  1. I have a bunch of artboards, all different proportions and sizes. They all have the same background image, but the image is manipulated differently on each artboard. How do I swap the background image for another one and retain all the original image manipulations in all the artboards and without having to copy and paste to each artboard individually? For example: Thanks!
  2. I created several document presets for specific document sizes I use often. All of them are set to "Create Artboard". When I go to File-New- I can see my list of personalized presets and select the one I want to work with. An artboard opens correctly. However, when I want to add a new artboard, I click on the New Artboard Tool and all I can add is the same size of artboard as the one already open. The dropdown menu under Artboard: Size: Document shows neither my presets nor any Print or Press Ready options, but all the others instead. I attempted changing the size in the Document Setup corresponding to the new Artboard, but the Page Preset is grayed and set to "Custom", so I cannot change the selection. The Dimensions sections are also grayed in the mentioned popup menu and the Transform menu as well. I wonder... Isn't there a place where I can select the size of a new artboard when adding a new one? If I have to manually insert its dimensions when it is a frequent size I use, it´s a waste of time. I should be able to access these presets from places other than the New Document. I have attempted the same steps both in AD 2.3.1 and also in 2.4.0.2222 (BETA), but the result is the same. I would appreciate any comment leading to solving this issue.

  3. Is there a way to handpick a certain artboard that is used as a thumbnail for the templates? I work with artboards... a lot. And the previews in the File=>New dialogue are really small.. -thx, Dave
  4. Do I make wrong way, or really cant handle Photoshop artboards any affinity product in 2023??? When I open a very simpe PSD file (it has 5 artobard and one-one image in it) only put the 5 images one huge artobard. Photo and Designer too.
  5. At 3:59 in this Designer video from Affinity, there are 2 dots in the lower right corner when resizing multiple Artboards. I can't seem to replicate this. Is there any setting not mentioned in video that needs to be enabled? Still frame: Thanks.
  6. A number of users have had the same problem I had with Pixel Persona when seeking to export multiple artboards at once. Each exported image was slightly out of line leaving a small gap on one or two sides of the image that had not been there previously. When zooming in within Pixel Persona, it became clear that the frame of each artboard/slice was slightly out of line with each artboard and could not be repositioned correctly since the frame jumps to the next pixel when it is moved within Pixel Persona. It's as if the artboard's frame had shifted to the nearest pixel. I came across a temporary solution: To align each artboard with one another so they are touching before converting the artboards to slices. However, this is not ideal for every project. Please ensure that the exact artboard area is converted into a slice irrespective of its position on the main document. Thanks! Asa.
  7. There are semi transparent borders arround any artboard. It's visible even after exporting to raster. It's visible on non-rasterised pdf as white line. I have printer with margins, so I can't check if it's visible after printing. I'm afraid that when I'm going to make printable things for clients, it's going to look like lack of extended layers to the bleed (which I've done.)
  8. I just recently switched to affinity designer. I'm loving everything so far. Except for the fact that it is so complicated to export multiple artboard. I have to make all this - time consuming stuff, like grouping all the contents of the artboard, and slice each artboard in order to export it individually. Such a frustrating process.
  9. Using the trash button on the left side or with a long press works correctly with artboards filled with content but doesn't work with empty ones. The only way to delete is through the layer menu.
  10. When I set margins for my document it works just fine right up until I convert my document into an artboard. Then when you drag the numbers up they snap right back to 0 and show no preview. Current workaround is to either create a completely new document and ban myself from clicking the artboard button or create manual margins using invisible boxes while crying softly.
  11. Hi All, I am working with multiple artboards; I moved some around, and now some of the artboards are blank, but the objects are still showing: I'm not sure what to do - the objects are checked. I've tried bringing to front - nothing happens. I double click on the object and it zooms in to a blank box with the lines around the object: I'm not sure what to do next. Thanks for any help! Brian
  12. Trying to create this very tiny sticker for a label. The sticker should be 0.7x0.1” tried creating an art board and separate document with those dimensions and as you can see they are clearly not the same but affinity is telling me they’re the same size. What’s the fix? IMG_0730.MOV
  13. Working with Web design i often need to eport several different png graphics ... i would like to know if there is a way to click/select an object to create atutomatically artboards or slices in the precise dimenson of the object/group, so when i export a PNG file the image does not leaves a gap or borders. Is there a way to do this?
  14. I have imported a Designer file (with two art-boards) into another designer file (all on iPad) but can not find a way to display the art-board I want. I thought it would be obvious but there seems to be no selection box anywhere. Is it even possible to do this? Can you specify which art-board to display on import somewhere/how? Why does the original file not update in the host file (resorted to duplicating the document and deleting other art-board) after editing? Simple feature just can’t see it anywhere.
  15. Hi all, our office switched from Adobe Illustrator to Affinity Designer recently. We have some questions about the layers and artboards function. 1. We struggle with the artboard function which is connected with layers. We need global layers with recurring elements (like logo, client, etc.) which we can switch on/off and lock easy on one layer and not individually on every single artboard. We suceeded in creating these global layers, but if you move the artboard these global layers are not moved with the artboard. Why??? 2. Every new element we create is automatically moved to the artboard on which the element is created instead of a defined global layer. So you have a lot of moving of elements afterwards... Is it possible to detach the artboard and layer function like in Illustrator??? Attached is a Screenshot with global layer (Ebenen) and the artboards. Thanks a lot and I hope someone can help!
