   @TG - I too design for the sign industry (20 years nearly) and use CADTools.

   I would honestly not change my workflow in designing if they decided to change the canvas any bigger or infinite. It's better to design in the format which is used to distribute the design ( 11x17 ). Designers need to remeber who they are designed for and make it in an easily consumable size and format for the customer and production. I've gotten a lot of push back mentioning this before, but customers appreciate being able to scroll through a PDF and all the pages are the same size and there is no need to zoom in. Also, they can print it off. The layout of a sign design proof sells just as much as the design itself.

   Designing at scale (to later be scaled up) isn't an issue for the vector art in an .ai file and for any raster aspects, all you need to do is make sure the DPI on the linked files is high enough.

   Pre-Press/Layout could use a larger canvas in the, as they take a design and prep it for production. So 1 to 1 is a nice thing for them and having that native in AI would eliminate the use of other software or relying on RIP to scale things up. Not to mention the human error in junior-level positions.

   AI really needs to add some basic CAD functions. Like scaling and measurements (like its competitors. People unwillingly use Coral because AI lacking some very basic core functions mentioned in this thread.
