Art Board Bug

[My Strawberry Monkey]

Hi,

 

Just testing something out. I've created some 64x64 px art boards then head over to the export persona and create slices from the art boards. The sizes of the slices vary 64x64 65x64 65x65px.

Hi Allan,

I'm not able to reproduce this.

Can you detail the steps you've taken to create the artboards? Are the additional ones copies of the first or have you drawn them separately?

Have you have moved one or some of them making them lay outside the pixel grid?

[My Strawberry Monkey]

Yes they are copies, and I wasn't using the grid. I just created one then held down the option key and duplicated them by click and dragging then used the menus to align and  evenly space out. I Just went back in and used the grid and it works fine.

 

Thanks.

If you press the ⌥ (option/alt) key to duplicate them you are also overriding the snapping which may lead to an inaccurate placement (decimal pixel values). Press ⌘ (cmd) instead to duplicate the artboards without overriding the snapping.

Well, never knew that one. I've always used ⌥ (option/alt) + ⇧ (shift)...

To get full pixel accuracy in placement (and therefore full accuracy of the Export persona slices), I would recommend spacing the artboards by specific pixel amounts rather than distributing them automatically.

 

To do this, on the Arrange pop-up dialog, ensure the Auto Distribute option is off and then add a set pixel amount in the input box.

 

Thanks.

Ok, I have never used that. So use to ⌥ (option/alt) + ⇧ (shift) for whatever I use on Mac. Also with Miguel's comment- Press ⌘ (cmd) that only works if Force Pixel Alignment is on.

 

Thanks. Makes sense.

Couldn't this be done somehow automatically?

I'm not quite sure which procedure you are requesting should be automatic.

 

The purpose of Auto Distribute is to ensure an equal distance between all selected layers between 1 and n, with layer 1 and layer n defining the outer limits. If you added another factor, such as also distancing by full pixels, then this might result in object n being repositioned, which might be undesirable.

 

Unless I have misunderstood your question.

Oh sorry I missed that fact with the auto distribute, wasn't shure about this vocabulary. Your absolutely right!

 

Thank you very much for the clarification though!

No problem. It's always good to clarify points so we're all working in the same direction.

Thanks predick.
