Hi, Please see the video for a better description of what I mean. https://www.loom.com/share/9f45690b749843728a3584690db2ebdb Basically, I thought this was a bug a few years ago when I started using Affinity Designer and I posted on this forum but the response was that this is by design. But I've just done another book with tens and tens of characters. And it is SOO hard to change the stroke weight of all the characters because all the nested shapes are not affected. It is simply not feasible to go in to each instance of a character and drill down, change the lineweight of the nested shapes every time. Characters need to have variable line weights so that they can be placed in different scenes and make sure their line weights are appropriate for the context. And the reason that I nest shapes inside other shapes instead is for economical reason. For example, if I want to make slight adjustments to characters, in a turnaround for example, I can just move the internal shapes around to create a slightly different angle on the character, for example front, front 3/4 and side angles. Nesting shapes in their parent shapes means you don't have to mess around with masks. If the parent shape changes, you have to make sure that the mask is also changed. It would just be so much simpler, quicker and make production so much more efficient if nested shapes were able to have their stroke changed with the parent. PLEASE can you make a tick box or something to have stroke width affect all nested shapes, just like there is a tick box for 'Lock Children' when scaling I would be eternally grateful. Many thanks.

Hi, - I have an image that is set to 'floated with text' - The image had 9px of 'Distance From Text' on it's right side - Everything was fine, there was indeed 9px of gap between the right side of the image and the text. - I saved and reopened and there seems to be double the amount of gap. If I remove the 9px of gap initially put on the object, it appears correct again - This is the second time I have noticed this, the first time I not just remove the gap in the Distance From Text dialogue, and I'm left with the desired result. This seems buggy so I thought I'd report it. I'm using the latest version of Affinity Publisher (1.8.4) The element in question is the pink 'Step' tags however I don't seem to be able to upload my affinity publisher file. It is only 1.2mb, and I've removed any special characters from the file name, the error simply says '-200'... Any help getting this uploaded would be great. Many thanks.

Did a whole project and rely heavily on being able to select a group and change all the constituent layers fills in a single go, it's great. However, I've discovered that if I a pixel layer is present, a massive white square gets drawn instead. Take a look at the video: https://www.loom.com/share/f18d617e54b44c97b915a5ced16f8a8d It would be great if it just ignored the pixel layers (as they're mostly they're just as preliminary sketches) Let me know if this is a bug or intended functionality. Thanks.

I have a group containing artboards. If I make an artboard from a layer outside that group and then drag that artboard inside the group, everything works as expected. However, if the layer artwork is already inside the group containing the artboards and then I make an artboard from the selected layer, it goes a bit skew wiff - seems to make an artboard out of the whole group, rather than the selected layer...

Attached is 2 screen shots, one showing the editor and one showing the export: In the PDF export, the pig, which is vector, the colours appear the same. But the animal prints and bullet points, which are pixel data, are appearing darker. I don't know if this is just a coincidence but I suspect not. Document colour format: CMYK/8 Document colour profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 PDF Export: PDF (for print) and the colour space and profile are set to use the documents space and profile. Attached are the files and the export. This has been annoying me for a while so I'd love to get to the bottom of it. Many thanks. Richard pig.afdesign pig-export.pdf

Hi, I've already posted on this but thought I would again with confidence that I've not missed anything from the suggestions given last time. I also have updated to the latest beta since posting on this last, in which I seem to remember reading in the release notes there was a fix regarding the positioning of artboards (which was perhaps one of the problems last time) Anyway, as you can see in the video, I've got 4 icons, all sat on whole pixels and all whole pixels in width and height. But when I create slices out of them all, the slices all appear different sizes. And not just one pixel out in some cases (which would suggest a rounding error or hidden decimal places on the positioning or width and height) but 4px on one of the icons. It's very strange. Below is the video showing this as well as the file: https://www.loom.com/share/5a315b2305c54881903b0bd76224e637 SYL_assets_master2.afdesign
