Is there option to fit square to artboard size in Illustrator?

Question

I constantly create square background which I should adjust to artboard size. Almost every time I miss one or two pixels (Retina is good for that), so I looked for one-click feature "click object to artboard size" and didn't find it.Probably there is a faster way instead of inserting exact parameters of the artboard to the square dimensions?Illustrator CS6. Thanks.

Answer 1

The best answer I can find is that the artboard can fit to the size of the square, but not the other way around.

It is still fairly simple, but a couple more simple steps are included. In the end, the square and the artboard should be perfectly fitted together.

1. Create a new document (any size artboard will do.)
2. Create the exact size of your square
3. You can select the Rectangle tool and click once anywhere on the open Illustrator window
4. The Rectangle tool options should pop-up for you to type in the exact measurements you want your square and artboard to be
5. Make sure your new square is selected
6. Go to the Object menu > Artboards > Fit to Artwork
7. Your Artboard should snap to the size of your square

Even though it is probably not the answer you were looking for, it is the best alternative I can find.
