    CS5: Export "Use Artboards"-problems

    nina1234567 Community Member

      Hi everybody!

       

      I have recently installed Illustrator CS5. I had CS4 before, so I know how to handle Artboards.

       

      What bothers me on the one hand (already in CS4) is that if I have only ONE Artboard, and I export it (the "Use Artboard" checked), AI automatically adds a "01" on the name of my file (i.e.: example-01.tif)! And when I want to overwrite it the next time, I cannot simply click on the file(-name), because then I get a new file (i.e. named example-01-01.tif). That is absolutely annoying and bad for my workflow! I often have to check my file by exporting it first and then seeing if it's ok (for further use in an other program).

       

      The other now occuring problem in CS5 is, that AI does NOT remember my last choice to check the "Use Artboards"-checkbox, like it had before in CS4! So I now have to check it everytime I export my file again and again!

       

      Has anybody maybe a kind of script or some other good idea to solve my two problems?

       

      That would be great!!!

       

      Thanks for listening,

      yours
