cailo Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Hi, Is it possible to create 1 business card and replicate it in a way that all changes in one reflects in all of them? Can't do it with symbols. Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @cailo. Two questions: 1. Which Affinity applications do you have? 2. Why won't Symbols work?

Can't do it with symbols. Yes, with a separate Affinity document, containing the 1 business card as multiple copies of 1 linked resource. If you want to modify certain parts of the various copies then just hide the according layers in the original of the linked file … or use APub with a Master Page layer.

R C-R Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 @cailo, as mentioned, it should be very easy to do in AD using symbols, particularly if you set up the page size & a grid to place each instance of the card in & then design everything in one instance sized to fit in one grid cell. Then you could just make all that a symbol & then drop other instances of it into the other cells.
