No mather what export settings, bleed area of an artboard is white instead of continuous design.

Agree with the views of rubs. For illustration workers, slight movements are difficult to observe and do not cause major problems. However, for UI designers, a small amount of error can have catastrophic consequences, such as incorrect size of the slices, alignment problems, and so on.
As a UI designer who uses Affinity Designer heavily, I have been forced to develop the habit of constantly alerting the size and position of objects, and I am very careful about every mouse click, because the mouse is too sensitive.
The problem of slight movements was raised a few years ago, and it did improve in later versions, but as rubs said, it has not been fully resolved. Long-running Affinity Designer will slow down, and the probability of a light-shift problem will increase dramatically.
The project I am working on now, is UI design and the mouse click problem is a nightmare. I experience many real move transforms of an element caused by single click on it. The movement seems to be in the direction center-of-element > cursor and sometimes it is a few pixels. It can be also replicated (undo and carefull click again - the movement is the same).
I have to mention that I have pixel alignment constantly off.
It is sligthly another story, but AD seems horribly inaccurate. E.g. say I have some text aligned to left and its left X position is 100 px. When I rewrite the text, the X position changes e.g. to 101,4 px or 98,5 px. Maybe it is caused by some font properties, but how can I design UI accurately? How can I find the intended position (100 px) when I return to the project after a month when I do frontend coding? Together with unintended transfers on mouse click, I cannot recommend AD for accurate design anymore. Or I simply dont know how to use AD well.

Please remove last two posts and this one - switched to wrong topic.

What about pixel size of the document? Can it be related to the issue? The file is a mobile app design and it has about 100 artboards and the dimensions are 51000 x 22000 px.
I think that the issue occured from the start, but I cannot say for sure. Maybe I can try edit the file in AD on Computer ONE that has not the issue.
I forgot. NO, the issue occurs also with the new simple file only with one element as seen on the video.

Yes, Sean, I switched on Computer TWO to Genius Wired Mouse and the issue is still occuring. Before I switched, I tried the both drivers for Microsoft Wireless Mouse - defalut drivers that came with Windows and MS dedicated drivers (exactly as from your link).
To be honest, I cannot analyze in my mind what configuration can cause the issue (and I am good in analyzing, it is half of my job). Evidently, mouse drivers and whole new PC dont influence it.
Last weeks, the issue occurs only on PCs (TWO and THREE) that has Win 10 Enterprise and are totally offline, but I cannot imagine how this could cause the issue.
(Today, I experienced also real transfer of element on simple mouse click. I have set 1 decimal place for px, work in px and the position was rounded from say 123,6 to 124 px on both axes.)

Not only problem with position X, Y? Or size?
No, only blank Layer with no elements in AD.

Hello. I tried with 6 decimal places and no actual transform. (I think that I had problems with actual transorms months ago, but I cannot replicate it now).
I targeted on this issue and found this:
- Computer (lets name it) ONE: issue is not present. It is a very old computer, but with newest Windows 10 64b and newest AD beta. Old cheap mouse.
- Computer TWO: This is the PC where the issue occurs. It has Microsoft Wireless Mouse 2000 with Win10 standard drivers. This PC has Windows 10 Enterprise 64b v 1803 and is completely offline (never online). The issue was the same with previous Windows build and with mouse changed to a simple cheap Genius wire mouse.
- A week ago, I completely changed from PC TWO to a new clean PC THREE. Newer hardware, but the same OS and offline also. The same mouses again. Completely new AD installation - unfortunately the issue IS also here.

Hello,
I downloaded a wonderful Media Militia Line Art Pack Vol2 https://mediamilitia.com/line-art-pack-volume-2-104-brushes-vectors/
but when I try to open EPSs in AD (last beta 1.7.0.243 - I do not install older stable versions), EPSs seems blank. But they are NOT: Try to convert them in https://convertio.co to svg and you can see.
It is possible, that old EPSs in this pack are technically wrong, BUT AD could try to restore and open them. Or maybe there is a bug in AD EPS import module.

Hello,
I tried to record the screen. I simply clicked on a rectangle (no group). When you look on history panel, you can see two steps with one click (and NO mouse movement): Set current selection and transfer. When the rectangle is selected, only transfer occurs (but without a reason).
During this demo record, no actual transformation was made. The rectangle stayed on its place. BUT, when I work faster on a bigger project, elements are moved during non intended transfer command.
So what my workflow looks like? I always watch History panel and go a step back again and again.

Hi Sean,
OK, I will try when I have time at work. Do you know about some good free screen recorder that visualises mouse click?
I realize that the the problem happens the most during doubleclick when I want to get into the group. But it can be because I heavily use groups. The unintended moves are ~0.1-0.5 mm.
I also think that is not caused by my hands - my hand are still not shaking :)

I have problems with mouse sensitivity all the time:
I want only select an element but I usually move (transform) this element uninentionally by some tiny distance as well. I must check the history every time and often go back and select the element again very very carefully.
Is it possible to add the setttings of mouse sensitivity (probably in a form of a treshold) for moving elements?
I don't remember when this beahviour occured at first (but I think with 1.7) but I remember that I didn't have this problem ~6 months ago and earlier.
I use latest Windows with latest mouse drivers. I tried more mouses and the behaviour is the same. My settings of mouse sensitivity in Windows is pretty low, so definitely it is not a problem of over-sensitive settings in Windows.

AD doesn't show selected item in a view as selected (no handles etc.)
-
AD crashes without a warning in Export persona:
- sometimes when I want to select a few slices with Shift key
- when I want change Export Options for more selected slices
(latest Win10, old hardware)

I'm pretty sure that Layer Effects have always been rasterised when making a PDF. They are continuous tone images so they can't really be anything else.
I agree that the effect itself have probably always been rasterised when making a PDF. But the layer (or group) that the effect is applied to should not be rasterised, but is. I really think that it worked a few months ago.
-
Hello. Layer Effects (at least Outer Shadow) make this layer and effect rasterised in exported PDF. I think that a few versions ago, export worked well.
Of course, I have advanced features allowed.

Hello.
I would love to see this feature in Designer:
When printing or exporting - ability to set up N copies to print/export on a page.
For example:
I prepare a business card.
I would like to print 15 business cards / A4 page.
So I set up 5 rows and 3 columns, select whether business cards will resize, define gaps, cutting marks...
I used Corel Draw years ago and it is a feature I LOVED. Very simple and automatic. When I change the design, it is so simply to print it again!
With Designer, I must mess with artboards, multiple copies, arrange... And when I change anything, I must copy again...
Thanks,
Tomas

Hello.
Do you plan to add DXF and/or DWG export option? I need it for exporting logos to AutoCAD drawings as curves. Older AutoCADs (and probably some other CAD software) cannot import SVG, PDF etc. I exported as DXF from Corel years and years ago :).
Thank you.
AD [1.7.0.258] - artboards - bleed area is blank on export
in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on Windows threads

Yes I know. It is not the problem. The problem is that the bleed area is exported, but not as a design, but as a white color.

(Of course, the blue rectangle goes behind the crop marks in the design)
