art boards

[Designer1]

Is it possible to hide one or more art boards? How does this work? I don't just want to hide objects on the artboard, but the whole artboard so that one don't see this artboard. That would be very practical if one work with a lot of art boards.

Hi Designer1

Unfortunately it's only possible to hide the contents of the artboard currently, by unticking the artboard layer in the Layers Studio.

I'll move this thread to our Feedback section of the forums for our devs to see and consider adding this option in the future!

 

Edit - see correction below.

I think it was previously logged as a bug(?)

Workarounds include...

1. Setting the artboard to 1px by 1px in size

2. Cover the artboard with a rectangle the same colour as the background pasteboard, move the rectangle just above the artboard in the Layers panel (you can lock the rectangle so it does not move). Toggle the rectangle on and off to hide/reveal the artboard

Thanks for your link Carl - you're correct in saying this is logged as a bug, my apologies!

I had found a previous discussion regarding this internally where the issue is logged as an improvement, however since then this issue has been cloned and converted to a bug report, which I overlooked. 

@Designer1 I've bumped the development log with your report now, hopefully this will be fixed in a future update!
