HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Finally Adobe is allowing up to make really big canvases in Adobe Illustrator! We no longer need to scale down billboards, vehicles, and other large files because of the limitation of the software. We can finally work at 100% scale with the new 100X larger canvas! Learn how to make a bigger canvas in Adobe Illustrator.
Here is the info on the larger canvas size limitations. The pdf parts are especially interesting:

Finally a video where it says canvas in the title and actually is about the canvas and not the artboard. Thanks
agreed!
Awesome! Thanks for this tip! Needed it.
Thanks for your video, that's helpful
Saved my life! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tip, this helped me out
Yes! Well done, thank you sir.
2021 version works perfectly! Thanks!
You are the BEST!!! thanks
Thanks for your video.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Jon! This info was exactly what I needed. You saved my life today:) You should do another vid about this but make it quick and concise.
I'm thinking of doing super concise tutorials on Instagram Reels. But I do plan to do more of these soon.
Thank you!
thank you so much
You are a lifesaver! Thank you for the video, it really helped:)
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that.
thanks alot same problem I am facing &fix it
Gardaşım eline emeğine sağlık. Yardımcı oldun.
Thank you bro
clear and concise. Thanks.
Appreciate it!
Great video thank you for this information!! Would you be able to make a video that goes over how to scale graphics depending if a client wants it bigger or smaller by a few inches? Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. If you are making the graphics in Illustrator, they should be vector, and therefore pretty easy to scale to any size. Can you explain the issue more? I'm happy to help!
Thanks man.
This was really helpful.
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
Excellent
THX!
Thanks
Thanks bro
Big thanks to you man
Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks, man!
No problem! Thanks for checking out the video.
Finally a solution that works!
thanks! basically what i needed. So if i do have to make a print half-sized, does the DPI i save at matter? Sorry, not used to large scale work. Making a tradeshow booth for the first time. It's going to be large so ideally i should half-size it correct?
Thanks!
There isn’t a single answer really, but in the past I’ve always saved it at a percentage of the final size and made sure the printer is aware. When it comes to DPI, you need to do the math and know what it’ll be at full size. So let’s say your printer says a trade show booth needs to be 150dpi, but you make your file 50% size. Then you want your raster images to be 300dpi. That way once blown up to full size, they’ll still print nicely. This is just an example.
Thank you, Sir :)
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much..!!
Thank you!
Hi Jon, thank you for your tutorial. 👍I managed to change the canvas size to the maximum width of 577.95cm. I am new to design, if it's not too troublesome, would you be able to advise me on the billboard of 650cm x 240cm? 🙏
Did you try making a brand new document at the 650cm?
Absolute gamechanger! I have been making wrap files at 10% or 25% for ages. This is going to really simplify the process. I tip my hat to you sir!
No problem! Just keep an eye out if you’re printing things. You need to save it as a new pdf (version 7 I think?) and some older printers and software won’t recognize it yet and they’ll make the file automatically 10%.
@@CrusoeDesignCo Yeah only problem I get is that the trim marks become HUUUGE. It sucks you cant decide the size of them somewhere?
@@CrusoeDesignCo I have the same issue using my CM4 plugin it still takes the files as 1/10th scale is there any work around for that?
@@moritzpetre767 Not that I know of. I still have to make some files 50% using the old document type.
thank you:)
Thanks for watching!
Finally, after 20 years, adobe get rid of this ridiculous limitation! We have filed so many complaint about this artboard limitation over the years, just don't know what is the difficult part for them to change it....It's better for designer to create original size file especially for printing. I've experiences with some not so professional (encounter with small village printer nearby our event venue) printer doesn't know how to print by scale (or linked back the jpeg files)! Thanks for sharing!
Haha. No problem!! Yeah there are still some hitches, so hopefully it’ll be smooth and easy eventually!
Life saver
helo sir, thank for your video. why my ai cc 2017 cant make big size ? it just for ai cc 2020? thanks
Hey! Yes, unfortunately this is a new feature in 2020 only.
Jon Brommet thanks sir
@@CrusoeDesignCo I try 5min until I know I m using 2019 :'(
Ahhh man i wish i searched for this sooner, you saved me so much headache. So stupid that just setting it up from new document works.
I agree! Hopefully that’ll change eventually.
One thing you forgot to mention is that when copying from one illustrator file to another, and you have layers, you will need to go to layers palette, click on the the lines in the top right of the palette, then make sure "Paste Remembers Layers" is selected. This way all layers and names come over the exact same as the old document.
