GRAFKOM

You are not the first person to ask for it. According to me, Serif should first try to refine the programs so that everything works and not only a bit works, and then it can take on more complicated functions. On a daily basis I work professionally on the Designer program, there are many functions that speed up the work, but also many things that are underdeveloped, which slow down the design. Really if you spend around 10 hours at work with the Designer program, it is just shortcomings that cause frustration. I am happy with everything from Affinity but I would like it to be even better.

I work in a graphic company on a daily basis. Such large bleeds need, for example, when printing images on canvas (printed 5 cm drop is rolled under the bottom of the wooden frame on which the canvas is stretched, the side of the printed image is visible from the side) or for printing on the self-adhesive information boards (foil with a print drop of about 4 cm it is rolled under the bottom of the sheet). Thus, the bleed does not have to be only 2 or 3 mm, it can also be 3cm or more. And the Publisher makes an error when displaying these bleeds, because they overlap each other by covering the adjacent pages. Of course, I can do as Paul EC suggests, only then why are there bleeds? Most of the projects I do in CorelDraw and in Affinity Designer, when opening an Affinity file in which there are bleeds on Artboards in the Publisher also incorrectly display falls on overlapping. I use Google translator, so something can be twisted.

If large bleeds are set, for example, around the A4 card, 5 cm, the falls overlap on the following pages. Sometimes there is a need to create such large bleeds, but they are displayed so that you can not design freely. In my opinion, subsequent pages with such large bleeds should automatically move away from each other so that the bleeds do not overlap.

This worked in the earlier version of Beta, actually in version 1.7.0.227, the bleeds from the Designer file are not displayed.

I demand this function (identically as in CorelDraw): double-clicking a rectangle icon creates a new rectangle around the selected work area with identical dimensions as this work area. On the other hand, double clicking the rectangle + Shift icon creates a rectangle around the bleed of the selected workspace. It would be very fast it's a workflow. At the moment I have to manually create a rectangle with the appropriate size of the workspace, which is very tedious if such work is done hundreds of times a day while working on the Affinity Designer program.

Thanks for explanation. We are waiting for the next beta version, we hope that these amendments will be introduced.

We have informed about this mistake from the very beginning of the Affinity Designer creation, so far it has not been repaired. In version 1.6 of the original and version 1.7.0.209 Beta inclusive.

Hi Sean P 1. After creating workspaces, items placed in bleeds are not displayed, even though the bleeds are running. (photo 4). However, when a new document is drawn, although the bleed option is selected, the elements are also not visible at the bleed location. You have to enter the View in the menu, deselect Show Bleed and check Show Bleed again, and then you will only see the elements in the place of the bleed. (Foto3). At Affinity Publisher, the bleeding works well. 2. Exactly Yes. 3. Keyboard shortcuts from version 1.6 Beta do not work in version 1.7 Beta. 4. Exactly Yes. Foto3 Foto4.

I hope that before the final issue of 1.7 Serif will make the spills in Affinity Designer work properly in Artboards, the guides will be able to pull out the lines using other tools, not just arrows, and the keyboard shortcuts from version 1.6 should work correctly (and unfortunately not works in version 1.7), not to mention the ends of the line (where these arrows?)

OK. I only mentioned those errors which were not further improved in this version. The others have been corrected and thank you very much for that. Regarding copied layer effects: I copy the shadow effect from rectangle No. 1 and paste the shadow effect into the remaining rectangles, I expected the same shadow parameters and yet it turns out that they are different.

1. There is no bleeding in Artboards mode !!! 2. Do not pull the guides using tools other than the arrow 3. There is no Preview Mode preview button (as in Publisher) 4. You can not choose a new artboards mode for popular paper formats, for example A4, A3, A5 etc. !!!! 5. You can not set different bleeds on different Artboards in one document !!! 6. Does not import keyboard shortcuts from beta 1.6.5 !!!!! 7. Do not paste correctly copied Layer FX style effects !!!

You can not set different bleeds on different Artboards in one document !!!

You can not create a keyboard shortcut for the colour picker tool in this version. In other Affinity programs, this can be done.

I've already written about it, but nobody from the Serif company read this article.
