When drawing a new path with the Pen or Curvature tool, Illustrator automatically interacts with existing paths when the cursor gets close to their endpoints or segments, attempting to continue, join or edit them.I would like an option, preferably available both as a persistent setting and/or a temporary modifier key, that forces the Pen and Curvature tools to ignore all existing unlocked paths and create only a new independent path.Currently, the only reliable workaround is to lock the existing artwork or layer before drawing, then unlock it afterwards. This unnecessarily interrupts the workflow, especially when tracing or drawing new shapes very close to existing paths.Suggested behavior: “Ignore existing paths while drawing”. While enabled, existing paths should remain visible but completely non-interactive for the Pen and Curvature tools.

Applying dither is a nice way of getting smooth gradients in print and various exports. The problem is, it slows Illustrator down considerably, especially when working with large art board sizes. Simple toggle in export dialogues would save much hassle!

We use engravers, laser cutters, routers and waterjets to use artwork from Illustrator.  I’ve been told by production that saving this as a .dxf (kind of works), but that their is no spline that a traditional CAD program might have.  I’m wondering if there are any better conversion methods that exist or that could exist that could better convert the curves/paths of items to manufacturing equipment as listed above.  Once upon a time there was Gerber and Omega but this sort of fell apart and was never upgraded.

Have monthly payments for the retired seniors who are using the Creative Cloud apps. $70.+ is becoming too much for the retired. 

Illustrator has a tool to create charts and graphs but it is cumbersome and not easy to use. Once you create a chart/graph it’s auto generated in grayscale and recoloring is difficult, the legend/key auto-created is also difficult to style or edit. Excel is better, a product that’s not even intended for graphic design is better at basic charts/graphs than a program built to illustrate things. Microsoft should not be eating your lunch like this, but they are. 

They made sense when the symbol feature was first rolled out. I have to delete them when I open a new document. At the least, figure out some useful symbols to have as default  

I have been having to save all of my .eps files to .ai just to be able to get a quick preview of them on my desktop. otherwise, i have to open the .eps file just to see what it is. It is a huge time waster. thanks. 

It’s astonishing that something as simple as margins still hasn’t been implemented in Illustrator. I often use it for designing flyers, banners, and other print pieces if I need to work with vectors that I want to be able to edit in the same app. Having to create a rectangle the size of your document, manually resize it, center it, and then convert it to guides is such a roundabout way of doing something that InDesign does natively.

Previewing .psd and .ai files in Windows. Why does every other graphics program have this feature, while Adobe hasn't managed to implement it since the dawn of time?

At the moment, going full screen is just filling up my desktop, but doesn’t exist as its own window which is super annoying if you’re working across several adobe applications, like using photoshop, indesign, and illustrator for the same project.

Instead of naming and sorting layers yourself, have AI assist with layering your design assets/components. It would save a lot of time if it were possible and help with opening someone else’s messy unlayered file.

I would love the ability to (AI) generate short animations from text - e.g. for health promotion activities or sharing research findings - for visual communications, for people for whom English is not their first language - or perhaps people also with literacy issues. I’m an Illustrator user so that would be my first port of call, but other Adobe apps might be better placed for this.

We really should be able to choose whether the outline color of text is internal, external, or centered, like we can with any other object. We can do it in Photoshop, why not Illustrator?

Could you please consider creating a key code to turn Trim View on and off in Illustrator? On behalf of my design team, we beg you. 

With larger file names, now one must always scroll in the file name to make changes. Most screens have plenty of space for a larger 'Save as' field. So it should adjust in width automatically (responsive) or allow for a custom field width. 

Ability to share individual library contents to specific person from Library panel to email or teams so that it can download the file directly. Or I can download specific library content directly to my downloads folder.

一、我认为Ail软件中选择工具和套索工具需要改进，这个工具不应该使用接触式选中，例如在多个对象堆叠在一起的极为复杂的作品中，我要用选择工具去选其中的一部分对象时，本来可以使用框选可以很快选中对象，而当我在框选时，所有接触到的对象都被选中了，这极其不合理，最后只能点选配合键盘来加选，这种选择方式极为低效，并且，套索工具也是接触式选中的话，这个工具就没有任何意义了，试想，当我在圈选堆叠的对象时，圈选了要选择的对象，而我不想要的却被触碰到而选中，所以这个工具基本没有使用意，可以参考affinity和coreldraw中的选择工具，可以根据鼠标运动方向来决定是接触式选择还是框选。如下图所示，我用套索选绿橙两个对象，而无意选中很多不想要的对象：二、另外贵公司所有平面产品中都可以新建参考线，而为什么在Ai中不能新建参考线，而是要通过对象转化参考线？如果没有新建参考线的功能就应该考虑在新建页面让用户设置边距，没有这个功能，在画册设计中，就不能快捷解决页面边距问题，希望改进，就增加一个菜单命令的事。三、动态辅助线和捕捉对象，希望能做到像Affinity那样强大，在操作中，可以动态捕捉到各种点/线/角度的元素，移动对象还可以呈现离周边对象的距离，基本上不用怎么使用对齐功能，在操作过程中，动态辅助线就帮你解决了。
