This is pathetic, not your tutorial, but the fact that Illustrator does not have a simple toggle for this…

I hate the lack of continuity between programs in the Adobe Suite.

Hi,

I would like to know this…I want to save an object/design done on illustrator document and
I want to save the design to the done design size
and not the document size.
I phtoshop I can easily to this by selecting the particular object from my photoshop ducument using the marquee tool and I can save the object in the objects own size. How to do this in illustrator.

Currently my designs are saved in the document siz because I don’t know how to save the design in my design size. Am fairly new to Illustrator and I find lots of things made complicated!.

Does not work for me… I either get “your computer does not have enough memory to complete the operation”. Or… “this operation may have made complex shapes that won’t preview or print”. Illustrator raises my blood pressure.

Once you have Align to Artboard checked (in the flyout menu) you also have to press the Align to Artboard button, which is right next to the drop down arrow. I had Align to Artboard checked, but my rectangle wasn’t moving when I clicked the align buttons. Then I discovered (quite by accident) that I had to press that little button in order for it to work.

So I just wanted to share this with everyone, because it wasn’t mentioned in the tutorial above.

Kind of a stupid process for such an expensive program. They could have just made a simple crop tool. Sheesh. Way to waste time.

Should be…Crop and hit enter. done.

Just something i found- probably obvious-follows on from the tutorial- You can place the rectangle yourself onto the area you want to crop, then it is aligned as you want. You have already moved the rectangle to the front (as per tutorial above). Then you select all as above, and use the pathfinder to crop. This worked for me anyway! Main thing is the removal of the align tool! Interested to know if this works for everyone. Just worked for me as said!

Everytime I try and crop I loose my whole image. The top square is aligned and no layers are locked and I select all but when I hit crop I don’t loose the top square and I loose the design. Any suggestions please.

Good tip.

anyway way of doing this, incase you still want the elements, etc

is to make sure the cropping shape is ontop of everything, on the same layer and go to select all, then make clipping mask.
