Question

Suggestion to improve the organization of Artboards

I would really like there to be an option to name a series of artboards at once instead of naming them one by one manually. It could be included in the artboard organization window, where you can choose a suffix and initial serial number to rename.

 

If this option already exists, I apologize.
Thank you!

To a certain degree you can already do it in Illustrator.

 

Assuming you have six artboards with the default artboard names. Now:

 

- Click on the Artboard tool.
- Cmd/Ctrl A to select all artboards.
- Hit the Enter key to open the Artboard Options dialog.
- In the Name field enter "Sketch for you", for example, and click OK.

 

The output in the Artboards palette will be:

 

Sketch for you-1
Sketch for you-2
Sketch for you-3
Sketch for you-4
Sketch for you-5
Sketch for you-6

There's a script for that: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Artboard.md#batchrenamer 

 

But of course it would also make a good feature request. Please do so over there: https://illustrator.uservoice.com