  16. I am having difficulties trying to see if this is possible, so I am wanting to see if someone can help me. I am working on a design that requires duplicate of the same exact design on Affinity Designer. Is there a way to create a clone of an artboard and use it in a different artboard? The clone would be able to change whenever there is a change in the original artboard. For example, let say my design has 2 of the same exact coins and so I draw a coin and add it into a different artboard like a sticker. Later I realize I would like to change the design of the coin, so all I would have to do is change the original artboard and it will update it in my main design. Any help would be appreciated!
  17. Is there a way to export all artboards at once as INDIVIDUAL JPGs or PNGs without having to go back and re-export over and over for each artboard?
  18. I miss some features when creating icons for websites: Ability to set CSS classes or option to use the layer name as class instead of id Option to save SVGs with style attributes instead of inline CSS (then you don't have to use "!important" all over the place to change colors) Don't write a "rect" element in SVGs for the artboard if the artboard has no background color Option to automatically round artboard position and size because decimals led to weird problems for me in the past (like the exported file having the wrong size because the position was a decimal) Option to optimize SVGs. I use SVGO at the moment but it's not easy to set it up so that it preserves IDs or classes
  19. Hi everyone. For some reason, moving even a single artboard around with a couple of shapes and text layers in it is pretty slow and lags a lot. My system specs are the following: Intel Core i9-9900K, AMD RX 580 8GB, 32GB RAM, NVMe SSD 512GB, running macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and Affinity 1.10.1. Metal acceleration is fully supported and I’m getting good numbers in all kind of benchmarks and other apps, but artboards in Affinity Designer seem to be very slow for me. Tried all settings, Metal, OpenGL, OpenGL (Basic). Metal seems to be the fastest out of all (as it should be I suppose), but still not acceptably fast. It feels like 5-10 fps which is strange to me. Situation shown on video became even worse when moving group of artboards. I should mention that any other actions I do in Affinity Designer are remarkably fast and smooth (after many years of using Adobe apps). Color corrections, transforms, vector tools all of these are just flying. But artboards... Here’s a quick screen recording I made. You can also see detailed CPU and GPU load during performing this operation. I’m also attaching project file. Appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Artboards.mov Performance Analysis.afdesign
  20. I’ve encountered this multiple times when trying to group objects inside an art board. The only way I’ve been able to solve this is by moving them outside the art board before grouping. What’s going on?? iPad Pro 3rd gen 11in FullSizeRender.mov
  21. I have two artboards (one is a front cover and one a back cover) in an Affinity Designer file. I'm trying to place both of them separately in Affinity Publisher. Can this be done or do they need to be two separate AD files? Thanks
  22. I FOUND A SERIOUS COLOR MISMATCHING ISSUE WITH AFFINITY DESIGNER 1.9.2.1035 UTILIZING ARTBOARDS I discovered the craziest color mismatching in Affinity Designer v1.9.2.1035 today that really had me stumped. I have 3 or more files that essentially contain the same elements, colors, etc, other than some text and image variants using artboards. I noticed that one of my project files contained a much lighter orange background compared to the others. So I drew a square as a test and set the color to a picked color from the good project file (in a sister tab), and noticed that the square filled with the orange was much lighter than the deep orange in the color palette. Please see first screenshot. I then checked to make sure there was no effects, transparencies, or other modifiers changing the appearance and found none. I also checked if there were any artboard effects or modifiers and couldn't find any. I also checked the document settings under color and found no difference between this project and it's sisters. I then created a new artboard and instantly the background colors in the other artboards updated with the correct color. IT IS REPRODUCABLE RIGHT NOW WITHIN THE UNDO/REDO STACK What I find ironic is that I can actually undo the creation of the artboard and the color mismatching appears again. If I recreate the artboard the colors restore. The second screenshot shows a created artboard next to the SAME SQUARE. As you can see the orange changed to the correct color after creating the artboard next to it. The colors in the other content filled artboards were then restored to match the palette color tool. If I delete the newly created artboard that fixed the colors, then delete it, the colors remain fixed. I'm thinking there may be corruption in the project file, but haven't investigated. COLOR MISMATCHING CARRIES OUT THROUGH PDF EXPORT When exporting to PDF the mismatch colors carry into the PDF export document. WORKAROUND Create another artboard and then delete it. After saving, closing, and reloading, colors are ok. COLOR OK FOR PDF EXPORT AFTER WORKAROUND I just confirmed that after the workaround, saving, closing, then reloading document, that I was able to export to PDF and the colors were consistent this time. POSSIBLE CAUSES OR LINKS? Well there seems to be a setting in the Preferences where you can choose the gamma or color of the background when using artboards and I believe that somehow background setting is being applied to the contents within the artboards or even objects rooted outside any artboard tree which cause the mismatch. Let me know what you think guys. This is the first time to experience this, and I think it will be very unlikely to see this bug surface again. Thanks for looking this bug over.
  23. Some suggestions for Export features in coming updates. Apologies if they have been suggested already. Addition of Export all artboards option in Designer. Addition of option to edit resolution and save options of export when using slices in Designer Macros in Designer
  24. UPDATE: Using Windows Designer 1.9 on a capable laptop. I have a designer document whose page size is 8.5 x 11. The document has two groups of objects, each measuring 3.5 x 5". I want to convert each of these objects to its own artboard. So I choose the first group and with the Artboard tool, choose Selection and Insert Artboard in the context menu. Artboard1 is created with the group as expected. When I repeat this procedure with the second group, Artboard2 is double the width of the object (i.e., the size it would be with both objects) and covers both objects, although the group from Artboard1 in the layers palette is not part of this new artboard. I don't think this is expected behavior. Anyone else?
