My Strawberry Monkey Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Hi, Just testing something out. I've created some 64x64 px art boards then head over to the export persona and create slices from the art boards. The sizes of the slices vary 64x64 65x64 65x65px.

Staff MEB Posted November 25, 2015 Staff Posted November 25, 2015 Hi Allan, I'm not able to reproduce this. Can you detail the steps you've taken to create the artboards? Are the additional ones copies of the first or have you drawn them separately? Have you have moved one or some of them making them lay outside the pixel grid? A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
My Strawberry Monkey Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Yes they are copies, and I wasn't using the grid. I just created one then held down the option key and duplicated them by click and dragging then used the menus to align and evenly space out. I Just went back in and used the grid and it works fine.

Staff MEB Posted November 25, 2015 Staff Posted November 25, 2015 If you press the ⌥ (option/alt) key to duplicate them you are also overriding the snapping which may lead to an inaccurate placement (decimal pixel values). Press ⌘ (cmd) instead to duplicate the artboards without overriding the snapping. My Strawberry Monkey and MattP 2 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

nravenlock Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 @mystrawberrymonkey To get full pixel accuracy in placement (and therefore full accuracy of the Export persona slices), I would recommend spacing the artboards by specific pixel amounts rather than distributing them automatically. To do this, on the Arrange pop-up dialog, ensure the Auto Distribute option is off and then add a set pixel amount in the input box. Thanks. My Strawberry Monkey 1

Ok, I have never used that. So use to ⌥ (option/alt) + ⇧ (shift) for whatever I use on Mac. Also with Miguel's comment- Press ⌘ (cmd) that only works if Force Pixel Alignment is on. Thanks.

anon1 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Nravenlock Couldn't this be done somehow automatically?
nravenlock Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Nravenlock Couldn't this be done somehow automatically? @MBd I'm not quite sure which procedure you are requesting should be automatic. The purpose of Auto Distribute is to ensure an equal distance between all selected layers between 1 and n, with layer 1 and layer n defining the outer limits. If you added another factor, such as also distancing by full pixels, then this might result in object n being repositioned, which might be undesirable. Unless I have misunderstood your question.
anon1 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Oh sorry I missed that fact with the auto distribute, wasn't shure about this vocabulary. Your absolutely right! Thank you very much for the clarification though!

Thank you very much for the clarification though! @MBd No problem. It's always good to clarify points so we're all working in the same direction.
predick Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 - Bug Report - (Can be reproduced) The oversight bugs, you may be forgot to disable some features. Bug#1 1. Create 3 Artboards 2. Use geometry tools to merge between 2 Artboards (Add, Subtract and etc..) 3. Move the merged shape 4. Crash Out! Bug#2 (file attached) 1. Create an Artboard 2. Create any Shape (such as Star and etc... ) 3. Drag the Shape outside the Artboard 4. Drag the Artboard inside the Shape 5. Move the Shape 6. Loding Forever!! or try to move my attached file for skipping to step 6. bug2.afdesign A_B_C 1
Staff MEB Posted November 27, 2015 Staff Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks predick. Both issues were logged. A_B_C and predick 2 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
