Hey, Really like working with AD, at least when it doesn't crash. Which is does now, a lot - like every other minute. Seems mostly when dealing with artboards. Also, to make a crash more annoying, the studio hides and the tools "undock". To re-launch AD after a crash I have to: 1. Launch AD. This launch however, will freeze. 2. Force quit AD. 3. Re-launch AD. 4. Re-dock Tools. 5. Reset Studio. 6. Open the work file. 6. Create a new document and add any shape to the canvas. (This is the only way for the layers in the studio to actually appear.) 7. Close the new document. 8. Get back to work, until it crashes again. 9. Rinse and repeat from step 1. Needless to say, this is EXTREMELY frustrating and time consuming. I would have posted this under bugs, but seems you have closed that forum. Aanyway.... When I sufficiently zoom out, I would really like to see the overlapping artboard labels hidden. There is no point in showing something that looks like this (attached image):

Hello! Does anyone know that if it is possible to change the order of artboards when exporting to PDF(whole document)? By default it's ordered by time created. How can I change the order on my own? For example, I want to move the latest created Artboard3 to the first page of the document. I've tried and found that Layers order has nothing to do with this. In Adobe Illustrator there's a useful drag-and-drop panel for us to change the order of workspace. How can I do that in AD? Thanks for reading this, any comment would be appreciated :D :D -
Hiya, Is it possible to pass an image across two artboards? Say for example I wanted phototgraph continuation on the front and back cover of a book but not the spine. Martigny

Hello! 1. I don't see guides on Artboard. 2. Can you add in zoom menu: 50%, 30% or "custom zoom" (with shortcut) set by the user? Slawek -
First off - great product, thank you. I'm just doing my first project trying out the Windows Beta, having finally found what looks like a great alternative to Adobe Fireworks (at a significantly lower price!) My only niggle so far: it would be good if, having set a custom grid size on the first artboard, subsequent artboards picked that up as their default. I understand that you may wish to have different grids on different artboards, but if they defaulted to the same, that would be handy. Keep up the good work.

I tried to align 3 artboards like in the tutorial (around time 3:50): But in Win Beta 1.5.0.5 it won't snap for me. I try to follow the same procedure: add 3 artboards manually arrange them next to each other with some space between them in the layerview select all 3 with shift follow the steps like in the video: click arrange --> align top click arrange --> space horizontally --> deselect auto distribute --> leave default 0 mm --> click OK nothing happens -
Although when on the printing dialogue you get proper artboard names for selection, on the export dialogue you get 'artboard 1', 'artboard 2', etc. this can be potentially confusing. Is it a bug?

Hi there, I was wondering if it is possible to setup multiple artboards, and have some for print (CMYK and inches) and some for screen (RGB and pixels) Thanks -
New user to Affinity Designer here! When I open .ai files in AD, is there a way for the program to "gather" the pieces of art that were created outside of the artboard? -
Do you have a plan to improve Artboard guides for universal workspace?(can see my attached file) I think this way is easier to create UI design, brochure and etc. On the current version is really awkward and rarely to use but It's better than nothings, however I can use copying an object from an Artboard and paste to other Artboards with the same position instead of making some guides ;). Cheers.

I've tried the "Scale with Object" option, but it can work only grouped elements. Can It work with Artboard? Please help.

Is there a way to change the artboard size after it has been created? I currently have an artboard that is bigger than the selection I have- which I know I can create a new one based on selection but I would rather just change the original artboard to selected size than create a new one and delete the unwanted size. -
Hey guys! Im setting up my document for wallpaper creation - (sidenote) I think we need all apple devices in, not just mobile. It would be nice to have iMac 5K, iMac 4K, 15" MBP Retina as options and iPad Pro 9.7 Anyways. When I did Device>iPad Pro>Insert Artboard - It gave a resolution higher than 5K Same goes for iPhone 6 Plus, 6, and 5 It would be nice to get the exact resolution that the website details. Is this a bug, or is there a reason Im not figuring out? -
Hello everybody, I've bought Affinity designer to set up Artboards for webdesign. Right now I am working on an administrator dashboard for a SAAS application. I have a few artboards. To name a few: - Favicon artboard - Logo artboard - Background image artboard - Dashboard homepage design artboard. It would be nice if we could use artboards in other artboards, like a portal. Right now I am editting my logo in the logo artboard and then copy the logo over to the dashboard artboard. It would be nice if I could put a reference to the logo artboard in the dashboard artboard, so that changes made to the logo artboard would instantly appear in the dashboard artboard. Best regards. -
Dear all, pleeeeaaaase help. I have finally finished the design for my leaflets that should already have been printed days ago. Now I exported the artboards to pdf documents and printed them out. Unfortunately the printout differs from the pdf in case of the front side (the one with the blue soabpox running down the hill) where the text area's background is printed out in plain white instead of a text area with a background. :( Then for the other side, the pdf differs from the artboards in Designer, as you can see on the second screen print attached. :wacko: Slowly but surely I am getting in big trouble and badly want to finish this part of the project. Of course, this is all voluntary and free time work, but nevertheless, we have to spread the leaflets now. So any hint would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much! :unsure:

