Resize artboard

[bikeman]

I can resize artboards with the move tool when they are empty.

 

But when there's something on the artboard I can't resize it. 

 

Is this how it should be?

Hi bikeman,

You can still resize it with objects. Make sure the Artboard layer is selected (highlighted) in the Layers panel. 

If it doesn't work there's a bug somewhere.

It would seem that once objects are put on the artboard they become sub elements like the artboard is a group. The move tool can't then select the artboard.

 

Only if the artboard is selected in the layers panel can it be resized.

This is by design to avoid moving/resizing the artboard accidentally. You have to explicitly select it in the Layers panel.
