Object Crop Area Make / Release

Hi all.
I was using Illustrator CS3.
I need to make a rectangle fitted exactly to artboard.
I was using Object > Crop Area > Make, and then Object > Crop Area > Release
Now I am on Illustrator CS6 and this options are missing.
How can I do the same on CS6?
Best Regards.

OK.
I respond to myself.
I find this javascript, that does exactly what I need.
#target Illustrator
//  script.name = fitObjectToArtboardBounds.jsx;
//  script.description = resizes selected object to fit exactly to Active Artboard Bounds;
//  script.required = select ONE object before running; CS4 & CS5 Only.
//  script.parent = carlos canto // 01/25/12;
//  script.elegant = false;
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
selec = idoc.selection;
if (selec.length==1)
                    // get document bounds
                    var docw = idoc.width;
                    var doch = idoc.height;
                    var activeAB = idoc.artboards[idoc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex()]; // get active AB
                    docLeft = activeAB.artboardRect[0];
                    docTop = activeAB.artboardRect[1];
                    // get selection bounds
                    var sel = idoc.selection[0];
                    var selVB = sel.visibleBounds;
                    var selVw = selVB[2]-selVB[0];
                    var selVh = selVB[1]-selVB[3];
                    var selGB = sel.geometricBounds;
                    var selGw = selGB[2]-selGB[0];
                    var selGh = selGB[1]-selGB[3];
                    // get the difference between Visible & Geometric Bounds
                    var deltaX = selVw-selGw;
                    var deltaY = selVh-selGh;
                    sel.width = docw-deltaX; // width is Geometric width, so we need to make it smaller...to accomodate the visible portion.
                    sel.height = doch-deltaY;
                    sel.top = docTop; // Top is actually Visible top
                    sel.left = docLeft; // dito for Left
else
                    alert("select ONE object before running");
Thank for you help.
Best regards.

  • CS5 Crop area + export jpeg

    Hi everyone! Just got CS5 (very exciting). Upgraded from CS3. Now in CS3 you could just go Object>Crop Area>Make then when you export as jpeg only what is on the art board will show up on the jpeg. I've seen other people talking about the art board tool and such but I dont want to change the size of the art board or make crop marks, I just want to set an area in which the jpeg will export with out having to remove any thing else on my document. Thanks!

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    Great tip! and its easy to do.  I wish there was a FAQ on this site because tips like this one would be a great help.

  • Crop area in CS 4

    What's the quick easy way to crop area in CS 4 so that an exported
    jpeg will crop to that area? (used to be create rectangle over area, then Object>Crop Area>Make)
    Thanks

    What you can do with the artboards is to create create artboards with in artboards allowing you to use it as the crop area tool but on steroids.
    Say you have a document with 16 artobards which you intend ti use as pages or the like. Then you have art on several of these artboards you want to export as jpegs. zBy holding the shift key while the artboard tool is select you draw an artboard within that artboard but slightly larger than the art you want it to crop to and use the command under the artboard options to fit artboard to selected art. So now you end up doing this to say twenty select art objects and you want a jpeg of ach, in the export to jpeg dialog you select use artboards and then select the numbers of the artboards you want to export using a comma between the numbers to select an non continuous range of artboards. Click save and all the artboards are exported as individual jpegs.
    Now say you want to crop into some of the cutting off some of the art well you hold the shift key as before and you draw your artboard to the cropping you like now you an include these artbards with the others when exported or just select the artboards that tim the art.And you will get indidual jpegs as you defined the cropping with the artboards all in one click.
    Save for the web does not have this feature though it would be excellent if it did. Although you have the option to use the selected artboard.
    There are other advantages as well and I have a feature request to name artboards which will make this type of exporting even more beneficial but as we know those type of features either never get implemented or take three or four versions to be implemented.
    So your feature is still really there but enhanced.

  • Is it possible to make changes on object selection area???

    Hi friends,
    I wanna ask a question about portal.
    When we connect to portal we choose corporate documents , there are files of departmants like hr, it, corporate general ...
    We want some changes in object selection area of these files. For example when we get into object selection area of IT there are objects like favorites, others, personel documents, common document, common documents.
    My question is
    Can we deduct or hide some of these objects from object selection area? If we can, how can we do it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    We can hide those options by implementing the Layoutsets. If you need to hide those options for standard admin user itself, then you need to change the standard Layoutsets, which is not recommended. These options are defined in the "Command Group" of the Layoutsets.
    You can Navigate to Layoutsets thru below path.
    Sys Admin -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management ->Content Management -> User Interface -> Settings -> Layoutset
    Tweaking over the Layoutset Command group properties will hide the options which you mentioned.
    Thanks,

  • Multiple Artboards CS4 versus Crop Area CS3

    If i'm getting this right,
    1. CS 4 doesn't haven the Crop Area tool anymore.
    2. Artboards are limited to 100 artboards per document depent there size.
    Question;
    Is it possibel to create an artboard from an element/object as you could with Crop Area?
         Because in this way you could save "unlimited" artboard "templates" in your document for reuse.

