Uncle Mez Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hello Everyone i'm a bit stuck in Designer and want to know how to copy/clone artboards with all their content. my case: i've designed an FB Photo profile for a client but now his entire team want the same for their profile with their photo on it, so i can create new artboards from selection or document but they start empty of previous content and i have to manually copy paste (the copy paste in place is wonderfully working in ADesign and i like it) which makes the job really fastidious and time consuming. Would be nice if we could copy/clone the previous artboard with all it's content, size etc... then just makes changes from there. Please feel free to share your method because i'm lost Quote Never be the Same Again ! ---Dell Optiplex 5090 SFFIntel Core i5-10500T @2.30GHz with 12GiB 2666MHz DDR4Intel UHD Graphics 630 for 10th Generation M.2 2280, 512 GB, PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4, Class 40 SSDWindows 11 Pro x64 22H2 + LibreOffice 7.5.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted March 27, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi Arnaud Mez If you select your artboard in the layers panel and use CMD/CTRL + J to duplicate the artboard, this will copy the artboard and all of it's contents. Do note this creates the artboard in the same location as the original and will need transforming away to it's own space in the document.

Will do that in about an hour when i come back to my desk. Would be really good if we had possibility to do the same thing directly from the insert artboard button by just checking a box or switching ON a certains function. Would be very helpful and drop down the level of stress and number of button pressing (to send commands) and help us stay focused on making the thing much better and beautiful.

reminous Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 You could also move the intire Artboard to the Assets panel and then export the Assets to the cloud. The whole team can now import the asset and use it in their projects easily... Uncle Mez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
