tinyheero Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hi, Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer. Is there a way to resize the canvas to what has been selected? I am coming from a Inkscape background where I am used to selecting objects and then using the "Resize page to drawing or selection" option (see attached screenshot). I can't seem to find this option in Affinity Designer. The best way I can think of right now is to select all, retrieve the dimensions of the selection, and then manually set it in "Document Setup -> Dimensions". Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hi tinyheero, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently there's no direct way to do this in Designer. The only way to resize a document is trough the Document Setup dialog as you are doing. I'm moving this to the Feature Requests section.

raglan Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'd like to second this request. I tried someone's suggestion of grouping all artwork, checking the dimensions of the group, centering it on the document, then resizing the document to those dimensions, but that didn't quite work because the thick strokes of some objects were outside of the group's bounds, so they were getting cut off. I had to guess at the size and enlarge the document a little bit to accommodate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
