Thank you. This solves the issue for me. The printer's final dimensions were throwing me off in my calculations!

Hi. Thank you for the reply. Yes, the Artboard is the correct size. I figured the size of my rectangle labeled "actual dimensions of 2x3.5 with .125 bleed" by entering the values of 2.125" and 3.525" in their respective Transform field - which are the dimensions of the black rectangle, which I did include with the file i provided - it is the unlabeled black rectangle.

Hey Affinity Designer aficionados! Hoping to get some help here as this issue is driving me nutso today! I'm trying to setup a 2"x3.5" print file with 0.125" Bleed. The issue that I am running into is that both the Bleed and the Margins are showing twice their size when displayed. When I create a rectangle of 2.125"x3.625" to account for the 0.125" Bleed, the dimensions do not match as shown in attachments. Can anyone advise what the issue is and or how to resolve this? Many thanks in advance for taking the time to look into this. Hang Tag Designs - Bleed + Margin Issue.afdesign

Fantastic! Thank you for looking into this and for adding it to the bug report. The repaired file has indeed fixed the issue.

Hi and thank you for the welcome. At the moment, it is the Logo Colors [Artboard 8], that is causing the issues. Deleting this particular Artboard allows it to be exported out as PDF (for export) easily. Keeping it and exporting it out causes it to hang. The stroke on the black rectangle around the two logos is at 0.3, and Layer>Expand Stroke causes it to freeze. I appreciate you looking into it. CH - Brand Guidelines.afdesign

Hey there! I'm having the same issue as the OP - my Affinity Designer v 2.0.4. hangs on export. PDF export freezes 3/4 of the way through and just hangs there. I had to asses slide by slide to see what was causing exporting issues. I've seem to gave narrowed it down to this - I have square and rectangular strokes in the PDF that are causing the spinning circle of death. I was able to Layer>Expand Stroke on the square ones and this allowed the export to continue. When I added the slide with the rectangular stroke, activating Layer>Expand Stroke causes the software to freeze and I am having to Force Quit Affinity. Ironically, I was able to pop open Affinity Designer v 1.10.5 and did not have to do any expanding of the strokes - the pdf exported without any issues at all. Can you look into this?
