Trim Unused Artboard?

[FlexAce]

I have a graphic I wish to make into a transparent gif

But when I use save for web, the dimensions are the size of the artboard

Is there a way to trim the artboard to the dimensions of the graphic?

I know I can do something like that in photoshop with trim transparent pixels, but I do not know the equivalent in Illustrator

Perhaps I am just not searching with the proper terms.

Thanks

Select all, double click on the Artboard Tool, in the Artboard Options pull down menu select Fit Artboard to Selected Art.

Success!

I have not gotten to that tool in my Classroom In a Book yet.

Thanks

Mathias,

At least in older versions, you may use Crop Area/Marks.

As far as I remember, in the latest version(s) you may DoubleClick the Artboard (Tool(?)) and have the option.

I am still with 10.

Remember to make the cropping/artboard large enough to hold the outer half of strokes on paths, if any, or they will be snipped off.

Edit: Hi PrepressPro. My memory seems to be better than hopeless.