    -Multiple artboards are a step forward.-
    Hmm I'm missing here something... Why is the crop Area tool gone? maybe because multiple artboards is the one to compentsate for it?
    And well it didn't , there are several discussions about that going on. Croparea's will be converted to artboards in CS4
    >>You can't create an artboard from an object. That is indeed one limitation I'd like to see lifted. You can create one artboard and just toggle different layers if needed. I guess I don't really understand the problem<<
    The problem is i've got a citymap, dimensions lets say 1000 mm x 1000 mm and I want to make an atlas from it.
    In other words I want to take several 150 mm x 210 mm fragments of the original map and put them on seperate pages.
    In Freehand I could make reference rectangles and give them a lensfill and export object only as an eps, pdf etc.
    In CS3 I could make Crop Areas from the reference rectangles and export as pdf etc.
    In CS4 crop areas is gone and will be converted to Artboards (i read in the forum).
    I need the reference rectangles because everytime I export the litlle fragment it must be the same and on the exact same place.
    The only way to do this in CS4 is to manualy move the page and bring it in line with the rectangle......
    Anyone some other idea's? it's crucial for my workflow and I'm looking if Illustrator is capable to do this so we can switch...

  • Unwanted paths showing after cropping to make a repeat pattern tile.

    I'm trying to make a repeat pattern tile (using CS5 on Windows 7), but when I crop the pattern, the expanded paths underneath become visible as on the flowers below.
    This is what I did after creating the artwork:
    Used the rectangle tool to make a box with fill/stroke directly on top of the artboard..
    Select all > Expand (selecting stroke only, not fill)
    Deselect the cropping box and grouped the remaining objects.
    Reselected the cropping box and grouped all objects
    Pathfinder > Crop
    I'm guessing it may have something to do with the fact I used a gradient on the flowers but have no idea how to resolve it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
    PS. Please excuse me if this explanation is really poorly worded...I've only ever used Illustrator for fashion technical sketches so my knowledge is pretty limited.

    Followed your advice above, and hopefully it will work. The only issue is it's a bit time consuming they way I'm doing it, as I'm having to delete the outermost objects first, then delete any objects which are partially inside the rectangle, otherwise I find some of the objects inside the rectangle are deleted too:
    At the moment for the objects that are partially inside the box, I'm using the scissors tool to cut the path where it crosses the rectangle. Is there an easier solution to this problem?

  • I am unable to override the crop area and adjust the crop margins in Acrobat X Standard.

    When cropping in Acrobat X Standard, I am no longer able to override the crop area and make adjustments in Acrobat X Standard. All options are grayed-out.
    This seems to be a relatively new issue, but I'm not sure when I started having the problem. While use the tool frequently, it's not daily, but I'd say that this is within the past couple of weeks.
    I've scoured the settings. I've trolled message boards. I've checked for updates. I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing or if I need to do a full reinstall.
    I've inserted an image below showing the issue. (Changing the page range and/or units seems to make no difference. I tried that out of desperation.
    Thanks, folks!

    Wow!  All fixed.  I ran defaults delete -g which did not show immediate improvement, but then I rebooted.  I must admit I did a Safe Boot, just to throw in one other solution I had seen.  However, everything is back to normal.  Thanks very much.

  • Illustrator CS4: Exporting as cropped image, unable to define Crop Area or Crop to Artboard

