Improvement needed on The Artboard management system.

Hi,

They are like other layers, can you explain what improvements you wish?

  • Adding equal space between all the artboards at a time
  • Resizing artboards at a time
  • Rearranging them at a time (specifying columns and rows)

I can't remember the others at this moment. But these are the very basic staffs. Maybe I don't know the right process 😕

This.

… and in fact, they are also like other objects.
Simply treat Artboards as such, using the tools that you would use with any other objects, like the Move tool, the Alignment tools, Transform panel, snapping, etc. etc.

there are workarounds

No, there are workflows. Vive la différence. ;)

How do I specify the columns and rows for the artboards? It's quite simple in AI.

It’s quite simple in AD if you have snapping turned on.

nope. I knew about this. How do I specify the columns and rows for the artboards?

You have asked for "columns and rows". Columns and rows are being defined in the Guides Manager.
If you mean something else, please use the correct terminology. thanks

@Alfred thanks so much. I knew about this. It's simple, but there are scopes to make it even simpler. I posted 2 screenshots above. Could you please take a look? :)

I did take a look and I see what you’re getting at, but I find it hard to envisage a scenario where the AI approach is indispensable.
