Bruno Henrique Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I would like to create custom weeds by values (pixels, cm, mm etc...) sometimes I want to create artboards in full hd resolution and another in 4k, it would be cool to be able to create shapes by numerical values as well, and the possibility of converting rectangles into artboards, this would speed up a few clicks.

Create the shape of any convenient size, then use the Transform panel to make it the exact size you want. You can turn any shape into an Artboard already. Select the shape, then select the Artboard Tool. In the Context Toolbar, set the Size to Selection, and click Insert Artboard.

Switch to the Artboard Tool and use the Selection in the menu. You'll get the yellow rectangle as an artboard .
