rkrd Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m having an annoying issue, I need the artboards to be the same size and position as the bounding box of the (vectorized) paragraph. To do that I use the selection mode of the artboard tool. But the artboard I get is the right size, but is shifted by the overshoot of the type. So the overshoots are cut off and I have to reposition the paragraph. A friend with the mac version reports the same behavior. Any way to remedy this? To illustrate the issue, this is what I get (note the bottom overshoots of e and o and the space above the ascender of k): This is what I need: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted August 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hi rkrd, Could you attach a copy of the document shown in the screenshot prior to inserting the artboard please? It will be much easier for us to see what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkrd Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 I could reproduce this with simple shapes, and it seems that with increasing size of the shape, less of the overshoot is cut off. Here’s a file. artboardsbug.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 5, 2020 It also happens on the desktop version. And as rkrd said the smaller the object the bigger the error. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioJason Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Happens when you completely resize the Artboard as a Canvas-type Resizing, as well. Might not be the same as overshooting Fonts, but had all Constraints correctly on one Template for an iPhone and transferred successfully to another (different phone size and tablet). After Exporting an image, tested doing a resizing of the Artboard itself, and it shifted some icons, some even removed outside of what I think was previous area. Being the icons were inside the template, shouldn’t have shifted. Fixed everything by reworking in the end, and most likely doing something in error myself but perhaps related.

Staff Sean P Posted August 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi rkrd, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've been able to reproduce it and I believe its due to the artboards needing to start on a pixel boundary. The objects you're creating your artboards from aren't pixel aligned, so when the artboard is created, it is trying to align it the best it can whilst maintaining the pixel boundary. If you go into your snap settings and enable 'Force Pixel Alignment' and 'Move by Whole Pixels' it will force any newly created object to be placed on pixel boundaries so you won't get the slight offset. For existing objects you will need to ensure you go into the Transform Studio and ensure your X and Y positions are whole numbers and not a decimal. I've tried it on the attached document and manually rounding those X/Y values up allows the artboard to be created without a problem.
