Gigatronix Pete Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hello team I have recently uploaded the 1.8 updates & am working on a pc I have started a new doc & saved it, but when i then go into Document set up expecting to find dimensions i can change if required all i get is this! I'm sure there should be a dimensions box there? What am i doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Your topic says it's about Designer, but that Document Setup panel is from Publisher. Edit: Or, it's possibly from a .afpub document opened in Designer. In Publisher you change page dimensions using Spread Setup. Edit: If you opened a .afpub file in Designer, I don't think you can change the document dimensions; you'd have to change the dimensions of each page/spread individually, just as in Publisher. Can you confirm the version and application you're running? I've never seen the "Actual Size" Zoom field in Document Setup before. Edit: What you see in Document Setup in Designer is highly dependent on the document contents, and will be different if you have a canvas, or an artboard, or a Page.

Gigatronix Pete Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hello @walt.farrell @Patrick Connor Thanks for the replies chaps ...i did think that about publisher but I haven't used it at all ...i did create guides & locked them & then created an artboard, so i don't know if that confused things? When i tried to click on Spread set up everything froze ...i tried that twice & have decided to give up ...so i will just start again & delete the old files! The file was in pixels anyway Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
