Similar request has been made for Designer1, but got ignored forever. So basically the request is to be able to insert artboard with a manually defined size (currently just a list of phone screen size). It would be great if there are also commonly used size like A4 / US letter. Better if one can user define it (like 4''x6'').

This has been problem since 2016: Please implement this feature. Luckily I only have 6 artboard to re-arrange. But it's such simple feature that many have requested.

I also just writing here to support several replies above. Having the artboard exported is very unintuitive. There should be at least an option to export in reverse order. Saying this due to the programming is just lame. Word start with page1 by default even if I am pretty sure the underline code count starting at 0. This is a UX problem, not a programing problem. I am very disappointed this has been an issue for 7 years! without any improvement from the developer team, even at version 2!

I second to this. I have figures imported in the PDF format, and depends on the software that generated the PDF (in my case is the R-ggplot2 package), some time texts comes in "Framed text" (like, a hundred of them), but I would prefer to use "Artistic text".

Oh Thanks a lot!

I second (or third?) this feature request! The method mentioned below isn't a real alternative to what the OP (and myself) really required. I believe what this does is to develop first and then apply adjustments on the developed file (presumably only 8-bit). On the other hand, developing persona does use the higher bit info (10/12/14 depends on your camera manufacture) in raw files. This will results in significant difference if one need to adjust aggressively. Here is a demo attached: the first picture is process in batch with a macro (+3EV and some denoise tweak). For the 2nd picture, the same tweak is applied in develop persona. I intentionally used a way underexposed photo to exaggerate this (note the bright spot in the sky is moon). But you can see the difference is non-trivial

Till very recently I thought curve has to be a connected line (either two or zero end points). However, I have seen this (see attached screenshot and file) now: a single curve that has multiple, separated lines. Each has their own start and end lines. This is generated from matplotlib, a python plotting package popular among statistician. I saved figure as SVG in matplotlib and open with designer, and got this as part of the axis. I think I can achieve similar things with matlab. Note, this is not achieved by "grouping". So my questions are: What are they? Can I create them in designer myself, or it can only be created by other software? How can I edit this? I realized I could move nodes around and create new ones inside one of the lines, but not creating new nodes outside it. untitled.afdesign

Hi there I am wondering if there is any updates on this issue? I have the same problem. What I have observed is the develop persona is mostly very good but batch is terrible. Why can't just run develop in batch? I don't care if it take 20 second to develop one in batch, comparing to manually develop all of them (which is almost impossible). That should be hard from a programming point of view right? I agree with @Darthvirc, though i am just a amateur.

Thanks for @Joachim_L the SVG file. It worked. @DWright, I kinda figured it out, and it's a font issue. In word there is a "Normal text" function that allows you to use non-math text in equations. If that is enabled, affinity designer will just import fine, but the equation look less "math". Not sure what changed with that function. BTW i don't know why you saw Calibri. It was Cambria Math from my side in the PDF I uploaded.

Hi I was trying to import a math equation from PDF, which I made with MS word (see attachment). And it ends up in all question marks. Did i messed up some setting? or it's a know problem form pdf/word? MM_Equa2.pdf

I guess my problem with the "styles" are that, if I set a style (say "main text") on a block of text, and then stretching it. It become "main text +" and no longer governed by the "main text" style. I have to later select every text block and change them back to "main text" style. Maybe I missed something here...

Greetings I am wondering if there is a way to keep font size when doing transforms (shrinking, stretching...). I am trying to keep the whole documents with the same font size, but need to resizing some of the groups frequently to arrange things. I know it may looks wired if some of the text don't resize as other components, but I can adjust them later, still better than I have to fix every text one by one. As in most cases, they looks fine actually. Thanks!

Same here. Really hope it got patch soon. Tried to copy a entire artboard to a new document, does not solve the problem... and tried around with opening it in affinity photos, no luck again...
