[#1]

Anyone experiencing this after the update today? Using the New Artboard button crashes every time for me. Old documents. New documents. Every. Single. Time.

Since the last update, I am facing the same problem and it is frustrating. As soon as I click on the New Artboard button, it freezes and I have to force quit the program then I either loose the project that i work on or it saves as recovered file. However, if it saves the file as recovered and if I clicked on the New Artboard button by accidently, I loose the file.

I have to use the Artboard Tool all the time and it takes too much time if I have overlapping things and have to add so many artboards...

I have exactly the same issue but this has only started this morning. I ran a Clean my Mac yesterday BUT that doesn't usually affect anything on this iMac ... ever. I must admit I haven't done anything about it YET but I'll be looking at a few things so will keep you posted... SODS law, on a crazy busy day too!

By any did you created/rearranged artboards with 0 spacing between artboards? You can try duplicating artboards.

[#7]

same issue over here still - duplicating artboards does work though.

[#8]

It was the 0 spacing causing the crash! all good now.

I've discovered this issue today. Every time I click on 'Add Artboard', Illustrator freezes. I can create a number of layouts on the 'New Document' window, but I can't add layouts once it's open without freezing. Seems to be a few bugs across the latest CC suite update.

Did you rearrange or created new document with 0 spacing between artboards?

I have a user experiencing this issue since updating to Illustrator 2018 this morning.

Mac OS 10.11. 6 on a MacBook Pro 13 Inch Retina. It happens with brand new documents after a restart.

The application doesn't crash and exit, but Illustrator CPU usage goes to 100% immediately after, with a beach ball icon until we get bored after a few minutes and Force Quit.

Duplicating an existing Artboard works OK, though.

She says she does have some Artboards with 0 spacing between them. You have asked the question more than once. Is it a recommendation to do so, or not to do so?

[#12]

I would not recommend you to have 0 spacing artboard as of now if that is possible in your workflow. This initiates the issue.

[#13]

Is there a way to set that as a permanent preference -having space between- in Illustrator so you don't have to manually do that every time?

[#14]

I am having the same issue and do have 0 spacing between artboards, but that is necessary as I am creating printable PDF's that have to be taped together (sewing patterns).  This was not an issue for me in the past.  Is there some sort of work around?

[#15]

I am having the same issue! Illustrator freezes when I try to create a new artboard. This is very frustrating and is killing my productivity.

I hope they fix this fast!
