1) Affinity Designer 2 2)Document Setup / create/ B5 / B5 blank document appears Document Setup Box above document Deselect 'Portrait' The 'tick' disappears but the document remains 'portrait' when 'OK' selected. Screenshots below. HtH Mark Woodward.

Just updated to this version and can no longer select 'Landscape' format in 'Document Setup' (B5 document). Mark Woodward.

Changing this setting has 'fixed' the problems - thanks but why would the canvas size be wrong?

Sorry - I have just found it 'document setup'.

Thanks but how do I change the 'canvas size'? - I didn't consciously change this, I selected B5 as the document size. I have looked in 'settings' but cannot find anything.

Attached are three screen prints, the first shows a rectangle (bottom left) set as 0pt - this too heavy for my needs, the second shows the same rectangle set as 0.3pt and, as you can see, it is very thick (previous versions of the software were typically set at 0.7 - 0.9pt for a thin line weight. The third picture shows a similar problem I have now found whereby text font size is very large the 'B' is 0.9pt (which should be about the size of the other text on the picture). The picture overall size is B5 format.

When using a drawing tool (rectangle etc.) the width tool slider increments seem to have changed whereby 0pt is minimum width - anything larger is huge - this has never been an issue previously. Using Windows 11, version 22H2. Attached picture shows the very thick lined rectangle set as only 0.2pt line width! The thinnest line is 0pt. Designer Line drawing pfroblem.pdf

For no reason the 'Place' tool file option becomes 'Text Files (*.TXT)' and thus will not 'see'/open any other type (.JPEG, .PDF) etc. This has happened a few times randomly. I.e. I had imported circa 10 .JPEGs OK when suddenly it stops. Restarting the software and also rebooting the PC has no affect.

Hello, I'm unsure as to whether this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong but I'm trying to 'customise the tools'. The menus seem OK but I cannot find the icons I want in the list to select from. See the screen shots attached, the icons I want are the 'shapes' icons (clouds, triangles, etc.) but the options panel doesn't include them.

Yes - will do ...

It never 'blue screens' but the Designer software stops in various states - e.g black screen but other apps often still work. The usual fix is to go to Task Manager and 'End Task' there - often takes a few attempts. When restarting Designer afterwards my work is never lost (thank goodness!).

Thanks for the reply. With regard to the crashes, you've lost me somewhat but all I can say is that the computer is a virtually new- I have attached the basic spec as a screenshot.

Two issues so far: 1) Line width - value doesn't increment correctly via 'slider' - used to be perfect. Pic attached ... 2) Entire system crashes often - seems to be a memory issues as the software 'grabs' loads of memory - very noticeable when exporting a file to a PDF - if the process 'freezes' when it it composing a preview, I know that, at the very least 'Designer' will crash or worse - the entire computer will crash! This problem seems to be with any version V2.

I've tried this with Designer V2.04 and it doesn't seem to work - the default remains as Arial - any ideas?

Hello Allan, Affinity contacted me to say that V2.0.3 is now available and this should improve the situation. I have upgraded to this version but I have yet to try it 'in anger' to see if has actually worked, might I suggest that you try and do the same. Regards, MWOO
