The reason why that happens is because you place your hand off from the option button before the mouse click. It's just about the timing.

Wow I was suffering with this problem for a while and I saw your message just now. T

Hi,

 

To Duplicate your Artboard select the Artboard Tool from the Tools Palette. Next Whilst holding down the alt/option key drag in any direction to duplicate it.

What happens instead when you try?

Does the artboard copy, but not the objects on it? Or does nothing happen at all?

Can you still alt-drag to copy other objects?

What version of Illustrator are you using? What operating system?