Good tip!
please the new version make so slow my computer.. why do thats? please help
These large canvas now import into InDesign at 1/10th of the size but say they are at 100%. Is there any way to get them to import at true size or at least for it to indicate that they're actually only 1/10 of the size?
Yes I think at the end of the video I explained that older versions of Acrobat PDFs will scale it to 10%. You need to use PDF Acrobat 7 or 8 when exporting.
HOWEVER, even if you do that, you’ll still run into conflicts in other software until everything is updated to handle this new system. I guess InDesign falls under this issue, though I haven’t tested it myself.
Hey Is this outer gray canvas is useless, means it will not affect the design right? also Could you please tell me why they give this gray canvas? Bit Confused
Yes that’s correct. The gray area is sort of the behind the scenes area where you can place elements you may not need to see. It’s nice to have that area to move elements around and keep pieces you may use later.
How to put size 800 cm to 900 cm can u explain me
Jon, please, help me man.. Why I cannot do this like you are doin in this video.. I have the 2020 illustrtion version installed.. help! Cheers from Brasil!
Hey Renato! Are you trying to create a brand new file when you add the larger size? You cannot change the size of an existing file to large format unfortunately. If that's not the issue, unfortunately you may need to contact Adobe Support as it's difficult for me to troubleshoot here.
Roughly 2271" inch X 2275" Inch --- thanks for the tip.... put this in my start up file work flow.... _ Kai's Power Tools & Work Flow!
RADD! New Sub!!
Appreciate it! I'll try and get on new tutorials soon.
I have the 2020 illustrator version, but it doesnt alow me to to have a canvas bigger than 227.541 inches.. please, please, help, I work with huge vector files

When I import a large ilustrator file into an indesign work, the artboards are placed in 10% scale. How to deal with that?
Honestly the large illustrator file is still a problem from what I can tell. A lot of software will see it at 10% scale.
I’m also guessing you can’t make an InDesign page that large anyway, so it’ll need to be scaled down.
Plz anyone help how 900w and 400 h canvas siZe
only problem I have encountered is when cutting graphics using the larger canvas the cutter thinks it is to 1/10th scale for some reason.
Yeah I think I covered that in the video. Make sure you save a pdf with the newest version of Adobe PDF.
But some software still won’t recognize the new system and will default to 10%.
Cпасибо!
there's something that you are not explaining, I have a document open, I went to file and open a new document , changed it to inches and still every time I put 300IN it goes back to 227..
You must make a new file. Not open an existing document. So Command+N or Control+N. If that isn't working, do you have an old version of illustrator?
I have 2020 version, this doesn't work
I don't know what i am doing wrong
Which version? If you go to Illustrator, click the Illustrator name (on Mac anyway) then about Illustrator. The newest right now is 24.3. Make sure you are opening a new file with the big size too, not trying to change the size of an old file.
@@CrusoeDesignCo oh there's newer version in 2020?
I'll see and update..thanks for replying!
Whaaat????
I have to try it in morning.
I am doing my every fucking design in scale.
Sometimes i forgot about scale what i made
Honestly, I still do. They need to make this process more seamless. Also, watch out how you save it as a pdf etc.
didnt work for me.. : (
What version of Illustrator are you using?
Ok, nothing about modifying an existing document. I got that.
It’s been a couple years since I made this video and from what I can tell, Adobe still has not implemented this larger canvas size well. When saving as a pdf with any older generation it still shrinks the art to 10% without really telling you I believe. I haven’t checked out tried modifying a new document again. I’ll try and remember to check tonight.
@@CrusoeDesignCo thank you ;)
maravilha
limited to 189.6181 ft x 189.6181 ft, , which is 2275" thats a 10x improvement, not 100x..
I agree but this is how Adobe themselves are advertising it. helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/user-guide.html/illustrator/using/large-sized-artwork.ug.html
It's not 100x bigger. It's 10x bigger. Not sure why Adobe claims 100x?? 227.5416” before vs 2,275.416” now.
I agree. Someone else mentioned that as well. I’m just going with Adobe’s claims.
@@CrusoeDesignCo I hear you, but what is Adobe thinking? They seem to claim 100x bigger than "default canvas size". What is that size? Not familiar with any limitation around 22.75" x 22.75", which would be the size 100x smaller than 2,275" x 2275". Weird. But I am super happy about the 10x increase! Thanks Adobe!! :)
Still sucks.
