Poto Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 I want to display the same ruler line for all three panels so that I can symmetrically align the elements But I found that the ruler can only be displayed within a Artboard, like the arrow on the left in the picture. But I want the effect of the ruler line pointed by the arrow on the right in this picture, on the left is the reality, on the right is the effect I want but don't know how to achieve Quote

thomaso Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 As workaround you can draw a line in a separate layer above all Artboards. This will show up on all Artboards and snap, too. In example below: The two bold, dashed lines and their two single "(Curve)" layers. Disadvantage: once you move such a layer it will automatically get moved by Affinity as child layer of a current Artboard layer. Thus it can unexpectedly disappear and needs to get removed on top of the layer stack.

Yes, that's how Guides work at the moment, but for many situations it would be very useful if they worked globally, that is, for all Artboards. Auxiliary lines, as proposed by thomaso, in turn require that the Artboards must be precisely aligned, which in turn does not allow the use of a global/common guide for the horizontal position (in OP example). An alternative would be to use the Symbol (name Guides), which would be copied to all Artboards. Any adjustments to it, both vertical and horizontal, would then be transferred to all Artboards. Symbol would have to turn off before exporting, which would probably be the only case where wrong and years of uncorrected implementation of shutting down all instances of the symbol will be welcome.
