How do I determine which objects are completely off the artboard?

[andyf65867865]

How to find (delete) all objects, any point of which does not intersect with the artboard? In my example, this is all objects except for the light blue ones. In other words, you need to determine which objects are completely off the artboard.

In your example it would be simple, just draw a selection rectangle that includes the blue elements and use Select > Inverse and delete the selection (if  you unlocked the objects)

Bonjour,

Sélection > Tout sélectionner sur le plan de travail actif (ALT+CTRL+A)

puis inverser la sélection et supprimer.

[Ton Frederiks]

Yes, it is that simple, should have thought about that; Select > All on Active Artboard

[andyf65867865]

look at the example below

Indeed. I haven't used this command in Illustrator..... Even though this case is technically a no-go. 

[andyf65867865]

Try drawing on the example and applying `Pathfinder -> Minus Front`. Then it will be highlighted by `All on Active Artboard`. And it doesn't satisfy the condition...

Well, that's not an option, the script doesn't know the blue ones are already on the artboard anyway.

[Ton Frederiks]

That's why I removed the reference to the script.

Your request is marked with the scripting tag.

Some questions:

• What should happen with locked and/or hidden objects that are completely outside the artboard boundaries?
• What should happen with locked or unlocked guides?
• What should happen with entirely locked and/or hidden layers?
• If there is more than one artboard, do the objects inside of the inactive artboards qualify as candidates that should be deleted as well, or should they be protected?

Also, a sample Illustrator file always helps to respond to the request.

Since it's not explicitly stated in the question, it's assumed that everything is ignored. As for the example file... - if someone can handle a script, he can surely handle such a file.
