mrbips Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 When I hold command down I can measure between objects. I want to measure object to margin but it just measures to page border. How do I adjust the measuring guides? Attached screenshots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catshill Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Workaround - draw a box or line between the two objects and take the measurement from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted January 5, 2022 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi @mrbips, Our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, we were extremely busy over the Christmas period and working from home during the pandemic is unfortunately extending our response window to be longer than normal, many thanks for your continued patience and understanding here.

Unfortunately the measuring tools in Affinity do not currently use the Margins when calculating, my apologies. This is something our devs may change in a future update. In the meantime, I'd recommend following the above advice and creating an 'invisible' (ie no fill & no stroke) object the same size as the margins, which Affinity will then 'measure' to. I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
