clamnuts Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hello all, Avid fan of AD but I've hit a snag today: I have a doc with 100+ artboards at 500x500px, the developer needs them output at an arbitrary size of 1250x1250px https://www.screencast.com/t/mWlAoV6gV Question: In Export Persona I can't create a new preset outputting 1250x1250px? Also I assumed I could go Export>Specify 1250x1250 and export 'All Artboards' but it's not possible. Any ideas please let me know...looks like I have to use PS batch resize, yuck! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted February 16, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi Bob! Easy enough to sort out, so don't panic! ;) Go to the Export Persona and select one of your export slices in the Slices panel. Look at your export format (where it says 'PNG' underneath that particular export slice) and change it to have a '1250w' slice. Now click back on the slice itself in the list and go to the 'burger menu' on the Slice panel (the three-lined menu icon at the top right of the panel) and choose 'Create export setup preset...' and call it something sensible. Now select all your slices and choose your newly create preset from the 'Export preset' dropdown. Hopefully that works for you? :) Thanks!

clamnuts Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Nice one Matt! Got it working. It's exporting each artboard into its own "appiconset" folder but I need them all in one main folder. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fEA5WcbKiidDdQLXlXQ2tMUzA/view?usp=sharing It appears to treat my custom preset as an iOS icon?

Staff MattP Posted February 16, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 16, 2017 Have you got the 'Builder:' set to 'None' on the slice? It definitely shouldn't be making icon sets unless told to do so... :S At worst, send the file to me and I'll fix it :) Thanks! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamnuts Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hey, I tried None on Builder. Here's a video, it's still creating icon folders. https://www.screencast.com/t/D6W3l4pKjcQ Test file here https://www.dropbox.com/s/j54p5aw5uub4j9c/export%20settings%20test.afdesign?dl=0 I could live with it but I have 150 artboards and the whole project will involve 500! Cheers Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted February 16, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 16, 2017 I have no idea why, but... Expand one of your slices and click on the bit that says 'Path:' and you can see that it's set to put each icon into a path that contains it's name and an appended '.appiconset'. If you delete the contents of the 'path' completely, then recreate your export preset and reapply it to all, you'll get the right results :) Thanks again, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a newbie at graphic design in general and spent the last year manually editing the slices 😭 MattP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
