P: Artboards specific guides. Ability to duplicate guides between artboards

Love the artboards feature! A couple of things I'd love to have added is a zoom tool (and quick keys) which fills the screen with one artboard, rather than the whole document (which command + 0 does now). Also an option for guide layouts to be specific to each artboard, rather than just the whole document.

Definitely agree, guides are an important part of many workflows. We wanted to have more guides integration in this first release of artboards, but we also didn't want to hold the feature because we knew many would appreciate using artboards in their current implementation. Guides are a very high priority for future artboards though.

Essentially a template or easily applicable guide setup that I can add to new artboards. Also Artboard specific guides that do not extend infinitely.

Artboards issue: Need to be able to transfer guides form one artboard to another. Guides could maybe work as per Illustrator to help this.
Reasoning: Imagine designing an app with multiple screens. I set-up guides to control columns and therefore line things up. This is as important on screen 1 as on any other screen.

Hey Mike.
Good call. Works her as well.
Thanks!

Andy, I've found a workaround...

I'm using 'GuideGuide' here: Create your first Artboard and, using GuideGuide, create a set. I'm designing for Bootstrap, so I have 12 columns with a 30px gutter between each. I've saved this as a set and applied. So, I have my first artboard up and running.

I'll then create my second board, cmd+a (ctrl+a on Windows) to select the bounds of your artboard, then apply the guideguide set again. Hey presto!!

Of course, it would be lovely to have native guide functionality that's as comprehensive as GuideGuide, but maybe in the future!

Hope that helps.

Same here. Artboards are a fantastic idea but without the ability to replicate guides in artboard 1 it's not useable for me yet.
Guides as per Illustrator?

This is an absolute must, particularly if you're designing web to a responsive system, such as Bootstrap. I wondered whether using a 3rd party plugin like 'GuideGuide' might be a helpful workaround, but alas no. You can set the guides for the first board, but trying to set guides into the second board, it'll try and create the guide set across both boards together.

As soon as this becomes a reality, I'll definitely use boards. Until then, however....

Thank Joel, would be a big help!
