Artboard - from photoshop to dreamweaver

Hi,

I already went through some tutorial regarding Artboards and i what to get some opinion regarding it best practice.

I want to use the artboards for a website mockup and i also want to be able to export the assets to DW later on, using the extract panel.

To copy and link objects across artboars i use smart objects.

e..g i create a shape for my navbar and later transform it to smart object and copy to another artboard.

In this way, when i change the smart object it changes in all teh artboards.

SO far so good...

The problem is that when I use the extract panel in DW, it does not "see" the interior of the smart object so all my element lack the right style properties

Am I doing it "right", can i make DW see the interior of the smart object?

Is there another way apart from using smart object to copy )and keep the objects linked) in Photoshop?

Have a look at Extract web info from Photoshop artboards |

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

thanks,

but this does not address the smart object issue.

the element across the artboards in the example psd file in the link, at least the ones which are relevant for the web design are NOT smart objects.

E.g. if you change the background gradient in one artboard it will not update in the other artboards, unless you change it separately for each artboard.
