With the update to 29.6.1. the rearrange function is not working anymore. First this new and unnecessary positioning thing (why?) and then my artboards are not moving to the same order of the artboards panel like it used to. This messes with my workflow BIG TIME :((

Is there something I'm missing? Some preference setting I'm not aware of?

The new Rerange function is weird. With the new arrangement, the drawing areas cannot be placed correctly on the pixel grid. This used to work completely automatically and by manual positioning.

Why rework a functioning function and then destroy it? Boredom Adobe?

The AI generation hints are also annoying. If you could deactivate it would be great

Thanks Egor, yes please merge it. I don't know why I didn't find it during my search for "rearrange artboards".

Mark, this is a recent addition, based on this request, 'Rearrange only Selected artboards' — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32653399
However, the fact that users are now forced to position the layout each time (instead of only when necessary), and the lack of respect to snapping, made this entry happen, 'Allow legacy behavior for "Rearrange Artboards"' — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50053986
I think your report can be safely merged into that one. Would you agree?

MacOS v15.5, Adobe Illustrator v29.6.1.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a document with several artboards
2. Choose the normal select tool (step probably no necessary, but emphasises the issue)
3. Choose Rearrange Artboards from the Artboards panel flyout menu
4. Set up the rearranging and click OK

Expected result:
Artboards are rearranged and app is left in the normal editing state.

Actual result:
App goes into some kind of "editing artboards" state similar to manually using the Artboard tool.

Absolutely disastrous feature. Removing automatic rearrange now forces adjusting every single artboard manually. Worst of the latest „upgrades“.

Please make the 'click to place' optional - this has really messed with my workflow, especially with storyboarding where certain common assets remain fixed and it's useful to be able to reorder artboards without moving those locked items.
I can see the benefit for manually placing selected artboards but it should be optional - with the current version it's almost impossible to get things exactly on-pixel as well. Thanks.

Unlike Version 29.5.1, with this version you cannot rearrange the artboards automatically and have them snap to the grid. Now, you get a cursor and a rectangle, and you can set the cursor wherever you like. However, it is impossible to set the artboards to snap to the grid or to the pixel again. This renders a function that I often used to rearrange the artboards on which I keep my icons unusable. I had to keep installing older versions until I found one that didn't have that problem; 29.5.1 is still OK. Please fix this in future versions. Alternatively, make the cursor snap to the grid if that option is selected. This would make it useful again.

Why do you change stuff that works? Now I need to re-arrange my artboards and cannot.

This new version that allows sub pixel alignment of rearranged artboards is ridiculous and unusable. Why on earth would you change / remove the previous feature? This new feature causes havoc with exported files for web and email.

アートボードの配置をした際に、ワークスペースの中央に配置できるように戻してほしい。

今回自分の好きな位置におけるように変更されたようですが、
すごく使いづらいです。

私にとっては複数の揃えたアートボードを自由な場所に置くよりも、真ん中に置きたい。
戻すか、「中央に配置する」チェックボックス作成など、何か考えてほしいです。
すっごい面倒だしスッキリしない。

ものすごく同意します。
せめて以前のように中央におけるようなチェックボックスがあるなど、何か機能が欲しいです。
アートボードの整列を行なって、ワークスペースの自由な場所に配置できるよりも、ワークスペースの中央にきっちり配置できる方が良いです。
今回の改訂はBADです。

This is not an upgrade. Please return allow an option to allow for pixel perfect arrangement.

Can we just have the tickbox option to place manually if someone prefer that way? This "new feature" hinders my workflow and slows me down.

This new "feature" needs to be optional for those who requested it. Currently, the default behavior is causing inconsistent total program freezing and failure (force quit is the only way to close the program), and I am unable to determine specifically what is causing it. I have tried multiple steps to ensure it always happens, but it is proving to be troublesome. At any rate, here is a screen recording of what IS happening with version. 29.6.1: https://nic.box.com/s/xkhspdorjw4a8umhepx5p63o64bm4o67

I hate this feature change. I hate it because my current project's client likes the outcome so much. "Conscientious and professional," they said about how every artboard is perfectly centered on each canvas. Of course, my client doesn't need to know how simple the effort is. Or was.

Thankfully, I can downgrade to v 29.5.1 easily enough. (And thanks for nothing Adobe for erasing or needlessly hiding my workspace.) Illustrator will now remain locked from updating until the rearrange feature returns to its former simple, elegant, and quick ability to arrange artboards automatically in the center of the canvas.

Return the rearrange feature to its former self Adobe. Or offer the option to switch. My continued subscription pays for things new and improved, not perfectly good features removed.

Please revert to the previous version or at least make this feature optional.
It's wasting my time and eating up resources. Absolutely no added value?!?

改悪すぎ。最初は何かのバグかと思った。今すぐにでも直してほしい！
This is such a terrible change. At first, I thought it was some kind of bug. I really want it fixed right away!

The auto-center feature really helped me to meticulously layout my artboards. I understand the update but completely removing the feature really messed with my workflow. My suggestion would be to add options to the Rearrange Artboards dialog box where you can either 1) manually enter X/Y coordinates, 2) automatically center to the pasteboard, or 3) manually place with the cursor.

Changing the rearrange artboard behaviour as well as burying the rearrange artboard dialog menu as well as the artboard dimensions themselves were all terrible changes. Workflow breaking. I spent an hour trying to figure out what I was missing and researching if there was ways to get the old behaviour. Waste of my time.
