Thanks, I’ll give it a try…👍🏼

I have imported a Designer file (with two art-boards) into another designer file (all on iPad) but can not find a way to display the art-board I want. I thought it would be obvious but there seems to be no selection box anywhere. Is it even possible to do this? Can you specify which art-board to display on import somewhere/how? Why does the original file not update in the host file (resorted to duplicating the document and deleting other art-board) after editing? Simple feature just can’t see it anywhere.

Glad this helped you Arkurius, I too remember the functionality existed in the Adobe products and thought it would make sense that the same functionality existed in Affinity software too... Its okay...found it!! Thanks for anyone who read. Sorry, makes sense... So in the Layers Panel find the layer the linked image resides [See - 1. LAYERS PANEL - LINKED DOCUMENT image] Then at the top of the screen, where the menu changes contextually, there is a button that says the name of the Artboard imported automatically (for some reason its the last board not the first - that could be because I rearranged mine though) [See - 2. TOP CONTEXT MENU image] When you click on the button it will present a drop down list of all the artboards, simply select the one you need. [See - 3. TOP CONTEXT MENU CLICKED image] I hope this helps.

Hi, Is it possible to specify which Artboard to display when using a Designer file to replace an image in Publisher? I have a grid set up, in Publisher, of 15, 5mm round image frames on 1 A4 page. I have 15, 5x5mm artboards set up in Designer. I would like to place a different artboard in each image frame. Thanks in advance. Tom

When is it going to happen, if ever? Users have been requesting it for 5 years now. This really would set Designer apart from all the other competitors out there, especially if the functionality was ported to iPad as well...

Hi All, Has this functionality been implemented? Its been five years since this thread began so fingers crossed. 😉 Thanks, ‘Tom
