@Nickens508

The SVG format is actually readable in code form, so a neat trick you could use is:


copy your object in Illustrator (Ctrl + C)
open any text editor (e.g. notepad)
paste (Ctrl + V)
save the result (you should see the SVG code) as a .txt file.
rename the file into a .svg format. This file can now be opened in Illustrator (or other vector software).

You can use the slice tool to overcome the lack of option to save each art board as a separate file.

Using this tool will will enable to Save for Web and devices where you will be able to select the setting of the svg export and after that in the save menu decide if you want to export:


all slices (even those created automatically by the software),
slices you have created manually
or just a single slice that you have selected either on the artboard or in the Save for Web and devices settings window.
