rogert2 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I generally really like the snapping features, but it's incredibly frustrating that work on one artboard will attempt to snap to elements on other artboards. The only workaround is to arrange my artboards in a diagonal line, like a staircase. That would be fine, except that I'm often trying to tell a story in these files: modeling user flow through an application. That's really effing hard to do when the artboards have to be staggered so they don't interfere with each other. And even when I'm not "telling a story," I'll often want another artboard in view for reference -- but not because I'm reproducing it, so snapping is unhelpful. I wish there was a toggle that controlled this behavior. I would never turn it on, but I can't speak for anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 19, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi rogert2, Welcome to Affinity Forums Go to menu View > Snapping Manager... (or click the small arrow on the right of the magnet icon in the main toolbar) and change the Candidates dropdown to Immediate Layers or Immediate Layers with children.
