So I have a large number of *.ai
files with assets at 3 unique sizes.
I want to export the right most one to file (the largest one).
My current process for doing this manually is:
- Open File
- Delete paths in left two artboards with
V
(Selection Tool) +(manually select paths)
+Del
. - Enter artboard editor mode:
Document Setup
>Edit Artboards
. - Click 'X' icon in top right of each of the leftmost artboards to delete them.
File
>Export
- Click
Use Artboards
checkbox - Click save (default name based upon
*.ai
file name is appropriate in my case).
Obviously if I had some way to batch or script this manual process, it would be much quicker.
A brief search in local questions yielded an answer on creating artboards via script, but nothing on going in the opposite direction -- deleting them via script.
Also: I should add that the leftmost two artboards (which I'm deleting) are always the same size and position relative the largest artboard. I imagine that would help on any automated solution, albeit I'm anticipating it'd be complex given the lack of pertinent material I found when poking around.
