Artboard list drops off when saving
With multiple artboards setup. "Save a copy" to EPS and select "Use Artboards" Select "all".
EPS's export fine, artboards still in there, but artboard listing drops all but top artboard. If you click around a bit, they re-appear.

Artboards jumping across screen
My operating system is Catalina. 10.15.7
Illustrator CC 2021
Apple Mac 2020 27". 40GB RAMI have an issue with the whole artboard juddering across the screen when I move an element in illustrator. The juddering can last 60 seconds or more.
I am a packaging designer and use a WACOM. This only happens when the WACOM is in use, to the point I have to physically unplug it and use a mouse (not ideal) to stop it happeneing. I have spoken to WACOM who tell me they have contacted Adobe, but the issue still isn't fixed.
Can you assist?

Bug when Setting Artboard Ruler Origins
Ai v 22.0.0
macOS 10.12.6After updating from CC 2017 to CC 2018, I can now no longer assign individual Artboard Ruler Origins to each Artboard in a document
I use several nested Artboards to control different areas of the same artwork and assign the Ruler Origin of each to the same object. After the update, I can now only assign the ruler origin of one of the nested Artboards to the selected object; the Origin does not change on the others.
I have tried deleting all existing Artboards and then creating them and setting the Ruler Origin one at…

Exporting multiple artboards in Illustrator CC does not accept layer masks
I work for a big company where we create illustrator files with multiple artboards in them (kinda like a sequence) and then export them as PNG for our website.
Its a type of a users manual. We have to crop our artwork with masks, so that one artwork doesnt overlap the other. To do this, we use clipping masks. While my coworkers make the mask over the artwork, which groups all the layers together, I greate a new layer, make it a clipping mask and then drag the artwork into that clipping layer, so I can keep my layers, since…1 vote -
SVG Export ignores layer id <g> tag for some artboards and layers, but not all of them
When exporting to SVG, some tags are ignored and some are not for the same document and export event.
I tried reproducing the problem and were successful.
Also, I tried fixing the problem and were, in a sense, successful.Fixed it using the assets option on the export panel: it creates 2 layers <g> tags. One of them has the correct naming (stroke) and the other is just generic (Layer2). The compiler put stroke inside layer2. Not good for my automation process and where did layer_2 come from? I did not create it.
Another fix is to save…

Cmd-Shift-A selects all artboards
Cmd-Shift-A usually deselects all. But while the Artboard tool is selected, the same shortcut selects all… the same as pressing Cmd-A.

Exported files omit names of artboards
When I selected the page range, the exporting file didn't have the artboard name. I am using the latest version on mac m1 max with the latest system. After reinstalling the older version, the problem has gone.

Multiple Artboards X and Y axis not resetting
This is a new issue: normally the X and Y axis reset when you click on an alternate artboard but recently, it's maintain the X and Y of the first artboard. My sample is a 4"x4", 4-artboard layout, and the shape is on artboard 2, horizontal to artboard 1.
1 voteThe problem got solved by enabling artboard rulers instead of global ones via View > Rulers menu.

Multiple DXF conversions overwrite other artboards
On my iMac with OSX Mojave.
If I import 2 dxf files for conversion and leave their tabs available, the next to be imported overwrites the second tab placing the image on top of what is already there and then proceeds to open the 3rd tab with a blank Artboard.
In the attached screenshot, the overplayed image is with red lines, the original image on that tab is in black lines

Unable to retain the last active artboard on switching from another file
This is related to this issue here, though I'm unable to vote or comment on it. So I'm reposting this issue, because it's still annoying.
When I ⌘+Tilde (~), on certain documents (the setting seems to be saved to a document), it automatically Fits Artboard to Screen on the last artboard of the document. It is confusing, and annoying, and interrupts workflows where I need to move quickly between artboards. Please fix this.

Artboard 2 unnecessary
Every new document created has 2 artboards (At least when creating from the 1920x1080 HD video template) Every time I go to export a jpg or png via save for web, it slows to a crawl because of a huge unnecessary artboard. I only want to export the size artboard I created, the HD size. But I have to wait for it to catch up and then cancel, delete the useless artboard, then go back to exporting. The whole process takes several minutes and is infuriating.

Export as PNG includes all hidden artboards into dimensions of image (V24.1)
The latest release of Illustrator no longer exports just the active content of a file, but now also includes the dimensions of all the inactive (hidden) content in a file. PNG bug 2 shows the export of a single item in an artwork with many layers and items with just the visible item (in version 24.02), PNG bug shows the same export in the 24.1 version of Illustrator, which includes the outermost dimensions of all the hidden content. It is therefore no longer possible to export a single shape from a larger design with the dimensions of that shape.

Artboard selection bugs in Illustrator CC 2018
There are a number of bugs related to Illustrator CC 2018 losing artboard selection (no highlight in the artboard list in the artboard panel), and losing sync between actual artboard selection and displayed (highlighted) selection. These include:
When copying an artboard by dragging and dropping it onto the New Artboard icon in the Artboard panel, and then dragging that new artboard to a new position in the artboard list, the selection is displayed on the new artboard in its new location, but in fact, the original artboard is still selected. Double-clicking on the new artboard does NOT move selection to…

Artboard name - Export for screens bug
Latest version of CC.
If you name an artboard with a "/" in the name - when you go to export for srceens and choose artboards - it'll report an error.For example an Artboard called Sign In / Registration will produce an error when trying to save the artboard using "Export for Screens".
2 votesDeclined · AdminNitish Agarwal (Illustrator on Web/iPad Team) (Lead Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) respondedThis is working as designed.
Windows has some limitation that is cannot have “/” and several other characters in the name of a file. So we restricted them from being added from Export for Screens dialog( for consistency purpose on both Windows and Macintosh ). Though we can have them from artboards panel but when you will export the artboard (through older route) those will be replaced by a “-”.Thanks & Regards

Export for Screens not updating Artboard titles
I've been copy/pasting my artboards and renaming them to save time.
I've noticed though that Export for Screens doesn't always update the artboard name, despite the artboard name being changed.
I've seen this bug a few times now.
