Changed exported artboard size in Designer when applying it on a copied artboard


Recommended Posts

After creation of an artboard I use CTRL+SHIFT and a mouse move to duplicate this artboard (see attached file: Copy of Artboard 1 named as Artboard 2 on the right). Size in example is 13 x 13 px. When exporting it the dialog shows 14 x 13 px instead. The saved file also has this new size, see second screenshot. A change of DPI has no effect to this issue. Since especially for icons an exact square is often required for upload, e.g. on Twitch, such files are not accepted. This causes a huge effort, extra time and external applications to crop the files. I use the newest Designer version 1.8.5.703 but as far as I know this issue exists from the start of Designer's PC version. Please be so kind and fix this. Thank you.

Your Artboard2 has a non-integer X position, as you can see in the Transform panel. That will result in an export requiring an extra pixel to account for the non-integer position. You can avoid that when you duplicate an Artboard by having appropriate Snapping options set (Force Pixel Alignment on, Move by Whole Pixels off) and by avoiding holding the Alt key when you move them.

At this point, if you simply replace with "17,1" X coordinate with 17 you should resolve the problem.
