Saving/slicing objects from a file in Designer


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been looking in the forums but I can't find what I need. I have a file which has a number of objects on it. I want to save them all as individual files (eps and png with no extra space around them). I've tried slicing in the export persona, but they have the extra space. I've exported them from the regular persona (export the selection) which works beautifully, but is extremely tedious when you have a large number of files to split. 

Any ideas? Scripts/Actions? More to slicing than I understand?

I could attach a file, but I was concerned that that would be a copyright violation.
Thanks everyone.

Slices and the Export Persona should do what you need.

Can you create a sample .afdesign file that demonstrates the problem, and attach that?

Hi Walt.

Thanks so much for your help.

For example, I would like to be able to pick all the objects on the page and save them separately without any extra space around them in the final file. As a bulk process of some sort. When I try to do it in the export persona, and draw the slice box around each object, I have to get really close - there doesn't seem to be any way I can get it to crop close to each item automatically. 

I also tried selecting and doing a 'new from selection' but Designer said that I couldn't do that with what was on my clipboard and I can't find any reference to that on the web.
