Duplicate artboard name when exporting AI files

[Ruby5EB4]

Hi, I'm trying to export my artboards in an AI file. Each artboard in the file is named (for example: icon1). When I use Export > Export for Screens and choose AI as the file type, I get a weird result with this file name: icon1_icon1.ai.

In other words, it repeats the artboard name twice in the file name. Is there any way to avoid this from happening? The prefix option in the export dialogue box has been left blank, so it's not that either.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @Ruby5EB4

I tested this on my end and was able to replicate the same behavior—when exporting artboards as AI files via Export for Screens, the artboard name appears twice in the filename (e.g., icon1_icon1.ai).

I’ll check with the product team to confirm whether this is expected behavior or if there’s a way to prevent it. I’ll update you as soon as I have more details!

Best,

Thank you! As I have over 1,000 artboards, I'd really like to find a solution instead of renaming by hand.
