HawkMaster Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 I am having difficulties trying to see if this is possible, so I am wanting to see if someone can help me. I am working on a design that requires duplicate of the same exact design on Affinity Designer. Is there a way to create a clone of an artboard and use it in a different artboard? The clone would be able to change whenever there is a change in the original artboard. For example, let say my design has 2 of the same exact coins and so I draw a coin and add it into a different artboard like a sticker. Later I realize I would like to change the design of the coin, so all I would have to do is change the original artboard and it will update it in my main design. Any help would be appreciated! Quote
Old Bruce Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 Try using Linked Designer documents. Coin 01.afdesign placed into Big design 01.afdesign. Use Link instead of Embed. If you change Coin 01 then Big Design 01 will have an updated linked document inside of it if you set the preferences to update automatically.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
walt.farrell Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Another thought: you might consider making your Coin design into a Symbol, and using the Symbol in multiple places. Changes to Symbols are synchronized throughout the document.
