Export only from artboard when using Asset Export

[wcn_dave]

When using export, you can select an artboard checkbox to not include elements that bleed off the page.

However when using the asset export (i want to export lots of things to different resolutions and re-export after any updates), it doesn't crop, and I can't see a setting to do that.

This means exporting everything one at a time, which is a real pain.

I referred to this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/export-only-what-s-inside-artboard/td-p/12176...

You can add your individual assets to the Asset Export panel and use the Export for Screens option to add Artboards.

However that exports areas outside the artboard...

How is it set up?

How does your file look?

What gets exported?

Please show screenshots.

First picture shows an artboard in AI with objects that go outside the board.

I use alt + drag to export selected objects using the aset export panel so I can export many combinations of elements, in a range of formats and sizes, all in one go, and do so again when anything changes.

Here is the output of the export....  there is no clipping of the artboard area.

This is what I get when I add the objects to asset panel, but when I go to export for screens I can have both, the asset export panel assets and the clipped artboard export.

I cannot reproduce that.

Okay, so I had understood that the file menu option export for screens only exported the current view.  I see it has an assets tab, which appears to pick up what is in the asset export pane.

Not very intuitive, that you add things to export pane, then go to a menu option, and then select "assets" in order to select the thing you put in the asset pane, when click export in the pain itself does something different....

But at least I know how to do it now, thanks!

Good to hear it helped. But you are right, it would have been better if the Asset Panel also had an Artboard option.
