Adding artboards to the document
You can add and remove artboards at any time while working in a document. You can cre-
ate artboards in different sizes, resize them with the Artboard tool ( ) or Artboards panel
( ), and position them anywhere in the Document window. All artboards are numbered
and can have a unique name assigned to them.
Next, you will add two more artboards to the document. Since this is a ticket for a sporting
event that will fold, each artboard will be a different face of the ticket (front, inside, and
back).
1.
Choose View > Fit Artboard In Window, then press Command+- (Mac OS) or
Ctrl+- (Windows) to zoom out.
2.
Press the spacebar to temporarily access the Hand tool ( ). Drag the artboard to
the left to see more of the darker canvas off the right side of the artboard.
Tip
If you find it difficult to make the width value exactly 3.5 in, you can al-
ways change the W: (width) value in the Control panel, after you finish
drawing the artboard.
3.
Select the Artboard tool ( ) in the Tools panel. Position the Artboard tool pointer
to the right of the existing artboard and in line with its top edge (a green alignment
guide appears). Drag down and to the right to create an artboard that is 3.5 in
(width) by 6 in (height). The measurement label indicates the artboard size.
