Ai will move the current Artboard up or down the grid. To change an Artboard's print order, click the Arrow buttons at the bottom of the panel.Ai will make the name editable so that you can override the default name. To change an Artboard's default name double click on the row.The current (active) artboard is highlighted in blue.įrom the Artboard panel you have the following capabilities: The numbers refer to the print order, and also allow you to print individual artboards. When you create an artboard, Ai assigns a default name. The Artboard panel features a grid that represents each of the document's Artboards as a row with a number, name, and a button. Works like the other panels, so that your skills will transfer.Provides a dashboard and a central point from which you can access all the capabilities of working with Artboards.There are alternative ways of doing most Artboard operations, but the Artboards panel (Window > Artboard) has two important advantages. You can cut or copy an object from one Artboard and paste it into the same location on all the Artboards by using the Edit > Paste on All Artboards command (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + V).You can cut or copy an object from one Artboard and paste it into the same location on another Artboard by using the Edit > Paste in Place command (Ctrl + Shift + V).The View > Fit Artboard in Window command refers to the current or active Artboard.The Select menu provides an option to Select All items on the Active Artboard (Alt + Ctrl + a).You can store objects on the Pasteboard, but you can only print or export objects that are on an Artboard.In the Align panel, you can choose to align or distribute objects, not only relative to the selection, or to a key object, but also with respect to the Artboard.However, when you are viewing the current Artboard, by default, you are seeing the Artboard Ruler, but you can switch to the Global Ruler by executing the View > Rulers > Change to Global Rulers command. In Artboard Editing mode, you are always seeing the Global Ruler. There is also a Global Ruler, which gives the position of all Artboards relative to a ruler origin point that you set for the entire document when in Artboard Editing mode. By default, each Artboard has its own Artboard Ruler and Ai positions the Artboard Ruler's origin (0, 0) at its top left corner. In the Transform panel, the X and Y measurements are relative to the Artboard Rulers.In routine work, the significance of Artboards is that: Then you can execute the View > Fit Artboard in Window (Ctrl + 0) command to make the current Artboard a workable size.
To work with a single Artboard, you must first make it the current Artboard or the active Artboard by clicking it in the all-artboards view or by selecting its row in the Artboards panel. For example, you can move and resize them with the Artboard cursor, the Smart Guides feature works on Artboards, and you can align them with the tools in the Align Panel. In Artboard Editing Mode Ai exposes the Artboards' visual properties, and you can work with them in much the same way as you work with other Illustrator objects. to move, or resize them, you must first enter Artboard Editing Mode, which you do by clicking the Artboard tool in the Tool panel. You can create up to 1000 artboards in a document. So, for purposes of viewing and arranging the art, a single Artboard is analogous to a canvas, and the collection of artboards on the document's pasteboard is analogous to a wall in an art gallery. Ai will then display all the Artboards shrunk to fit and arranged on the background of the document window (which is called the Pasteboard). You can see all the document’s Artboards in the current document by executing the View > Fit All in Window ( Alt + Ctrl + 0) command. Fit All in Window View of a document with 5 artboards, showing Artboard 2 selected with its Local Ruler at the 0 Point So, for purposes of printing, a single Artboard is analogous to a page, and the collection of artboards is analogous to a multi-page document.
The numbers in the Artboard panel specify the order in which the artboards will print, and they allow you to print individual Artboards by referring to the number. So, it makes sense that the two panels are docked together by default. Thus, for working with Artboards, the Artboards panel is analogous to, but alternative to, the Layers panel. Rather, Artboards provide an independent way to group objects functionally, and they are represented independently, in their own Artboard panel.
Artboards are not structural containers (like layers, or groups) and are not represented in the layers panel. An Artboard is a facility for grouping some (or all) of a document’s objects visually into a composition, (i.e., a collection that is used for printing, exporting, or presenting artwork).
