TimsO Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If one is working on a document and needs to create more artboards, the only sizes available in the size dropdown menu are phones. A4 and A5 for instance are not available so one needs to know the size of an A4 to manually input it. It should not be so.

walt.farrell Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Just in case it helps (and in case you're not aware): If you started with an A4 size document, and want an (or another) A4 size artboard, you can just leave it on Document. But you're right; if you want one different from your current document size that pulldown won't help without some improvement.

TimsO Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Yes. In my case, I have finished designing a business card and needed to design a letterhead in same document and was surprised I couldn't find A4 in the list.

James Mcilwraith Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I agree, this is a strange feature and very unhelpful. You would expect a list of standard paper sizes rather than an odd selection of device screens. Affitoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Scherer Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I second this feature reuest. Obviously, the size choices in the ”Artboard“ context bar should include all options from the ”Document / New“ menue, not only the ”Devices“ tab. For the time being, I create a new document with an artboard of the desired size and copy/paste it into my working document with multiple artboards.
