![]() ![]() It was entirely less tedious than Illustrator's belated treatment. There was no need to put the program in a page-manipulation "mode." There was simply a separate tool for selecting pages. From the first introduction of the feature, multiple pages could be selected, aligned, distributed, and abided to grid snaps just like ordinary objects. When FreeHand gained its multi-page capability (long before Illustrator), its treatment was also much more useable. So duplicated pages proceeded from the left, not from the center, before wrapping vertically, so did not prematurely run out of space. But FreeHand's initial page was always more intelligently positioned at the lower left origin of that space, according to Cartesian 2D coordinate convention. That's why the message suggests you re-arrange the artboards.īy way of comparison, Illustrator's historic competitor, FreeHand, also consisted of a "page spreading" rather than a "page flipping" interface and had a similarly-sized limited pasteboard. CAUTION: the script does consider the dimensions of the result, or the complexity. The last artboard of the document is repeated per the options and each repeated artboard name and/or content is incremented per options set. Its inconceivable to me that the only 'Option' is to drag dozens of times with the Option key. I need to quickly (in seconds, not minutes) create 200 copies of that artboard. Set options as desired and click OK to begin. I cant be the only one with this scenario: I have one artboard with a prototype of an app, with multiple layers. So you run into the right bounds of that space in half the time you should. The interface is a single section with five options. So duplicated pages, by default, are created rightward and downward in that limited space. In the Align panel, select any of the options to align your artboards. Choose Window > Align to open the Align panel. Select one or more artboards that you want to align or distribute. This was not even changed when Illustrator very belatedly finally gained the ability to have more than one page in that limited space. Follow these steps to align and distribute artboards along the selected axis: Click the Artboard tool or press Shift + O. But Illustrator's page treatment has always had the ill-conceived interface of positioning the initial page at the center of its limited pasteboard. Shouldn't I be able to have more than this?
