Artboard tool question

When you have the artboard tool selected and click on a piece of vector art, it creates an artboard to the size of the vector. Is there a way to have it do that but automatically add set amount of space around it?

One could create an action to do it.

 

Or you can use this script, provided by Alexander Ladygin:

 

Create Artboards from Selection

Depends what you mean by "space" - you can set a bleed...

Go to File > Document setup.

Or set up the bleed when creating the document.
