: Illustrator: copying an artboard to a new document I have a document with dozens of artboards. I would like to copy a single artboard into a new document, preserving its content and dimensions.

@Tiffany317

People have probably figured it out with newer versions of Illustrator. I don't have CC but with CS6 go to 'File → New From Template' and search for your saved AI file.

The best way I've found so far is just to make a blank artboard in the new document, making sure Illustrator is focused on that artboard. Then in the document you're transferring the artboard from, select the artwork in the artboard making sure that Illustrator focuses on that artboard as well. 'Copy' (Command + C) from the original document and 'Paste in Place' (Command + Shift + V) in the new document.

You can save a single Artboard in the Illustrator Options window.
Go to File > Save As and then choose a path, and then select OK. The next window will look like this:

Just check the Save each artboard to a separate file box, and then specify the artboard number in the Range box.
NOTE: The final file will be saved with the artboard number appended to the end such as example-02.ai.

Save As...
Title the document something new
Delete all unwanted artboards and art
Save


I would not recommend saving as .eps unless you know the artwork will be flattened correctly. And saving as .ai does not provide the option to pick and choose artboards to save.
