Mr. K

Is there a way to save a column setup as an asset?

Absolute deal breaker without hyperlinks. I'm making plans to distribute as PDFs with links to online sources. Publisher is useless to me without hyperlinks.

I would have had to search for pricing to find that. I searched for Publisher price, which I felt was a better search. Anyway, I do appreciate your link to the info.

The answer to the cost of Publisher is very important to me. I can't invest time in the beta without knowing at least a projected cost range. Staff please reply.

Thanks

How do I make the background of an AD file transparent?

Yes, this is a big and very long standing problem. It goes way back. I'm still waiting, but in the meantime you can make the arrowhead a separate object and manually place it on the curve. It's a ton of extra work. My. solution has been to abandon AD and create my drawings in my CAD app.

Thanks. I will give that a try.

I need to export from AD into Vectorworks so I can then export the line art as DXF. What might be the best way to get my AD art into Vectorworks?

Thanks

I have two artboards in my document. Is there a way to hide one?

Because I forgot to mention AD in my original question, and I don't believe there is a change canvas size in AD. There is in AP.

Found it. Margins!

Looks like something is left over. How do I get rid of it?

Perfect. Thanks much.

How is this done?

Is there a setting to automatically center the text from the top of a circle? So an equal amount is on the left and on the right of the circle's top center. I did this manually. It's a pain every time a change is made.

Post Office marketing model... We aren't making enough money, so we need to charge more. Cable TV marketing model... The competition is beating us to death, so we need to charge more.

Thanks for the info. I will give it a try. In the meantime, the "stack" developer updated their stack to make it work with 100% x 100%.

I'm trying to export an SVG image to use in RapidWeaver, but it is not working the way I need it to work. I'm told by the stack developer (RapidWeaver uses stacks) that the problem is the SVG is exported at 100%, and that the stack needs to have it the actual size. Is there a setting that I can use to make AD export it at its real size rather than coding it as 100%?

@hvdb I looked at your photos. Absolutely fabulous. Well done!

Thank you HVDB. That is a great solution. And thank you firstdefence. Your suggestion works and it was what I was doing,

Is there a way to place burn and dodge changes on a separate layer?

Please make it so the Mac Finder displays the preview of an alias. The preview is obviously there as you can see in the screenshot when I quick view, otherwise it just shows the AP icon, which is totally useless.

I've been asking for this for years. I keep hearing they are coming. I couldn't wait. I love AD, but without arrowheads, it's pretty much useless to me as a technical illustrator. There are workarounds, but the one I found easiest is to make my drawings in Vectorworks, which is my CAD app. Publisher is coming.... DAM is coming... In the meantime, I keep getting older and I have found other ways to do these things that I wish Affinity would do, but I can't wait years and years.
