Artboard Tool from selection creates 1px line above the original selection

[Alin]

Hello,

I had this problem of saving multiple .jpg images with pixel persona and it always show 1px heith white line above and sometimes left or right too.

I tried all the tutorials about this in the forum and dind't work. So I tried to analyze the problem again but with pixel persona and I noticed that every time I create a new artboard the pixel persona seems to be not aligned with the created artboard.

So I created colored rectangles aligned without spacing between them and selecting a rectangle I used the Artboard Tool > Size: Selection > Insert Artboard.

This created a new artboard from the selection, but viewing the pixel persona the slice is aligned 1px line above the rectangle. So, in Designer Persona I had to align he rectangle again to the artboard created from the selection (selection of this same rectangle). That way the pixel persona slice works but the artboard created from the selection is not positioned correctly aligned with the selected object, creating the problem of 1px heith white line above and sometimes left or right too.

Is there a way to resolve this easily? Without all the procedures I mentioned here?

 

Thanks,

Alin

Can you share a sample .afdesign document after you've converted one of the Rectangles to an Artboard?

Is the zoom level set to less than or greater than 100 percent?
Are "Force pixel alignment" and " Move by whole pixel" active?

Hi,

Thank you for your fast reply.

Attached I send you an arquive with 3 rectangles with no separation between, 2 of them I used the artboard tool > insert from selection. And the last rectangle for you to test.

The "Force pixel alignment" and " Move by whole pixel" are active while creating this and exporting. But not the snapping. The zoom it should be 100% when inserting artboard? I'm not sure what it was the zoom while creating, because after creating I did zoom in to see the white line.

Thanks.

Your initial rectangles do not have integer pixel dimensions, nor do they have integer X and Y pixel coordinates. That causes the extra space you're noticing:

Make sure that in your application Settings or Preferences, User Interface section, you have the number of decimal places for Pixel units set high enough to see this. This setting controls how many decimal places are displayed before rounding occurs.

Next, you should have Move by Whole Pixels turned off for most projects.

You should have Snapping turned on, along with Force Pixel Alignment.

And if you're moving/duplicating objects, make sure you don't have the Alt (Windows) or Opt (Mac) key pressed, as that disables Snapping.

Hello, 

Testing with 6 pixels in the user interface seems to have solved the initial problem! Thank you!

Snapping I'll start by making sure I enable it before editing. I turned off "move by whole pixels", when should be used?

Please could you recomend me a setting of how should I configure for editting and illustration? I have more questions about how to configure to optmize for illustration, where is the recommend place in the forum for this?

Thank you!

In my opinion, never. But that is just for the type of work I do. I suspect there are methods that would benefit from having it on, I just haven't seen the need for it.
