get in shape Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi, I have multiple artboards with the same layout but with different text and images. Now I want to change something in the design by moving or replacing some curves and shapes. Can I do this simultaneously on all Artboards? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I suggest you look into Symbols in Designer, or Master Pages in Publisher. Either of these will help, but do require some planning ahead.

get in shape Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm looking more for a Master Page solution as in Publisher. But I'm also fine with a way where I can select all Artboards and then move curves to another position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no Master Pages in Designer, and no functions that let you operate on objects on all Artboards. You could open your project in Publisher, and let it convert the Artboards to Spreads. Then put the copy the common content from one page and add it to a Master Page. Delete the content from all the other pages. Then apply the Master Page to all the pages. Then move the content on the Master Page. That way, if you find the need to move things again in the future, you're setup to allow it.

get in shape Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Thank you for the tips. Maybe I'll will do that next time but for now it's sounds like too much work to do some small changes. For now I will do my changes per Artboard or select all layers I want to change while holding CTRL within each Artboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subetha Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 How about placing/linking the basic layout elements as a separate file/object into your pages? If you change the embedded object, all the pages will change correspondingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
