Hello guys, I'd like to ask whether there is any way to merge or divide the artboards in Designer. To be more precise: let's say there is a document's cover in 2 parts: front cover and back (rear) cover as well. I'd like to have them seen as a whole in terms of design. Like both of them have the same picture/typo printed, but rear one contains the left side of composition, and front one - right side. I struggled to just scale an object to make it continuously appear on both sides. In the past I used to crop the desired image or text in half (or other proportion) and place the "left cut" on the left artboard, and the right one - at the right one. Sometimes it is very time-consuming, when the more elements need to be cut and moved and/or when proportions differ from standard half to half ratio. Is there any other way to do that faster and with more precision?

Thanks again for your support, guys! This community is definitely one of the most important reasons why I love this software so much.

@Komatös- is there any way to do it in Affinity Designer? I checked your solution in Photo, and it worked pretty much wonderful (although I'd appreciate the possibility to input numbers instead of changing settings of grid manually), but in AD there's no "Live Filter Layer". So, did you mean that I need to do that in Photo and export distorted layer(s) to Designer?

Yeah, @v_kyr that's exactly what I do: - export everything, artboard by artboard and merge them together in PDF24 - export it as a singl pdf, cut it down by PDF 24, and merge in different order.

Danke schon

I got your point but, still, I thought there's no way to change the order as my order of adding new artboards is the same I expect to see in a PDF document. So, the first artboard is my 1st page, 2nd artboard is my desired 2nd page, etc. I have never changed the order in "Layers" panel, so it should reflect the order they have been added.

Thanks for a tip, Walt, I do appreciate that. I'll check it when I'm back home. However, I'm pretty much sure that I always add Artboards in the order I expect to see in pdf (Artboard#1 - page 1, Artboard #5 - page 5, etc.), so I don't see any reason why their order in the Layers panel would be different.

I noticed a strange thing in AD few years ago. It is not annoying, but just weird and I'm wondering if it's me doing something badly or there's a small bug. To the point: when I create a new project of many artboards in AD and later than I try to export whole document into the 1 pdf file, the order of pages in pdf differs from the one in a project. For example, Artboard 2 is a Page 2 in pdf, but Artboard 7 is a Page 8 or Page 11 in a pdf. I noticed it usually happens in projects of 10+ artboards. Is this a bug or just me doing something wrong with export?

Hi guys, I just wonder if there's any possibility to create a effect of specific 3D perspective. I mean, it would be nice to draw something in usual 2D and then transform it to look like it's a part of 3d space with all 3d distortions that come from a perspective. I know the tutorial with grids and meshes in AD but it isn't effect I'm looking for. I mean, if I set the grid, the angles are still the same (like 90 and 45 degrees) no matter what's the relation between an object and specific point in the space. I'm not sure if I put it clear, so please take a look at attached examples. Is there any tool in AP/AD (usual versions, not the 2 yet) to do that?