Dear all, I created a workspace with different artboards, choosing 300dpi for printing. One artboard shows a poster, another one the draft for a folder, but some other ones will be used for web, as a facebook header and as profile picture for example. As I do not need 300dpi for web graphics, I am wondering how I have to combine these artboards. Or should I create separate workspaces for print and web? I'd love to have everything on one workspace, as it makes copying and moving the elements from one artboard to another so comfortable and easy. As you can see, the facebook header is much to big, as I only used the dimensions but not the actual resolution for a header. The background for the website does have the correct size but does still have 300dpi. Plus, when exporting the website background as a jpg, it turns into extremely light neon colors... might that have something to do with the export? As I have to create and finish a six paged folder today, (as in the Beetle Builder example on Vimeo), any information on how to use / combine artboards for web and print would be highly highly highly recommended! Thank you very very much! :-)

This may be simple, and I've just missed it, but I can't seem to make it work. If for instance I have several artboards side by side and one background image spanning the width of all the artboards, it seems like I can only make the background image part of one artboard or none. Placing the image below all artboards in the layers panel, while visible, makes it appear in no artboards on export. Is duplicating the image into each artboard the ony option? -
Hi! I usually use AI and in there, I can choose "match artboard to art dimensions" and it will change the size of the board I am working on to exactly what I've created. This is helpful in letting me see all of what I have created (I often copy paste/reflect objects to make patterns) on white or on a specific color. So, I have two questions: 1. how to i get things that are off the current document size to be visible, even if they are off document and 2. how do i match the document size to the selected art? Thanks for your help! Colette -
Hi there, I want to create a logo and insert this within multiple other artboards. Is it possible to do so without having to copy it every time the "master"-logo is changed? regards :) -
Hi all. Can someone enlighten us as to why artboards are hidden under the so-called Move tool? There is absolutely no way I would guess that I needed to dig through a secondary menu on a selection tool to alter my document's structure. I would expect to find this function under the Layer or Edit menu. Not only is this implementation obscure, but it defies the expected sequence of events: Opt to make a new artboard, specify its properties in a dialog, and then confirm. Instead, we have an entire "artboard" tool that hangs around and presents a toolbar with those properties instead. Maybe I'm not familiar with how people typically use artboards: Are they really pressing "Insert artboard" over and over in a rapid-fire fashion, to create lots of identical artboards? Because that's the only use case where this toolbar seems to make sense. And once you're done making an artboard, you're left without a selection tool... until you go back to the palette and switch out of "artboard tool mode" and go back to the selection (misnamed "Move") tool. Every time. Which of the following is more common: 1. Creating an artboard and then going back to work with another tool? 2. Creating lots of artboards in a row (which don't depend on selected objects)? If the answer is 1, the current design makes no sense. On a tangential point: The "hand" tool is called "Move" in every other application in which I've seen it, on any platform. The "arrow" tool is Select (because that is its primary function), in every other application. And they work the same as they do here. Is this a language issue? Thanks for any insight! -

First of all, great updates supporting artboards. Although, it was hard to find where the artboard button/menu is w/o searching for this forum. I totally agree this thread about the artboard menu position. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/15714-thank-you-for-the-artboards-feature-but-can-i-say-something-about-it-as-well/ Back to my topic: After creating an artboard and put layers inside of it, I decided to change the size of the artboard. What happened is all layers dimension inside of the artboard also changes accordingly; text layers get squished and shapes also changing. Suggestion: Move artboard with all sub layers altogether. Resizing artboard should not affect dimensions of child layers. What do you think?

¿Is it possible to create a new document with an artboard, make the work, and then disable the artboard to get back to the simple page mode, not losing the work? The reason to this is that it might be desirable to make a design using the pasteboard feature an artboard offers, but at the end export it with bleeding, wich currently does not work with artboards. Thanks! By the way, i find the way you're thinking the artboard subject really great. Regards; Val -
It would be handy to not only see the first artboard in quicklook but all of the artboards in that file.

When I start a new document, the artboard is centred in the middle of the screen, if I accidently scroll off screen, it won't come back, it just keeps snapping back off the screen.
