EEvgeniy Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Today I wanted to make some stickers for routine use — I got special pre-cut Lomond self-adhensive paper for that. So, I created blank A4 and used columns and guides to mark cut line for every sticker. I was not intended to make different variants, so I made guides for the page. After I did the first try I realised that I want to try different designs, for what decided to create the second page — and guess what? Right, no guides because I should have use Master page for that. So, I decided to make things right and repeated guides and grid for the master page. But when I had finished I saw some difference: guides and grid did not look the same for master page and single page! With taking in consideration all above, I have two questions: 1) Why is there a such difference? 2) Is there any fast way to copy grid and guides settings from single page to a master one? Thanks!

So you can tell whether the guide originated on the page, or came from a Master Page. You need to know that when you want to adjust them. Edit: I think I misunderstood the question.

Then switched to the Master page A and repeated guides and grid settings for the master page (the first image in my initial post) —> And it looks not so good. As far as I can see, settings in the Giudes manager are totally the same. But there's huge visual difference. And I do not know why. And if I create new single page with master page applied I will also get "no so good" result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Sorry; I did not interpret question 1 properly. I think I see what you meant now. Can you supply your .afpub document?

Old Bruce Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The little grey rectangles are distributed between the Margins, you have two different settings for the margins, one has a 0 (zero) mm at the bottom. That is what is causing the difference. EEvgeniy 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
