Choose All Pages and place the individual shirt designs in the document. Here we can take two slightly different approaches: Now let’s save this Illustrator document to take it into InDesign. You can also choose Rearrange Artboards from the Artboards panel flyout menu to tidy up the layout of your artboards.

With the shirt still selected, I choose Edit > Cut, and then Edit > Paste on All Artboards. If you (those of you who are not Mark) have a question, or Mark, if you have another one, send them along to or even post them next to any article here you might have a query about.I select everything on the artboard by choosing Select > All on Active Artboard, switch to Artboard Tool and choose Fit to Selected Art from the Presets list in the Control panel.
