Good to know … Greetings

Take your layer named bg sky and group it with itself. Afterwards apply the mask to the group. Now you can transform the layer Greetings

It's much easier ... - Draw a normal rectangle without rounded corners - Assign a radius with the context bar - Click inside with the frame text tool and enter the desired text Then you can still change the radius using the context bar or even with the rectangle tool activated using the mouse.

When you create a new document, there is a checkbox to create an artboard in document size. Maybe this will help ...

@Hangman Looks like you are right. 12pt text from a document with 300dpi and pixels as unit copied into a document with 72 dpi and also pixels as unit results in exactly 50pt. So this error is not fixed yet ...

Hello, I think the error has not yet been completely fixed ... 1. Create a document with 300dpi, in it a text frame with text. Copy the text frame to the clipboard 2. Create a document with 72dpi. Paste the text frame from the clipboard. Result: The font size is retained. 3. Reduce the text frame so that there is an overflow. Create a new text frame and link it to the first one. The text appears in the second text frame. Result: The font size is retained. 4. Copy both text frames to the clipboard. Switch to the first document with 300dpi and paste the two linked text frames from the clipboard. Result: The font size changes. See screenshots. Tested with AfPub 2.5.5 on Windows 10.

Yes, happens also when you create any shape beside the artboard. So the artboard must be active to show the guides belonging to it … Seems to be right. Thanks for answering.

I have just observed a strange behavior of Designer in connection with artboards, guides and placed images. create a new document including artboard create a guideline within the artboard, horizontal or vertical does not matter place an image file outside the artboard (drag and drop or via menu command), tested with JPG, PNG, AFPHOTO the result is that the guideline disappears, the guideline is also no longer displayed in the guideline dialog. deleting the image file immediately displays the guideline again does not happen when placing the image within the artboard Can anyone reproduce this behavior? Windows 10 22H2, Designer 2.5.3

As artboards behave like normal objects, you can use the contour tool to display the bleed. Select your artboard after that the contour tool and enter a positive amount, for example 3mm. Now you can see all objects that are in the bleed. 1. Select your artboard in the layers palette 2. Switch to the contour tool 3. In the toolbar set the radius to e.g. 3mm The artboard will be extended to the 3mm and show this part wich is normaly hidden. An artboard defined with 100mm width will show 106mm width. Maybe this helps …

In your case I would create an third artbord 3 with the dimensions of artboard 1 + artboard 2. This new one should be placed at the bottom of the layer stack and positioned that way that its dimensions includes artboard 1+2. In this artboard you create your whole design. For export you can know select the complete content of artboard 3 and move it in the layer palette into artboard 1. Now you export artboard 1. After that select everything again and move it to artboard 2 and export. You will not get a single PDF with 2 pages. But 2 separate PDF files that can be printed. Hope that ist some kind of understandable.

I have just installed the new version 2.5.3. The previously non-functioning font Frutiger is displayed and I can work with it. Thank you very much!

If you mark node A and B with the node tool the transformation panel shows the corresponding angle. See screenshot. Does this help?

At least on a Windows machine it is possible via mouse. Press CTRL+Alt and move the mouse horizotally will increase/decrease brush size. Moving the mouse vertically will change brush sharpness. Greetings

Thank you for your information and efforts. The functions of version 1.10.x are clearly sufficient for the upcoming project. For the future, however, it would be nice to be able to use Type 1 fonts again. Even if they have to be converted to curves for PDF output.

Like you Windows 10 Pro.
