Oh I see! Thanks for pointing this out, I do have an invisible colour which I select from time to time, perhaps it still remembers this when I move on to change the colour. I'll keep a look out for this.
Thanks!

Hi thanks for the reply. I see it doing it in yours but it doesn't do it in mine. Well, more accurately 90% of the time it doesn't do it, but now and again it will, and I have no idea why.
Currently it won't do it, so here is a video showing you what it does. I'm working in the design perspective with the brush tool selected if this helps.

It's hard to show a clear video of the issue so I will try to explain.
The line and fill colours - when you select a swatch colour, even if line is at the forefront over fill, it won't take the swatch. Only fill will take it when it is at the front and then you have to switch the fill and line colours so that the line has the desired colour.
It's been annoying me for a while and I was wondering if this is a bug or intended functionality? Hopefully the former!
Thanks

Brilliant, though how strange. Thank you!

Can anyone reproduce this?

Hi, any raster images in my file won't move....
Please see the screen recording: https://www.loom.com/share/dd8a54a453bc47028154aaf198c5f411
I've attached the file, it's pretty big with a few artboards in it.
Any help appreciated.

Hi thank you for your response. I'm not sure this addresses the issue I'm seeing though..
-
...but yet in another file, where the adjusment layer is just at the top of the stack it exports fine....
-
I've done a bit more experimenting and it seems that if the adjustment layer is set as a mask on the layer, it exports the bleed fine.
But if its just like a normal layer with in a group or artboard e.g at the top of a stack, it doesn't export the bleed...
-
Please see the video to see a recreation of the problem. Basically when the levels adjustment layer is turned off, the bleed area exports as expected; when the levels adjustment layer is turned on, the bleed area only exports as white. It's very strange.

I've attached the file but I've noticed it happening in other files too.

Using the latest beta: 1.7.0.9 -
Actually never mind, it had an FX drop shadow on it which I didn't see..... Anyway to delete this post?

Hi, using the latest version of beta 1.7.0.8.
Basically I have some artwork I want to slice and export, exactly 800x450px and is also positioned in the x and y on whole pixels. But the slice is adding 8px top and bottom.
Please see the video:

It is a known bug, that bleed is failing to export (and be visible) when used in conjunction with artboards
Ah, this is good to know. I suppose it is an intermittent thing though as in my other project (using the same beta software) this problem with artboards and bleeds is not an issue.
And thanks Mark for your detailed exploration of this issue!

Trying to export a print PDF: File > Export > PDF (for print)
I'm working in AD 1.7 beta for another project and tested this multiple times in that document and it prints the bleed area fine.
But on this document, it's just giving me white around the edge even though a 3mm bleed is specified on each edge.
Not sure if this is a bug or me being a doofus and blindly overlooking an obvious option?!
Any help would be great, thanks.

Can I send my file privately for this to be looked at?
I've just created another artboard (CMD + J'd the previous one, making a document of only 6 in total) but simply cannot draw anything on a pixel layer (if I make massive swings of a brush stroke sometimes it registers, and I can pull that drawing on to my board and continue drawing but still, it still has that initial bounding box cut off on the right hand edge.
It's so bad now I've had to resort back to drawing in Photoshop and then bringing in the drawing to be inked in Affinity D...
Thanks

No problem, after using Adobe suite for over 10 years (Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) I can see the potential of this software is immense so I really want it to be a success. Currently a bit buggy but when it's all ironed out it's gonna blow Adobe out of the water.
Just please never move to a subscription model....! You could afford to increase the price of the software too to pay for updates, I would have gladly paid double for what we get.
(Probably a more appropriate place to post these sentiments but hey ho...)

In my document, at first the pencil tool took about a minute to render what it was drawing, I thought it had crashed. Now it seems to have sorted itself and draws in real time but still strips out the fill when drawing. Doesn't matter if a stroke is selected as well or not, it always strips out the fill. I only want to draw with a fill so this seems buggy. As the video shows this also happens in a new document.
-
I work in many, many layered documents, even within groups there are so many curve layers that make up objects. Having new vector layers added to the top of the stack inhibits flow as I have to drag it down everytime to where I want it. New drawing layers are added above the current layer so please could this happen for vector layers?
Thanks.

Thanks, these have been sent.

Hi,
Attached are the brushes I'm using. Also, I can't recreate this behaviour in a new document. This document was initially a 1.6.5 document which for various reasons I'm now working on in the 1.7 beta. I can send the file as well if you'd like. Let me know as would like to send privately.
Thanks
EDIT: Actually - could I send the brushes to you privately?

As the title says, when I draw the first stroke with the stroke stabliser on without any layers selected, the first stroke is incredibly slow to draw. But then it's ok. It's a v odd one... again if you need the file please allow me to send it privately. Thanks.

In Pixel mode, when designing in the grey area around an artboard (regardless of whether the artwork is nested in an artboard or not), Rectangle marquee tool, Freehand selection tool and Flood fill tools do not work (not many other tools do either). Move the artwork above an artboard (again, regardless of whether it is nested within an artboard or not) and the tools work as expected. (Almost, the freehand selection tool, when nudging the selection, the artwork disappears....)
Again, any questions or if you would like the file, please could I send it privately. Many thanks.
Richard.

The title and the vid explains it all really. Let me know if you have any questions or need me to send the file (would like to send privately if so)
Many thanks,

Slices don't fit correctly
in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
Posted · Edited by rnbutler87
Hi, I'm finding that slices don't fit correctly. I've ensured that the artboard is sized to whole pixels and the artwork is whole pixels. But when creating a slice, it doesn't line up. See the video:
https://www.loom.com/share/3e052617227d450997ab1b6dce989fea
Any help greatly appreciated.
PS, I've found this happens quite a lot when making slices. Often I can get around it by just making the slice a bit bigger. But for items I want consistent sizing and positioning across similar icons for example, it's frustrating.
