Selecting which art board to display - Designer

[Mediac]

I have imported a Designer file (with two art-boards) into another designer file (all on iPad) but can not find a way to display the art-board I want.  I thought it would be obvious but there seems to be no selection box anywhere.

Is it even possible to do this?

Can you specify which art-board to display on import somewhere/how?

Why does the original file not update in the host file (resorted to duplicating the document and deleting other art-board) after editing?

Simple feature just can’t see it anywhere.

The iPad apps do not support Linked documents, only Embedded. So if you Place document 1 into document 2, then update document 1, you will not see the updates in document 2. (I'm not sure if that's part of what you were asking.)

I have no idea at this time whether you can select an Artboard from an embedded .afdesign file.

Unfortunately this isn't an option in the iPad version of Affinity currently, though this is something that our devs hope to add in a future update.

In the meantime, you can double tap the file in the Layers Studio to open the embedded .afdesign file, and delete the artboard you don't wish to show - the other artboard should now be displayed when returning to the 'master' document.

I hope this clears things up!

Thanks, I’ll give it a try…👍🏼
