Improving Export Accuracy After Artboard Rearrangement

Hello,

First of all, congratulations on the recent update that allows selected artboards to be rearranged and placed into a designated area—this has been a long-awaited feature, and I truly appreciate it.

However, as you may already be aware, when artboards are placed at fractional X and Y coordinates, the exported assets often end up being 1 pixel larger than the defined artboard size. This has been a recurring issue for years.

I would love to see a fix or improvement for this. Perhaps the rearrangement feature could optionally snap artboards to whole number X and Y positions like it used to, or alternatively, the export engine could respect the original artboard dimensions even when placed on fractional coordinates.

This issue makes my workflow significantly more difficult, and I’d really appreciate any improvement in this area.

Thank you!

Oops this looks worse than it was. Rearrange Artboards used to align all artboards to the pixelgrid.

Now it places them wherever you click, which introduces fractional pixel coordinates.
