duncang Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 What is the frame (blue rectangle around images) that is shown in the first artboard and why does it not appear in artboards that are added ? This frame seems to be added automatically to the first artboard in new documents. Is it possible to remove it or edit its position ? What is its intended purpose and how to remove it or add to new artboards? Thanks Quote
Brian_J Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 I’m guessing it’s the margins, which are set when a file is created. You can edit margins in the document properties. duncang 1 Quote Windows 10 22H2, 32GB RAM | Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 (MSI/EXE)
duncang Posted November 18, 2022 Author Posted November 18, 2022 Hmm ok I found it - seems it is derived from the Document Margin settings and only appears in the first artboard. My guess is it should show in every artboard if it is enabled rather than just the first one - particularly given multiple artboards can be used to represent multiple pages of the same document. Perhaps a feature request to set this on a per artboard level or show it in every artboard by default if it is enabled. Quote

Brian_J Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Guides (including margins) only display on the active artboard. Select the other artboard and the margin should show up… assuming it has margins. Quote Windows 10 22H2, 32GB RAM | Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 (MSI/EXE)

On the iPad at least, when you create a document in Designer 2 and specify Margins, and Create Artboard, only the initial Artboard has the margins set. If you create a new Artboard (create, not duplicate the first one), the Margins option is on, but the Margin sizes need to be set if you really want Margins. (I don't know if it works the same on Desktop, or if the iPad version has a bug. Yes, it works that way on the desktop, too, and in Designer and Designer 2.)

I was thinking margins were handled the same way on new artboards as they are when adding a new page in APub... my bad. Quote Windows 10 22H2, 32GB RAM | Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 (MSI/EXE)
