Possibility of Fixing Master-Layers as a tool


Recommended Posts

Dear Affinity-Team, 

 

I am glad that you developed that program and I recently started to work with it for my office. Hence, I do not jet have enough knowledge about all the features of the program. 

But what I realized already: It is not possible to fix the Master Layout as a top-layer on each page. 

For example: I do have a large document, on which I want each page to use the master-Layout A. So first I design the Master-Layout with page numbers, frames, etc. 

Next, I want that this master-layer is always the top layer on each page. But normally, as soon as I drag a photo or other elements on a page, the Master-Layer is normally the lower layer. 

Is there any possibility to fix the master-layer to always stay on top of the other layers other than doing this manually for each page?

I hope you understand my problem. 

Best regards. 

Nora

Hi @NMG, try adding a "layer" layer to the page before you start adding objects, drag it below the master, then select it.

New objects should then go inside that layer, keeping them below the master.

 

This is not completely optimal as the layer will become deselected when you switch pages (and you will need to select it again when coming back to the page), plus you will need to do it for each page separately, but for now I'm afraid it is the best we have available.

The so-called "global layers" support which has been discussed on various other threads should eventually resolve this, but we don't know if or when that will finally be implemented in Publisher.
