typotaurus Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 When grouping objects and converting them into an Asset, the text of a text box is shrunk when the Asset is placed on a new page. Furthermore it is not possible to place the Asset in the document from which it came. The Asset vanishes from the cursor when dragging the Asset from the Asset panel to the canvas. The file was an idml file. test_in_asset_shrunk.mp4 disappearing_placing_cursor.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
typotaurus Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 I tested again with versions 1.9.1 and 1.8.6. This behavior is showing in both versions. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the objects pulled into the Assets Panel come from a converted idml file.From scratch created elements work as expected.

Staff Pauls Posted March 17, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 17, 2021 would you be able to share the IDML file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
typotaurus Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 @Pauls, sure. Here is a link to the file: https://fromsmash.com/UhJng1T45b-dt the original file has more pages and I realized that opening the same idml file now takes more time in Affinity 1.9.1. compared to 1.8.6 Thanks for looking into this.

No, the text gets resized even if I pull it back into the document out of which I created the asset from. And why should it resize text? That should be completely independent of what dpi the document has. I also tested it with a different dpi setting – same result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typotaurus Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 @PaulsThe issue with with the disappearing cursor when pulling assets from the Asset Panel to the document is only happening in version 1.9.1 and not in 1.8.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
