#ILLUSTRATOR ARTBOARD TRANSPARENT HOW TO#

It's still displaying the checkered pattern.Īny idea how to do that? Ultimately I want to create a template with a white artboard to replace the default HDV/HDTV template. I read on the web a way to do this is to change the first color box in document setup to white, then check the simulate color paper box.

When I look at new document created with paper templates, which have white artboard, they don't use this method because the checker pattern in document setup is not both set to white. Now you’ll be able to see all the document properties. Make sure the Save As type is set to Inkscape SVG (green arrow). Then, go to the folders Share>Templates (red arrow), and click on the file named default.svg. Go to the Document Setup under the File menu. Next, search your computer for the Inkscape folder (it’s usually on your C: drive or D: drive, depending on where you installed it).

This seems kind of silly and feels wrong. I’ll walk you through how to make an image in Adobe Illustrator with a transparent background. Press V on your keyboard to activate this tool. Use the Selection Tool to select the image on the artboard. If the image does not have a transparent background, feel free to continue with the next steps. One way is to use document setup to change the transparency display color boxes both to white, so that even though a checkered grid is displayed as the background, the checkered pattern is white alternating with white = solid white. To do so, press Ctrl + Shift + D (or Command + Shift + D on Mac). This makes it difficult for me to work on. When I create a new document based on the HDV/HDTV template, the artboard is transparent.
