Resizing artboards
You can edit or delete artboards at any time by using the Artboard tool, menu commands, or
the Artboards panel. Next, you will reposition and change the sizes of several of the
artboards using multiple methods.
1.
Select the Artboard tool ( ) in the Tools panel, and click Artboard 4 in the Document
window (the last one you made), to make sure it's selected.
Next, you will resize an artboard by entering values in the Control panel.
2.
Select the upper-left point in the reference point locator ( ) in the Control panel.
This allows you to resize an artboard from the upper-left corner of the artboard. By
default, artboards are resized from their center.
Note
If you don't see the Width (W) and Height (H) fields in the Control panel,
click the Artboard Options button ( ) in the Control panel and enter the
values in the dialog box that appears.
3.
With the artboard named “04 - Artboard 4” selected in the Document window, in the
Control panel, change the width to
9.5 in
and press Enter or Return. Make sure that the
height is
4 in
.
You can see the Constrain Width and Height Proportions icon ( ) in the Control panel,
between the Width and Height fields. This icon, if selected ( ), allows both fields to
change in proportion to each other.
Another way to resize an artboard is to do so manually, using the Artboard tool, which is
what you'll do next.
