Samuli Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 If I create two artboards A and B and add artboard column guides to B, those guides do not show up when I drag in an object from artboard A to B until I deselect the dragged object and then reselect it. This makes placing the object accurately more difficult and is an unnecessary step that you have to repeat every time you drag in objects, which is a lot. Ideally, the guides should show up immediately when you drag an object into the artboard's space. MacOS 10.11.6, Mac Pro 3.1, Cintiq 21"UX, Affinity Designer 1.8.3 If there's a setting for this (I can't see a reason why there would be, but I've been wrong before), I will be very greatful for pointers.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
walt.farrell Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 In my experience on Windows, Guides are never visible (and as far as I recall have never been visible) except on the currently active artboard. When you select an object on Artboard A, A is then active, so the Guides on B are no longer visible.

Staff Sean P Posted April 7, 2020 Staff Posted April 7, 2020 Hi Samuli, I don't think this is a bug, its just that the guides that are shown are not updated until your selected object changes. However I've passed it on to development as an improvement! Samuli 1 Quote
