The file size was caused by the photo of the Workbook! Problem solved :)

Oh My, I didn't realise it would open so large! I only saved it at 50% quality, too!!

This was originally an exercise to use the Asset Manager which I love to bits, it lets my play with parts of buildings just like I used to play with my Bayko Building set a few years ago (before the days of Lego houses) and save the parts to rearrange them into a different building another day. Great fun! However, it is Hallowe'en tomorrow night, so I have to do my bit.....

I am delighted to see Asset Management and I'm finding it very useful.
Just an issue with saving.
1 Created a new category called Suburbia
2 I wanted to save this category so exported it as Suburbia 2016 10 30
3 Saved my work and closed the program
4 Opened the program today and checked to see what was showing in the Asset Management pop-up
5 Just IOS10 and Suburbia.
6 When I Imported Suburbia 2016 10 30 it seemed to import but only as Suburbia 1
7 Added more items to Suburbia 1, exported the category as Building Blocks
8 Saved my work and closed the program.
9 Opened the program again. Just IOS10 and Suburbia in the pop-up menu
10 Imported Building Blocks
11 The category Building Blocks imported but called itself Suburbia 2
In reality I had tried this several times so my Asset Manager is temporarily populated with quite a few Suburbias with consecutive numbers.
Is there any way that I can export a category and get it to Import under its correct name, please?
Screenshot 1 is when I was adding today's assets to the Suburbia category that I created yesterday, screenshot 2 shows the results of trying to add either Suburbia 2016 10 30 or Building Blocks.
Do I have to, for example, create a new category called Building Blocks before I can import the file again? This is an activity I foresee using often as I might take an existing category but delete some items and add others to change its nature for future use, when it would be easier just to find the best category from my list for the next project and not just use one category which becomes overpopulated.

It might take me a while to save up - seriously, if I could go back to 1988 and start my business again, this is what I would use. Perfect. I want. I have space, too, I sold my old, good as new, A0 drawing board last month due to lack of use.

See page 126 - the link (affin.co/...) is in the same part of each chapter, and page 69, the green page on chapter 2 for the core skills link.Hello, first time here. I just received my wonderful book yesterday, all it took was ONE DAY!!! amazing! It's a beautiful book and very informative, my question is:
Can anybody guide me to the place I can download all the files relate it with the book? Again excellent book and thanks for the help.

The Affinity Designer Workbook states the file name for the Resource files to download, for example
core_skills_artboards.afdesign
but one requires a complete Internet address.

I fell for this, too! Go back a few pages to the green page at the beginning of the chapter - that is the URL (affin.co/...) that you want, although it doesn't look much when you get there, everything you want for the book is there :)
-
It's a very simple design, no special effects, no fades, glows, anything, just needs to be capable of printing out at anything from A6 to A0 sizes without distortion of pixelation. I'll try a few things around the PDF and see what the results are like.
I'll also see if it opens in my Mac AD, too.
Thanks :)

It still shows currently unavailable for me :D But it does link to a different book in German :)

I have received commercial interest in one of my vector-only creations, the client wants to be able to print to any size from covering a cushion to covering a wall. I wasn't intending the work as anything other than for my own amusement originally (and the client is known to me, so no complications)
Question: client does not have Affinity, not yet at least, and I made this piece when I was playing about with the early betas of AD for Windows. The only way I can think of sending a proper scaleable vector file is to find out what program he uses and export in that format? Unless you have a better idea :)

And it may show up on Amazon as a used book, sooner (if people are disappointed - suppose) or later.
Good Point!
It won't be my used book, though, I've just just been browsing through the tutorials/projects and I am amazed at the detail and depth and the care that has gone into this. :)
-
Yes, but ... this isn't an old book that they no longer sell, it's a new book that they're apparently not going to be selling!
I agree entirely, but because they deliver it, it is in their system and therefore they "know about it" - and they link their book lists with libraries so that information and cover pictures can be shared, so I think it's just how it works. You disclose to Amazon that a book exists and they log it, in effect.

So why are we seeing it here?
I think it's just their system, I notice that they never remove obscure old books, either, even though the one copy they had was sold a few years ago, they just keep it there ad infinitum as currently unavailable. :(
-
If it isn't going to be sold on Amazon.co.uk, it seems rather odd that they have this listing for it! :o
It is currently unavailable...! Which explains one strange thing I went to scan my copy into LibraryThings (I was going to say it is my Friday read this week) but it scanned an unrecognisable ISBN - I checked and the sticker over the ISBN on the back of the book was all letters, not numbers. I might still list it as my Friday Read though :D
Edit; Job Done :ph34r:

Thanks - I had whizzed past the detail on that page :)

How do I download the resource files, please?

Have to love insomnia, working my way through the Affinity Designer Workbook, picking up little things that I hadn't noticed before and finally understanding the purpose of artboards! I've designed three colourways of the logo for my new imaginary company and I am waiting for my imaginary client to choose one and pay me some imaginary money. Imagine is the key word with this new book, it banishes the 'white page" syndrome and feeds my imagination.

My goodness! The book has arrived here too, at 2pm in Dundee. Looks fabulous! The delivery man said he would have been earlier, but he had to stop in Manchester area to deliver Sunset's first! ( joking) Thanks all :)
ROFL! So true!!!!! Made my day :D :D :D

Going by the other items in the pic, I can't help wondering whether it's really an early Christmas present or actually a late birthday present! Or perhaps it's a bit of both. ;)
It's traditional in our house that we enjoy birthday cards for a week, they are so pretty it's a shame to do otherwise. I think the book is a birthday present to myself perhaps - it certainly isn't going to be hidden away until Christmas :)
-
Food, Furniture, and a book.... what a morning. :D Someone's gonna be busy today. Glad you posted the pic otherwise I'm not sure I would have believed it..
I was very surprised, too; all the delivery men know that the front of our house is the safest place round here to set down, run and deliver and zip off again, so I took no notice until the man walked to the front door! I'm supposed to be helping hubby to build new computer desk, but somehow or other I keep coming here (poorly knee can be a blessing, sometimes), for another flip through the book :D :D :D

The difference in the original file is more dramatic, down from 25.6Mb to 2.6Mb. I shall have to play around with reducing the size of the canvas, perhaps, for posting here.
