What about changing sizes of the artboard? I'm working on a file and I need to change the width of the artboard, but every time I attempt to do so, the size reverts to the original. How do I fix this problem?

How do I get just the two artboards that I use when I create a new document? Every time I create a new file, I have to search for one of the two artboard sizes I use now. I'm sick of updates that make my life more difficult. I used to praise Illustrator, now it's just becoming a headache.

Response to that last anonymous comment - that happens to me a lot, but you’re lucky that is an easy issue to fix:

make sure you select the art board you’re copying it from before copying it. Selecting an object on a board doesn’t automatically select that board. Same thing goes to pasting it, after copying and making sure the correct board is selected, make sure the board you want to paste to is also selected.

Having problem also with pasting artwork from one artboard to another. It just pastes right back to board I am coping from. It is getting very frustrating. Sometimes it works, but mostly this is not the case. I also have the most updated version of Illustrator.

I'm trying to copy an artboard using option+drag but it's copying a bleed (that I have not set up) and resizing the new artboard to the size of the bleed??????????

Please fix this ASAP. We are already on v22.1 and same issue.

Why don't you guys KEEP the things that work instead of screwing around with the program to add bells and whistles that complicate the program? I'd still pay my CC subscription!!!! I don't need a bunch of new problem every year!!!!

Got the 22.1 version and have the exact same problem!!!!!!

New Artboards are sticking to existing artboards. When I try to manually re-arrange them, objects from the adjoining board are moved too. There is no option for placing an artboard where you want it, that I can see.

Hi!
I also still face this issue. The missing artboard selection highlight is really getting annoying. Working on 22.1

Whenever I edit an artboard, the blue box with text and "okey" appears and doesnt let me select any artboard. It doesn't close clicking on ok.

STILL A PROBLEM WITH MY 22.1 AS WELL...

My version of Illustrator is 22.1. But when I open a document it doesn't show up. It shows me in the layer window that it is "open" but I dont have any artboard or even document. It just shows me the "recent" landing page.

This bug is still present in the most recent version. Can we please reopen this thread and unmark as "Complete?"

It still isn't working for me either. I hope it is just a bug and not a new feature... it would be really nice to get these artboards to cooperate.

Still doesn't work correctly.

I went to the link that was emailed and it said sorry no longer available :-(

With the latest update, I am having a number of issues in Illustrator.
1. Cannot create new artboards as it freezes the program. E V E R Y T I M E ! !
2. Duplicate Artboard function takes the content from the artboard I'm duplicating and MOVES it to the duplicated artboard. So essentially, the artboard is duplicated but is REMOVED from the originating artboard. WHAAAT??
3. The most irritating issue is when I'm moving from artboard to artboard, the artboard list does NOT highlight which artboard I am on. I am left thoroughly confused. And I work with more than a dozen artboards at a time... :'(
4. Selecting an artboard from the list doesn't immediately take me to that artboard. Many times it doesn't work. Other times when it does work, it takes extra long. Super inconsistent!
PLEASE ADOBE... PLEASE FIX THESE ISSUES!!

So what's the work-around from moving to and from artboards? so frustrating!!

Stop releasing new features nobody wants or needs and start FIXING the underlying rubbish under the hood, the app is broken in almost all directions.
