Hi everyone, and especially you, the developers of Illustrator and other Adobe programs...:

I work a lot in both 3ds Max and Illustrator, and I often find myself working with hundreds of thousand polygons. The selection tools are so cool in 3ds Max, and give me every option of selecting faces on a complex model... For instance - just naming SOME options available in 3ds Max:

Rectangular selection*
Circular selection
Fence selection (selection in perfect straight lines)
Lasso Selection*
Paint selection (like a brush - everything within the stroke gets selected)
Soft selection (Selection method using a tolerance setting, see reference picture: <http://fanous.persiangig.com/egg/egg03.gif> )

Video examples of some different ways to select in 3ds Max: <http://www.digitaltutors.com/store/video.php?detectqt=false&vid=1694>

* Illustrator present

Another thing I think is missing in Illustrator is the ability to "make selection from guides" - because, you already have the ability to make costume guides, but you can't make a selection out of them.

There are soooo many tips and tricks you developers of Adobe products could "borrow" from 3ds Max... Fx. Using the clike of the scroll wheel on the mouse as "Hand tool" instead of the "Space command" on the keyboard. In Indesign it is especially a pain in the ass, when you are in the middle of writing text, and just need to have a look further down on the page, then you get a double space in the text when clicking space. - Imagine how easy it would be with a click on the scroll button on the mouse instead?!

Cheers!
