Afterlame

Hi, I would love to have a feature that lets me export a pdf with several slices grouped into a multi-page pdf. --- Here is my usecase: I have recently corrected exams digitally using a graphics tablet. This is my current workflow: 1. Import all scanned pages from the exam to AD. Each page is an artboard 2. Correct every page of the exam with my graphics tablet 3. Select all pages that belong to a single student 4. Export as a multi-page pdf using "export as" 5. Repeat for every student (30 students – 4 pages each – 120 pages all-in-all) If I need to change something, I need to do step 3–5 all over again. My prefered workflow would look like this: 1. Import all scanned pages from the exam to AD. Each page is an artboard 2. Correct every page of the exam with my graphics tablet 3. Create slices for each artboard 4. Group slices that belong to a single student 5. Configure one multi-page pdf export per student 6. Hit export all This way, I could easily just reexport everything I have configured before. --- I have seen several topics in this forum that look for something similar (like the following), but I could not find a related feature-request, so here it is.

Thanks! :)

Steps to reproduce: Create an artboard with a size of 50 × 50px Set up an isometric grid with a size of 1px (any of the non-standard grids have this issue) Zoom into to fill the screen with the canvas The grid will fill the whole canvas because the lines do not get scaled down properly. Behavior: The grid lines do scale with the zoom. Expected behavior: The grid lines should not scale with the zoom. For visual reference, I attached a screenshot with a grid size of 2px.

Found it! :) It’s in the top bar. Sorry for bothering you. By the way: Your solution is way better.

Thanks, that was quick! :) But I think I did not phrase the question good enough. I don’t want to copy the artboard, I need to place it via File ▸ Place. Placing it is important, because I don’t need to worry about changing anything by mistake and scaling the whole document. In InDesign you can click on “Show import options”, while placing documents. From there you can choose a specify page. That is pretty much what I am looking for.

Is there a way to place a specific ArtBoard form another Affinity Designer file into my document? Currently I only get the first one.

Hi, first of all: thanks for getting the measurements to work with art boards! :) There is one thing that bugs me though: Measurements don’t work inside of groups: Put three elements in a group Select one of its children via double click Try to ⌘-Measure its distance to another child of the group Instead of measuring the distance between the two elements, it shows the distance to the group boundaries.

Hey MEB, thanks! Oh, I should have looked into the shortcuts. That makes things a lot easier. :)

New bugs Vector shape drawing uses the select cursor Vector shape drawing cursor keeps the last hovered (rotate / resize / move) after leaving the selected element Still there Measurements not working on artboard documents Crop opacity issue Nice to have Up and down arrow key support for opacity, font-size and line-height Is there a public bug tracker or a list, where we can see known bugs?

No problem, that’s what the beta is for. :) Currently I copy everything over to a non-artboard document, which is quite a pain, but still better than having no measurement guides at all. I hope this will be fixed soon.

Measurements (⌘ + hover over element) are not working in artboard documents. Has that just not been implemented, or is it a bug?
