The explanation for #2 is simply that Designer doesn't treat the Guides as something that will propagate from one instance of a symbol to the other symbol instances. You either need to disable synchronization globally, or Detach each artboard from its parent symbol. Let's hope for something more organized at some point. but as you already mentioned not as convenient as it could possibly be. Thanks, I hadn't thought about it that way! Or rather, I didn't think it could work that way.Īwesome, that's at least a workaround. Note that, again, they'll all be Artboard1, so you'll probably want to rename them. Then click "Auto distribute" to untick the box, and specify "1in" or whatever horizontal spacing between the artboards you want, and click OK. With all of them selected, click the Arrange icon on the Toolbar: You can do that multiple times, then select all of them in the Layers panel. (2) For me (on Windows) Ctrl + J (Cmd + J for you) does duplicate the selected artboard. While that's still a a lot of work, it might be easier than setting each one up from scratch. (That renaming, and detaching, will be needed for each one.) Also, with the new artboard selected in the Layers panel, you'll want to go back to the Symbols panel and click Detach so that changes you make to the new artboard don't affect all the others. Note that both will be named Artboard1, so you'll want to edit the name in the Layers panel. Now you can drag that Symbol onto your document to create a new artboard identical to the first one. Then in the Symbols panel you can create a Symbol from that Artboard. (1) You could setup a new document, with the margins you want, and have Designer create your first artboard. (We're talking about several hundred artboards … ) Or maybe an option to directly place multiple artboards when creating a new document, which will be sorted in a certain order with defined distances?īecause somehow it is quite tedious and not very practical, since apparently (or only for me?) the command to duplicate and align artboards (⌘ + J) does not work.įor example, I'm trying to create a font table with single artboards for a clean export, but that's quite difficult, because the guides and margins definedĪt the beginning are not duplicated with them, so I have to redefine them over and over again - and as you may know fonts have quite a lot of glyphs! Are there any news whether the option to copy the grid and margin when clicking on Insert Artboard will be available in the next version or not?
