Bludocs Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hello to all the team. I did the update yesterday and since the grid no longer appears when it is less than 4px. I hope you can quickly correct this problem. Thank you very much for your work. Best regards, Bludocs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 With such a small grid size you won’t see the grid unless you are zoomed in quite a long way. This is to stop the grid from obscuring the whole canvas and is expected behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludocs Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi GarryP, even when zooming in more 5000%, the grid does not appear. It worked with the previous version (1.7.5) and works on my ipad pro also in version 1.7.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 As with BofG above, I can see a 1-pixel grid just fine with Designer 1.8.0.585 on Windows. Unfortunately, for some reason, I can’t seem to attach an image to show you as proof. Would you be able to attach your document so we can check it?

Bludocs Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ok, here 2 screenshots from Affinity Designer on my Mac OS (10.15.3) 1) with a 4px grid 2) and with less than 4px. Is there a way to get install the previous version of AD (1.7.5), this really help me. Thank you for your understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bludocs Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi BofG, you give the link for Affinity Publisher, not Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ah, yeah, unfortunately there may be a problem with uploading - at least for some people, including me - at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 1px grids show up in the latest Designer beta1.8.2 release. This release should be considered as a stable update to the current retail version. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/108752-affinity-designer-customer-beta-1820/ Quote macOS 10.15.7 | 15" Macbook Pro, 2017 | 4 Core i7 3.1GHz CPU | Radeon Pro 555 2GB GPU + Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 1.536GB | 16GB RAM | Wacom Intuos4 M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludocs Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi markw, No, it still doesn't work Mac OS. When the division is 1px with a spacing of 1px, the grid is no longer displayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 It's working for me here on my Mac. I would normally attach a screenshot now to show it working but every time I try I get a -200 error, whatever that is?

How far I have to zoom in for the grid to appear depends on the canvas size but for example in a 1000 x 1000 px canvas, 300% or so zoom shows the grid.

JimboJones Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I have the same issue on Mac, Catalina, running Designer 1.8.1. I can't see any grid smaller than 4 px. Also, the automatic grid disappears when zooming in. Makes the grid quite useless if you want to achieve pixel perfect work. UPDATE: Looking into the bugs board I see developers are already aware of … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the latest beta 1.8.2. It's recommended as a stable update to the current retail version. Dose that work any better for you?

Staff Sean P Posted March 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi Bludocs, This is something that we're aware of and with development to be fixed. I'll get it bumped with your comments. Thanks for letting us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryG Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Hey, I'm Having a similar issue with grids. It seems that certain intervals of spacing / divisions just "Loop" or repeat or reset so to speak. I tried to send pics for an example here, but I'm getting the same problem as everyone else. For example : I can't get any divisions to show in a 1mm space grid. I can get 2 divisions to show in 2mm space, but if I go to 3 divisions it disappears... 4 divisions looks just like 2 divisions... then 5 disappears again, and so on. I get in loops like this with all spacings, but the intervals of divisions are just different. If I have 4mm spacing I can get up to 5 divisions, but then at 6 it goes back to looking like 3... then it just loops the higher I go. Is this similar to what you are seeing Bludocs? Or anyone else? I was using version 1.8.2 and just moved to 1.8.3 and both are doing this.

Staff MEB Posted May 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi iriskin, Welcome to Affinity Forums Go to menu Affinity Designer > Preferences, Performance section and check if you have the Display dropdown set to OpenGL. If so change it to Metal and restart the app. Try setting the grid again. hannah, iriskin, frankyhung93 and 1 other 2 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
