I am designing some icons. To keep the proportions correct, I designed all the glyphs in one artboard.
Now, I want to experiment a little with SVG icons, so I want to export these icons to different SVG files. How do I go about doing this?
I thought that I'd surround each icon with an artboard, then exporting would be easy... Turns out that the Export option has the 'artboards' option, but does not present any workable vector format. The Save for the Web also has the artboards option, but again, only offers gif, jpeg and png formats. The Save-as option does let me save as SVG, but does not offer any way to save the icons into different files.
Also, I have like 150+ icons, so I can't use artboards anyways (CS6 restricts me to 100 artboards only). So I tried to use slices, but where do I go from there?
Any pointers?
Answer
In Illustrator CC - the Save As dialogue has a Use Artboards checkbox. Checking this will save each artboard as a separate SVG file (don't forget to select SVG format).
If you have more icons than available artboards, I'd probably just copy/paste the excess into a new Illustrator document.
