And how are these PDFs combined into APu? Does someone manually place them in and apply APu formatting?

Hi all, I'm curious as to how everyone uses APu in their workflow when it comes to collaborative environments where you must work on a document with multiple persons. Right now, we all edit the same Word Doc document and then one person will place or copy the content of the entire document into APu and then apply all formatting. The annoying part is the handling of changes. Minor changes we edit directly in the APu doc, but with substantial changes we copy/paste the entire document again in APu. Apply or check the formatting again, etc etc. I want to improve this workflow, so I am wondering how everyone else use APu in their workflows.

+1 for live linking texts like in Word Docx, With M365, we collaborate in Words, either desktop app or web-browser synced to our OneDrive/Sharepoint. We would then take the final text and do the layout in APu. Would be nice if somehow the Words Heading and Styles can be mapped to APu Styles and have a live link, we can see a preview of the final document with all the proper formatting in APu as we are editing the Word Doc.

Hi, I stumbled upon a context menu in Designer that lets me convert a selected text to a field, like fields in Publisher. However, I cannot seem to find a menu where all these "fields" nor how to reuse fields. See attached for a screenshot of the context menu. Anybody knows a bit more about this field menu? Im running AD 2.5.2.

Hi, I'm working on a project now where I have multiple artboards for my needs. I name all my artboards, but to prevent duplicate names, I want to sort my artboards so I can see my named artboards better. How can I sort my artboards alphabetically in AD2?

Hi, I was wondering if there is scripting or macro support in AD2? ? At the moment, I use AHK to achieve some form of automation, but it's not always reliable. So I am wondering if there is scripting available in AD2 and if not, why not?

Ah, really? That's an intuitive mode one would normally expect to see. But thank you for the alternative solution.

Hi, Where can I find the "Preview" mode in Affinity Photo 2? I have language proofing on and my AP is set to English, but currently im working on a document with texts in another language. So now I have red wiggly lines underneath all my texts. Is there a preview mode I can switch to temporary to see my document without the distracting red wiggly lines all over?

Aha found it. Thanks!

Hi, Is there a way to turn on percentage scaling for scaling an image placed within a picture frame? Shift, Alt, Ctrl none of the modifiers seems to work. Very annoying when i just want to scale a tiny bit

Hi, I know the question of importing Rhino created Ai files into AD has been asked a few times already. The main goal is: Importing a vector export format (eg: AI, DWG, DXF, etc) which contains all layer information into AD. (PDF alas does not meet this goal) I figure, since we're on Rhino 6.21 and AD 1.7.3, there might be some added support between these two. So has there been any improvements on this particular part? If not, has anyone had any success on importing DWG with layer information into AD? I noticed this format is not supported on AD, is there a reason why?

Thanks! I was digging in the preferences menu....

Hi, Is it possible to enable the objects that are outside of the pages to show? (see attached image) Sometimes I would put all asset I might want to put into the final document, so I put them on the side first. Thanks.

I tried, it inverts all the colors to ONE color and it's not even the correct color. I think it may be a color in the opposite side of the color wheel... What I want is to Swap/exchange the colors of the stroke with the color of the fill. So, for example: Stroke color = cyan; Fill color = blue. swapping the two will become. Stroke = blue; Fill = cyan. When I press SHIFT + X, they just take ONE color. not individually.

AD shows a very strange stroke when stroke is disabled. When I import the same document to Illustrator, the weird stroke is gone. AI: Below is the exported PNG from AD and AI, zoomed to 100%. Resolution is 3k x 4k The issue here is that the PNG that i exported from AD shows a thick grey stroke ???? While AI shows a better representation of what I expect.
