"Move/Copy artwork with artboard" feature not working in Illustrator CC 2018

[Porkkana]

In Illustrator CC 2018.... in document setup/edit artboards.... When the "move/copy artwork with artboard" is selected, it is working fine.... but when I click the feature off.... it still does move the artwork with the artboard.  Very annoying....!!

I'm seeing the normal expected behavior on macOS High Sierra. Have you tried resetting preferences?

[Porkkana]

Yes, did reset preferences as in so many place was said that it would solve the problems.... but did not in this case.

I work with PC and Win 7 Professional. 

I wish that I would not have updated this new version as all the odd bugs really does slow down my work.

Hi,

Can you please share the video of what you are doing after clearing your preferences. This might help us reproduce the issue as it seems to be working fine for us.

Thanks & Regards

Sorry, but I don't have time for that.

When I have time I will try to install Illustrator again.

I can turn the option on or off in the Properties panel or in the Control bar (and it works fine for me).

I do not see that in Document Setup.

[Porkkana]

What have I done so far....  reinstalled twice Illustrator 2018 without any previous settings.

And still it moves the artwork with artboard.... no matter if the feature is on of off.

Don't know anymore what check....

Porkkana​ are you trying to move artboard with keyboard increment.? If yes, you can try moving artboard using the mouse cursor.

[Porkkana]

In 2017 version it did work fine both with mouse and keyboard.... now it does not work with keyboard anymore.

And that is what I use most in my work.

We are really sorry for the inconvenience cause to you. We are working on it to get it fixed.

same issue here. Ai CC 2018,v 22.0.1, windows 10 x64. I have my Move Artwork with Artboard option set to off. But When I move my artboard using arrow keys Ai does move my art as well. Moreover, I've tried to temporary lock all my layers (as an workaround) but it didn't help. No solution for this right now...

I'm having the same issue. Illustrator CC 2018 (version 22.0.1) with Mac Sierra 10.12.6. Glad to hear you're working on it. It's too bad layer locks are not respected as that would be a good work-around while waiting for a fix.

nitishagarwal123, any update on this?

Running the latest 22.1 (march update) and still having issues with this. I have my Move Artwork with Artboard option set to off. But When I move my artboard using arrow keys Ai does move my art as well. I see that the only thing that has been fixed in 22.1 is that when you have your layer locked Ai does respect this and my artwork is not moved.

Could you please tell us whether or not the Move Artwork with Artboard option will be fixed in the near future? thanks.

Same problem here. Latest illustrator is installed on Windows.

- Bug 1: If 'Move Artboard with Artwork' is unchecked, it still moves the artwork if you use the keyboard.

- Bug 2: Also, moving the artboard with the mouse does not snap to the grid.

- Bug 3: The only work around is to position the artboard on the grid by using the scaling handles. But this doesn't work either since the scaling handles no longer accurately snap to the grid. Instead of snapping to 64 pixels, they'll snap to something like 63.67 pixels.
- Workaround: So I need to type in the dimensions for the artboard by hand and hope to god it doesn't move my artwork.

Since I export a lot of game art on a grid, this has made my workflow much worse.

For anyone who has trouble moving the artboard: It could be the file. In my case I had the typical spinning wheel on my mac, so i couldn't move the artboard in illustrator. That was solved when I created a new file.
