JCD2016 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Using the artboard tool, the changes you make cannot be undone. You'll need to close the document without saving, and start over. The undo function does work, but leaves you with a messed up document. goes for imported files like PDF, but also native afdesigner files.

Staff Sean P Posted March 6, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi JCD2016, I've reproduced an issue that drawing out a new artboard over a document with existing objects can cause them to get shifted around which then cannot be undone. This is already with our development team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 14, 2020 We have made fixes/improvements to this area ( artboard undo problem ) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below. The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts. Affinity Designer 1.8.1.611 for Windows Affinity Designer 1.8.2.4 for Mac These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version. Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.1/1.8.2 update/patch to all customers.

SpacemanJupiter Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'm new to Affinity Designer and was trying to find a way to crop canvas. I applied the artboard as a method and totally freaked out because I couldn't undo it, and it had shifted things around. It wasn't much work to simply shut down without saving and recreate a few steps of work but I'm really glad this is being worked on.

Megnusin Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'm also experiencing this issue in Affinity Designer for MacOS. The undo stack doesn't include any effects the Artboard Tool has had. you can delete the artboard it's created in the layers view, but you can't get the original canvas back. You can undo and redo to get the original position of the objects back, however. I'm on version 1.8.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmrecs01 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 @Megnusin You've posted to the "Designer Bugs found on Windows" forum. Clearly, it is at least a similar bug to the subject of this thread but really ought to be posted to the relevant Mac forum area. Perhaps a moderator will see you post and move it to the "Designer Bugs found on Mac".

This was fixed in 1.8.2 for macOS, so will no longer be an issue if you update to the latest version (1.8.3), available in your account here.
