    save for web and devices: overlaping slices

    alexstk Community Member

      I use Illustrator to design UI for web and applications. In many cases, there are overlapping slices for example the icons on the toolbar: the icons are separate slices with transparent background while the toolbar is a big slice under all of them. Everytime I need to export the slices, I have to hide the background, export the icons, and then hide the icons and export the background. It may not look like a tedious task but when you have to do this cycle 50 times a day together with your product manager and marketing team to fine tune the graphic design, it's such a painful task. Unfortunately it's not always about hiding and showing only 2 layers, it can be quite complicated depending on how many elements there are on the screen.

       

      The problem only comes down to one question: how to export overlapping slices from different layers easier?
