I want a larger canvas size limit too - and maybe even custom sizing. I'm working on a 4k project with a screen flow, but I'm running out of space for the screen flow.

Remove the canvas frame. Completely.
Anna is absolutely right here.

A user shouldn't have to set scale, Yogesh. If CorelDraw can figure it out, Adobe with its 7bn in revenue can figure it out. Take off the size limits, let us work at 1:1, or lose us.

Once again, hotdoors cadtools. just buy them already. That's all these people are talking about. But yeah, I'd love to work in full scale too. I'll even click a button that says "this mode is unstable, are you sure?"

Well, OUR solution (and every sign company in the world's as well) is to just use SAi Flexi Design because it has no such size limitation.

Adobe could wrangle all those thousands and thousands of business clients if they just lost the size restriction and maybe added a couple measuring tools.

What I do for Large work is I build a scaled version in of the artwork in Illustrator and then would place the scaled version into an Indesign file at full scale. And then exported the file final file output from Indesign. Hope that helps.

Working at different scales will always allow space for more mistakes, whether it be at design stage or print production. In 2018, there should not be a need to work to a scale in Illustrator. I vote yes for larger canvas sizes. It would extremely help with my work flow.

Professional designers are used to scale their projects but since Adobe software gets more casual with every update they might consider an unlimited canvas. Seriously, I don't like the idea of having a virtual scale on my project and the zoom stays the same... think about it; it just "feels" completely weird. Affinity Designer really shows off in that category.

Regarding the suggestion to have some sort of automatic scaling factor, it would have to be transparent to the user. But my work is largely measured in pixels, which is a dimensionless unit anyway, and I still run into the canvas limit. An infinite canvas would be ideal.

Working on layouts for 1080p video, I create a document 1920x1080px and duplicate the artboard once, twice, three times, but the fourth crashes the canvas limit. Rearranging the artboards into columns is just a few clicks but the new arrangement pays no attention to the grid, so I have to realign the boards. Of course I have made templates to save me the hassle, but the canvas limit still hits me often enough to be frustrating.

This is the most frustrating and unnecessary limitation of Illustrator. There's absolutely no reason why the max size is 227 inches. It's vector artwork--there should be no limit to the size. If I want to make a sign a million inches by a million inches, Illustrator shouldn't care! I work on billboards that are much larger than 227" all the time, and it's a complete pain in the neck having to make the artwork 1/2 size, then communicate to the printer why the artwork isn't correct. Just make this change already. So annoying.

I always have to work at 1/4 size for large printed projects. Also, when designing multiple artboards in 1920x1080px, there isnt room for as many artboards as I need.

Yogesh Sharma, as for the "virtual scale" idea... why? That sounds like a heck of a lot of complication for something so simple. Just have an option in Illustrator preferences that allows a person to set the canvas size like you can in InDesign.

Also, I'm not sure on the terminology. When I say "canvas", I mean the space that the artboards sit on that is currently 227" x 227".

I'm making a hanging banner that the client is requesting to be 60" x 240". I am only able to make the banner 227" long because of this canvas size limit.

This is so silly! Why is there a limit? Very annoying!

Unlimited artboard size is a must.

If anyone else is getting "Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large." when you have an obviously smaller item selected, I've noticed it's usually because there's a guide object in the selection somewhere.

Please get rid of the pasteboard limit. I get this warning way too often: "Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large." I'm dealing with vector, why is size an issue? Also, why is the pasteboard so touchy? I'm nowhere near the edge and I still get this message all the time. Sketch doesn't have limits—you should be more like them.

as designer i use bigger canvas size hope to make it solution's in new upgraded version 2018 of adobe illustrator
thanks

This is the number one complaint I hear from designers within our industry that use Coreldraw instead of AI. Please remove the size limit. Allow it to grow, as needed.

Yes, this is a really good idea... I work with vehicle wraps and lettering, for sure it will make life easier for everyone who works with this kind job... please help me to retire my Corel draw.... lol

This absolutely needs to be done, illustrator should be able to make an artboard that is 100% scale for the side of a bus art or a billboard, it is vector artwork why can photoshop make huge 300-500+ inch artwork but illustrator cannot, it is a feature that needs to be put in 20 years ago let alone today.
