m.vlad Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 When you want to export an artboard and its position is at, let's say 1542.2 px, that counts as a whole pixel. This is annoying when you want to have a series of designs that are a set size (for example 1000x1000) but because you have the artboards slightly off-grid they're exported as 1001x1000 or something similar.

That sets it for everything though, and that's inconvenient when working with vectors and trying to place points on top of one another after scaling or anything like that.

The thing is I do most artboards by duplicating a previous artboard (alt+drag) so I'm not using the Create Artboard button.

Guillermo Espertino Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This is very annoying. You have to make sure that every single artboard you duplicated via alt+drag has integer coordinates, otherwise you'll get wrong dimensions or undesired edge antialiasing on export. I think that when the document units are pixels, artboards should ALWAYS move in integer increments. It makes no sense to have artboards that are not aligned to the pixel grid.

So, from v.1.9 there will be no more of this incredibly annoying and time consuming issue? I mean, I have the artboard and shape precisely on the grid, yet the edges are not sharp. Is this fixed in 1.9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this fixed in 1.9? Install it and see for yourself. Or post the file, and one of us can look. However, have you adjusted your Preferences, User Interface, and increased the number of decimal points displayed for "pt" measurements? If you haven't increased it to, say, 3 or more from the default of 0 you can't really be sure of the alignment you currently have.

ashf Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Creating an artboard by dragging haven't made the artboard aligned to pixel grid even if the doc unit is pixel before. In 1.9.2, artboards created by dragging is aligned to pixel grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
