Set location of new artboard

Bring back the ability to click to set the location of a new artboard. With 2018, I have to find wherever a new artboard appears and move it to where I want it.

In 2017 and prior, I'd just click to make a new artboard where I wanted it.

    i've just created another thread about it.:

    Vote on it too: alt click or click to create artboard and open artboard dimensions

    Even better Alt click or when you click you get the Artboard Dimensions Dialog Box. Currently have to drag create an artboard and then go in and edit the dimensions. (Or duplicate an old artboard and then go into artboard settings)

    NEW ARTBOARD Button should create floating artboard placement like it was before update. Now New Artboard creates instantle right next to the previous artboard, which is not helpful at all. i want a flexiblity to place artboard anywhere i want.

    When i create a new artboard it automaically places it next to my previous artboard. normally you see a preview and can place it somewere of your chosing. Is there a option to disable this?
