files (the common RIP format) are also hamstrung in dimensional size.
Sounds like the whole process needs an overhaul.

Let's see.. 505 votes thus far. At $79.49/mon per user, that over 40k a month. $480k a year.
If Adobe doesn't want to listen to the customers which give them nearly half a million dollars a year, then that tells me Adobe doesn't give a ****. Not too many companies would ignore that much potential yearly income.

Except Flexi is horrible software at everything else. The artboard size is it's only redeeming feature. If I wanted software that looks and performs like it was written in the 1980's, I'd use Corel Draw instead. :D

Thank you for the information on Affinity Designer. I was playing around with it today. It's pretty feature rich, missing a few options what I would like..
Buuuut, that being said, it's pretty **** good. Considering we use Adobe CC mostly for Illustrator, with a bit more testing, I can see us dumping our 3 CC subscriptions and going with Designer instead especially since Adobe seems to be completely ignoring our requests.
We use it primarily for doing vehicle wrap and decal designs.

Just an FYI, I've posted a request in the official Adobe forums for someone to take a look at this, in the event that this forum has been depreciated as a place for feature requests.

Honestly, since there has been no feedback from Adobe since October 2017, I'm going to have to assume that this request has all but been ignored.

Anon,
I completely disagree with your synopsis.
There are many valid reasons for having a bigger canvas, which have nothing to do with 'pixels' since we're dealing with vectors (math) and NOT pixels. If you want to deal with pixels, use Photoshop.
In the print industry we could have very simple layouts, but need to do them 'at scale'. I could have potentially have a 1000" x 1000" AI file that is only a couple hundred kilobytes in size. Have at scale eliminates the messy nature of having to deal with scaling. This is simply an old limitation in Illustrator that has never been modernized.
We don't want scaling, we want larger art boards as the OP stated.

How is this not even implemented yet?! My designers complain about this daily. Virtual scale isn't even close to an option. Remove the artboard size limits already! They're just vectors for cripes sake. 10" and 10,000" take about the same amount of memory to say origin X and length X for a line. Or X position for the center with a radius of X for a circle. This isn't bloody Photoshop where DPI matters.

We use Photoshop to rasterize vector files due to it's superior bitmap engine.
