[Is there a way to "unlink" duplicated embedded objects from each other in Affintiy Designer?]

I have created a phone mockup, and placed it into my file. I now want multiple duplicates of my mockup in my file, but change them up a little. Is there a way to duplicated this embedded file without all duplicates referring to the same embedded file?

I cannot unembed it because I use it to replace the screen of the mockup.

I cannot place it again because I made changes to the mockup for it to better fit in the context of my file.

How can I duplicate it without it pointing to the same "embedded file"?

 

Many thanks in advance!

I see ... thanks for letting me know! I am glad to hear I did everything correctly

 

I guess I will make do with the boolean operations in the meanwhile then!

[Designer: How to scale textframes when resizing artboards via the transform panel?]

Hello there!

 

I am currently trying to resize an existing artboard to an exact value using the transform panel, however I can't get the textframes to scale with the artboard, rather than just changing the frame size. When I use the "scale handle" and "manually" resize the artboard, it works just fine.

How would I go about doing it with the transform panel?

 

I have this question also over on stackexchange: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/120555/affinity-designer-how-do-i-make-textframes-scale-with-the-artboard-if-i-scale-b

 

Also attached you should find a gif demonstrating the issue I am facing.

[Designer: Quickly toggle transparency grid]

Hi there! I would like to know if there maybe is a way to quickly toggle the transparency grid in affinity designer?

I know that you can activate it by going into "document setup" > "colour" > "transparent background"

 

In Illustrator I was used to being able to quickly toggle it on or off by using the shortcut "cmd / strg + shift + d".

Is this also possible in Affinity Designer somehow?

[Designer: Equivalent to Illustrator Shaper Tool?]

Is there an equivalent to Adobe Illustrator's shaper tool I can use to quickly cut off excess elements of overlapping shapes?

In Illustrator, once accessed using the shortcut shift + m, it can be used to quickly cut and combine selected shapes. (I have attached a video demonstrating the feature)

Since this tool was pretty handy in quickly creating new shapes out of a bunch of others, it would be stoked to learn if something similar exists within Affinity Designer!

 

Thanks in advance.
