Hi, I wondered if anybody has a script that can copy just what is contained inside the bounds of your current artboard to the Windows clipboard? Thanks

Salut!

Si j'ai bien compris...

// JavaScript Document for Illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;
    with(doc) {
      selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();
      fitArtboardToSelectedArt( artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex() );
    }
    app.copy();

Hi, thanks so much for trying. I do not want to move the artboard to encase the art. I want to use the Artboard as a crop for what Is shown. What you wrote moves the artboard to the art. If a piece of art is outside of the artboard I want it cropped (not included) in what is copied as a jpeg.

Please explain this in more detail.

At the moment I think:

select all in active artboard
and
copy

should be sufficient enough.

Or not?
