[Identical sized Artboards are exported with different dimensions]

Hi dorian_grey,

Your observation is correct. Both the X/Y coordinates of the artboards and their dimensions are not pixel integer values which leads to the variation you are seeing when exporting the files.

To prevent this from happening make sure you have Force Pixel Alignment in the Snapping Manager (menu View ▸ Snapping Manager...) enabled from the beginning. If you enable it now you will still have to adjust the X/Y coordinates and artboards dimensions manually if they are not integer values otherwise moving the artboards a little should align them automatically with the pixel grid.

This definitely works and resolved the issue for me. The key is to set the Force Pixel Alignment option and then ensure the artboards are integer aligned in their transforms (no decimal/fractional values) on the Designer Persona. Then, when switching to the Export Persona, the blue status bar at the top of each artboard display should indicate proper export sizes. If not, ensure the export slice boundaries have not been modified from the layer slices: in the upper left of the Designer interface, just under the Persona icons, "Slice (from Layer)" should have a button option that is greyed out "Revert to auto sized". If it is not greyed out, click this to ensure the slice size/location matches the artboard layer.
