It’s good to have it, but I really wish for this to respect Scale Strokes & Effects option. For now Scale Artwork with Artboard behaves as if it’s always enabled... I realize scaling strokes is natural for this mode, but the current way means if we need to scale an artboard, but NOT scale the strokes — we can’t do that.
It almost feels like it should be a separate option specifically for it.

It could be very useful if in addition to the ability to resize objects when resizing the artboard, objects inside the artboard rotates when changing the vertical/horizontal orientation

Agree, to avoid confusion, this should not be the default.

Ton, for me this option was enabled by default.
Here is a fresh report when a user just didn’t realize what happened and how to fix it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/939477/suggestions/48781703
I bet this is going to be a common problem.

It is not suddenly scaled, you need to activate it to do that. It is an option just like Scale Strokes and Effects, which is also not suddenly. It may be useful to have the option also in the Artboard Options.

Regarding the comments below — after using it several times, having an artboard suddenly scaled with the artwork feels bad.
We are so used it can’t do that, and the pressed button is so small...
I still occasionally discover Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard gets selected on its own, and I still miss to check it from time to time!
So yeah, an idea to reinforce both these modes somehow indeed makes sense.

Steve, why would you need to distinguish these modes more? Trying to resize one would inform you clearly enough, wouldn’t it?
As I see it, just a color of the perimeter won’t be any more informative than a pressed button in Control.

Woah... It was late when I had to reduce a page size. That new feature was automatically on. I thought I was seeing things... I thought I must be overworked and went to bed. Just read about that feature. It all makes sense now. I can see myself using this feature.

Maybe make the page perimeter a different colour to indicate a different page size option.

Thanks,
Steve

Yessssssssss, Finally came back

This can help fix the fractional pixel values that cause additional pixels during export as image.

i work with a lot of icons and this is 99% of what i need illustrator for, resizing icons + their artboards to maintain their placement within their container. manually fixing each one is time consuming and very error-prone.

Yes, this is dearly needed

Found this script for resizing artboard with content: https://github.com/zlovatt/zl_Scriptlets/blob/master/illustrator/Resize%20AI%20Artboard.jsx

It works for me, not ideal solution but works for now.

I would really need a feature to scale a whole artboard with its content, just like you can do with Frames in Figma!

Bardia, it has some problems with consistency across different selections and proportions. The team had to revoke it to reiterate on the feature. It is yet unknown when it returns. If anything pops up — I will update the thread.

Illustrator 22 has a best option for resize dartboard and artwork together and really i don't know how you remove that in newest version?

is this coming back?

This would be VERY useful!

If you have a problem with the art being forcefully resized with their scaled artboard, although no button so far is given to control it, resetting preferences helps reset the internal switch to the way it supposed to behave for now — no scaling.
This feature will return later, needs more polishing.

I recently started using version 27.0 ( aka Illustrator 2023)
Once you put layers within an artboard, they now scale with the artboard when scaling the artboard.
I think is what everyone wants... I'd like it turned off and I deselected : "Move artwork with artboard" and that doesn't work.

I can't find a way to drag create an artboard around a graphic and then scale the artboard without screwing up the graphic. Ideas?