    Preface: I am using Adobe Illustrator CS4 Design Premium, Windows version.
    I am currently designing some projects in Illustrator CS4. I am NOT using multiple artboards, only one. On previous versions of Illustrator, users could simply Export> an image as a JPG, and the image would be appropriately cropped to either the Document size, or predetermined Crop Area marks which were easily chosen in the Object dropdown menu.
    Since the ever useful Object > set cropmarks function was removed with the advent of CS4, I am unable to Export an Illustrator file as a high-res JPG or TIF using the supposed Artboard as the cropmarks. In other words, when trying to export my project, the saved/exported image includes all content placed in the document, even material that extends beyond the Document size or Artboard size. Why is this? What am I overlooking?
    In the Artboard dialogue or settings, I cannot locate any option to set the Artboard as the default crop area for Exporting, saving, and printing, etc.
    After doing a bunch of research trying to find a fix, I have only discovered that there are thousands of other people posting on various forums regarding this same issue, so I think a detailed and complete explanation or instruction on how to do this would be very helpful and appreciated.
    Other than in the Save For Web & Devices settings, there seems to be no options to Export using cropmarks, or export a file to be properly cropped to the Artboard dimensions. Again, I know this function is possible when Saving for Web, but not with a normal high resolution Export as a flattened image such as a jpg... or at least I can't find out how.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Yeh this is pathetic and in my opinion a bug or false advertising. Since they haven't fixed it i believe this is false advertising and misleading for users who may have upgraded for this "feature".
    I do know some CS2 users who are holding out from upgrading for this reason!!
    I wonder what CEO's or higher ups would say if they heard or could understand this issue...How does program loose features meanwhile Adobe has how many billions in resources to fix these type of issues for their users who paid a pretty solid chunk for software that should work properly.
    Need some competition to fire them up! (any alternatives to illustrator anyone actually using?)

  • Define multiple crop area's, same size with overlap

    Is it possible to define multiple croparea's at once in CS3/CS4?
    Is it possible to define them and move each crop area a certain amount?
    I want to split a citymap into different page's (like an atlas) and export them separately as PDF or EPS.

    Cito-plan b.v.

    Daniel,
    You are not going to get Illustrator to replicate your FreeHand workflow. So far, every new function which Illustrator has borrowed from FreeHand since Adobe aquired it (including multiple pages) has fallen far short of FreeHand's treatment.
    There still is no Lens feature in Illustrator. There still is no option to export just the selection (absolutely stupid).
    Yet another unsatisfying workaround that might work for youi in CS3:
    If you haven't already, in Document Setup, set the artboard to the size of the full map.
    In the Print Dialog, General pane, set Media Size to the desired size for one portion of the map.
    In the Print Dialog, Setup pane, set Tiling to Tile Full Pages. Click Done (not Print).
    View>ShowPageTiling. Illustrator displays dotted lines indicating the numbered page tiles.You can get the utterly lame Page Tool (it's under the Hand tool), and click somewhere to set the page tiling origin where you want it (usually at the bottom left of the Artboard.
    Save A Copy as PDF. Turn on the option for Create Multi-page PDF from Page Tiles.
    The resulting PDF will have separate pages, with the map sliced up according to the Page Tiles. The artwork does not actually get sliced; objects which cross the bounds of a PageTile just get masked in the PDF.

  • Crop Area Tool - Illustrator CS3 (javascript)

    Can Javascript use the Crop Area Tool in Illustrator CS3?
    I am trying to create a crop area around the selected artwork.
    I can select the artwork (path object). Then I want to use the preset: crop to selected artwork. Then save, and repeat for next file.
    Is this possible using javascript?

    I don't know how far you have been up to with your code. I never really cropped the artwork by code, I only placed the crop marks using this code:
    aiDocRef.cropBox = [-bld, docH+bld, docW+bld, -bld];
    You could use the bounds of the selected graphics instead.
    Since I've never scripted the printing in Ai, I cannot tell you how to crop while printing, but this might get you started. In CS4 they introduced multiple artboards, which requires different code for cropping, as far as I can see from the ref PDF.
    cheers,

  • Crop Area Tool leaves a small border when using Save for Web

    A grain of sand as problems go; tiny but irritating.
    The process:
    Click on an object (or grouped objects) with the Crop Area Tool.
    Click File, and Save for Web and Devices
    The problem:
    The resulting image is offset one pixel from the crop area box, leaving a white or gray border on one or more edges. No empty space between the image and crop area box is detectable when zoomed in all the way. All measurements appear accurate.
    I'm using Illustrator cs3 13.0.2, with Windows XP.
    Has anyone else come across this problem?

    Yeah I have the same problem and it is incredibly frustrating!!

  • Stuck Crop Area...

    Been using Illustrator forever, never had this problem...
    I create a custom crop area [either using the tool, or changing a shape to a crop area via the menu bar] - this used to work fine, i could then save for web and export the image...latley though this isn't happening.
    Now the crop area is stuck to the artboard, regardless of any changes I make. I do ton of web work and my files are all over, so its not practical for me to resize the artboard and fit things into it.
    Did I change a setting or press something i've been unaware of for 5 years?
    Can anyone help me out? - BTW currently using CS3
    Thanks

    is there some sort of shortcut to do that? I've never gone into that tab ... ever - didnt know it even existed.

    This option is the one found under Administration/Security/Administrative Users select the user and open properties then select the Security Scopes tab.
