How to duplicate an artboard in Illustrator
If you’re working on a design project in Adobe Illustrator, you may find yourself needing to create multiple versions of the same design. Rather than starting from scratch each time, you can duplicate an existing artboard and make changes to the new one. Here’s how:
1. In your Illustrator document, select the artboard you want to duplicate.
2. Go to Edit > Duplicate.
3. A dialog box will appear. Rename the duplicated artboard if desired, then click OK.
4. The duplicated artboard will appear in your document alongside the original. You can now make changes to it as needed.
The benefits of duplicating an artboard
There are many benefits to duplicating an artboard in Illustrator. Perhaps you want to create a variation on an existing design, or you need to create multiple versions of a design for different purposes. Whatever the reason, duplicating an artboard can save you time and hassle.
When you duplicate an artboard, all of the contents of that artboard are copied as well. That means all of the layers, objects, text, and effects are copied over to the new artboard. This can be a huge time-saver if you need to make small changes to an existing design – you don’t have to start from scratch!
To duplicate an artboard in Illustrator, simply select the artboard you want to copy and choose Duplicate Artboard from the Object menu. You can also use the shortcuts Command + D (Mac) or Control + D (Windows) to quickly duplicate an artboard.
How to make sure your artboard is set up correctly
When you are starting your project in Illustrator, it is important to make sure that your artboard is set up correctly. The first thing you need to do is open up your “Artboards” panel. You can find this panel by going to Window > Artboards. If you don’t see the Artboards panel, you can also access it by going to Window > Workspace > Default.
