The search by name text box in the open dialogue seems to have dissappeared.  It is difficult to find artwork without it, especially when there are a lot of documents stored in the adobe cloud to choose from.Search by name does show when  opening Illustrator at first (when no other documents are open) it does not show when you choose open  from the menu.The work around is to close all open documents and use the default dialogue - very terrible for workflow, or to use creative cloud which does a poor job of searching (searches all documents, not just Illustrator.

Dear Adobe,As the tool description you wrote says, please make the Direct Selection Tool select ONLY anchor points and segmants and NOT the entire shape/object.The reason one uses this tool is to make such adjustements. I accidentally select and move the entire shape multiple times when editing anchor points, before finally being able to move the point I want. One simple change > Massive workflow speed improvement and less frustration.WIn-Win!

Beta version of AI. Windows. I Enjoy the turn table It still has trouble with very complicated images but even then it sometimes work well. I think that being able to export the turn table view into a animation in Animate would be very useful or give Illustrator a timeline to animate as its Drawing tools are better then Animate. 

Can we have an option to apply different end caps to stroked paths? i.e., rounded one end and projecting the other. Thanks.

I was just wondering when the Animated Zoom functionality is going to return to the Microsoft Surface Pro? It worked great in Version 28, but in these newer updates it's not available anymore, saying there's no compatible GPU. Will it be coming back soon? 

Please allow us to turn off the thicker artboard border. It's distracting and unneccesary when working on single page documents. Thanks.

Dear Adobe Team,I am reaching out to emphasize a critical requirement for countless designers and print professionals worldwide: native support for CorelDRAW (.cdr) files in Adobe Illustrator.Every day, professionals like myself receive and work with .cdr files from clients, agencies, and print houses. The lack of compatibility in Illustrator forces us to rely on converters or purchase additional software, which is inefficient, costly, and disruptive to workflows.Adobe Illustrator is the industry leader, and adding .cdr support would:-- Eliminate the need for external tools and reduce workflow friction.- Attract a significant user base currently dependent on CorelDRAW.- Strengthen Illustrator’s dominance as the universal vector design tool.The demand for this feature is not limited to a few individuals — it is a widespread, ongoing industry pain point. By prioritizing .cdr compatibility, Adobe would be addressing a long-standing gap and providing immense value to its loyal user communi

It would be great to have a bar at the bottom of the color history (colors you have been using) similar to other apps, it is extremely useful as you dont have to go back and create separate square or swatches within the document.

Calcuation in the rotation does stop at 0° or 360° degrees. Like this:330° + 90° = 420° and does result in 360° which equals to 0° in illustrator.What I want is the following 330° + 90° = 420° which should result in 420° - 360° = 60° or90° - 120° = -50° which should result in 360° - 50° = 310°

Seria muy interesante si en las variables se pudiera agregar el color de un objeto en especifico, por ejemplo tengo 50 variables y que cada uno tenga un color diferente de un vector seleccionado segun un codigo HEX en dicho objeto, además si las variables puedan nombrarse desde una tabla EXCEL facilitaria mucho la produccion en masa de pagkaging por ejemplo.Las variables son una gran herramienta con mucho potencial lastima que aún no tiene algunas opciones como de poder variar el color y otras cosas mas lo cual lo haría muy poderozo. Actualmente para hacer eso uso vinculos externos con su color asignado, pero creo que si fuese algo directo desde las variables ahorraria mucho tiempo a la hora de producir packaging que solo varian colores, nombres en textos e imagenes.

This is neurodivergent absolute nightmare.  And don't even start me on the unattached boxes that just float around the screen aimlessly. All the thousand times that I tick "Don't show this again", and wow, what do you know? It shows itself again when it's in favor of Adobe. 

The pencil tool has received a very good update, but I'm looking for a smoother feel, like an iPad pencil. If the pencil could be updated to be as smooth as the brush, it would be a joy to use.

Hi Adobe Team,I’d like to suggest an enhancement for the Quick Pen Tool. I find this tool to be very powerful as it currently stands, but I believe it could be even more effective with one additional feature.It would be incredibly useful to have live dimensions displayed while dragging a path, line, or radius. This would allow users to see the exact size as they draw geometric shapes. Additionally, it would be great if we could input specific distance values based on the user-defined units (e.g., millimeters) while drawing. For instance, when dragging a line or arc, being able to type in the desired length would offer much more precision than relying solely on manual dragging.I hope this feature can be considered for a future release of Adobe Illustrator.Thank you!Paramita Studio

I would love to see a feature in Adobe Illustrator that allows users to quickly check the spacing between objects, text, and other elements, ideally with a single click or shortcut. This would help ensure consistent alignment and spacing without the need to manually measure or adjust each item.This feature would be especially valuable when creating logos and icons, where precision and detail are crucial. Being able to instantly and seamlessly verify spacing would significantly improve workflow and design accuracy.

When doing data merge with excel for a certain design, i wish the process is smoother and more straighforward, also i wish there is a built in feature to export a big number of designs with different names using a certain excel sheet

I'm using Illustrator version 29.5.1 on Windows 11.  On my previous computer (Mac), I used to be able to rotate, scale or move a pattern inside a shape using ~ + drag (key left of 1 on QWERTY). After some research, if I understand correctly, that shortcut doesn't work and/or exist for the windows version of the software. It's a very useful and efficient shortcut that should work on both platforms and I would love for it to be added to the next update.  Adobe, please consider this. I'm sure many other users have had the same issue without resolve and are left frustrated without any explanation as to why it isn't the same on both platforms.  Thank you

Sorry to miss the prerelease webinar, I am really interested in Artboards. I use them constanly in my work as I create different layouts of the same artwork within one project.   I would like to see these three artboard settings available on Adobe Illustrator Desktop:   1. Add plus icons on each side of an artboard, only when selecting the Artboard Tool. That way we can make a new artboard on any side of our current artboard. A. When the new artboard is created, make it the same size as the current artboard, automatically. B. When adding an artboard on Illustrator on the iPad, you can choose the size you want the new artboard to be. That's awesome! 2. Name of the artboard and the size of the artboard above the top left corner so we can recognize the artboard at a glance. The name is visible on Illustrator on the iPad. I like that!  3. Comparable sizing in artboard measurements. Some artboards sizes are pixels and others are in inches, but the pixel boards look huge compa
