Artboard Tool not always selecting artboard
-
I noticed there are many times I am unable to select the artboard with the artboard tool in the vertical toolbar. I can choose that tool and then click around to select it and nothing happens. If I click and drag with it I get a 2nd artboard created which is expected. If I save and close the open file and then reopen the file, the tool returns to functioning normally.
I notice this happens more often after I've imported art from another file and changed around colors of items int he art. I don't know if or how it might be related.
I am using default settings in the preferences
-
@Boldline "Changed around colors of items in the art" involved double-clicking a container object to edit the objects inside it?
Because that is the single cause I discovered (and recently reported) for this issue — after exiting the container object the Artboard tool cannot select existing artboards anymore unless you close and re-open that file.

@b77 hmm yes that seems like a strong possibility it's the same issue you. I was indeed clicking inside containers to edit colors and backing out and trying to alter the artboard color after that. i will test that theory out.

i tried that out what you wrote and found out
that it seems you dont have to close and re-open the File.
Just go back inside the Container ( isolation Mode)
and the Artboard Tool work.Btw it could be any container then.

@Subpath You're right, it's a better workaround.

gladly, was surprised myself that this works

@Boldline This can be replicated. Will be fixed ASAP.
