th_studio Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 It's a pity that the artboard management system on AD is really not up to the mark. I hope the devs work on this to make it more efficient to use. IngeFromHolland and baoyu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding equal space between all the artboards at a time Resizing artboards at a time Rearranging them at a time (specifying columns and rows) I can't remember the others at this moment. But these are the very basic staffs. Maybe I don't know the right process 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted: 30 minutes ago, Wosven said: They are like other layers … and in fact, they are also like other objects. Simply treat Artboards as such, using the tools that you would use with any other objects, like the Move tool, the Alignment tools, Transform panel, snapping, etc. etc. 16 minutes ago, th_studio said: there are workarounds No, there are workflows.

th_studio Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 @loukash nope. I knew about this. How do I specify the columns and rows for the artboards? It's quite simple in AI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite simple in AD if you have snapping turned on.

You have asked for "columns and rows". Columns and rows are being defined in the Guides Manager. If you mean something else, please use the correct terminology. thanks Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th_studio Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 @loukashI took some screenshots from AI to give you a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th_studio Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 @Alfred thanks so much. I knew about this. It's simple, but there are scopes to make it even simpler. I posted 2 screenshots above. Could you please take a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
