You can add your own values in these boxes, and even use the ‘rulers’ method, as we did in step 5. You will notice the ‘X’ and ‘Y’ values change as you move it, which, as we learned earlier, are the artboard’s position on those axes. In the ‘edit artboard’ mode, simply click, hold, and then drag the artboard around into its desired position. Step 11 – You can also change the position in the document of your artboard. Press the enter key once you have set your values. Step 10 – Set your reference point, and change your ‘W’ and ‘H’ values accordingly. However, if you set your ‘reference point’ to ‘left center’, the artboard would decrease 280px from the right-hand side toward the center, and the left-hand side would stay in the same position. By default this is set to the center, so for example, if you decreased the width of the canvas from 1280x to 1000px, the canvas would decrease 140px from the left-hand side toward the center, and 140px from the right-hand side toward the center. Step 9 – Use the ‘reference point’ to set the focal point to which the resize will respond to on the canvas. If you uncheck this, you can change the width and height independently. Click the ‘link’ icon to keep both of these values in proportion, so that when you change one, the other will resize accordingly. Changing these values will change the size of the artboard. W and H – This is the width and height of the artboard. Changing these values won’t change the size of the artboard, but it will set the start points on the X (left to right) and Y (top to bottom) axis in accordance with the reference point (see below). X and Y – This is the position of the artboard on the X and Y axis. Step 8 – Once inside the ‘edit artboard’ mode, you will see values for ‘X’, ‘Y’, ‘W’, and ‘H’ in the top toolbar. You can repeat this process for the start and end points on both the X and Y axis. You’ll find that when you get close, the edge of the artboard will snap to the ruler. Step 6 – Now return to the artboard and click and drag the artboard edge toward your rulers. For example, below, I’ve dragged a guide out to a width of 1100px. Step 5 – Click and drag guides from the rulers onto the artboard into the position you desire to resize to. Step 4 – For a more accurate resize, go to ‘view > rulers > show rulers’. Hold ‘shift’ to keep the artboard in proportion. Simply click any of the resize points and drag to change the size of the artboard. Step 3 – When in the ‘edit artboard’ mode, a bounding box will appear around each artboard. Step 2 – In the ‘document setup’ menu, click ‘edit artboards’. Step 1 – To change the size of an artboard, either go to ‘document setup’ in the top toolbar with ‘selection tool’ selected or go to ‘file > document setup’.
