debraspicher Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 I needed a really large span graphic behind for a layout and thus large margins. However, in Designer, the margins are not adjustable above 400px? (I tried also in Publisher) Manual typing in a value above 400px doesn't work either. I needed the additional margin for the column guides to line up. Not sure if this is a bug or by design? Quote
carl123 Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 I think the margins in the Guides dialog are the same margins that the document has and in File > Document Setup you can set margins larger than 400px, which then show up in the Guides dialog Not sure why you can only do it this way to get values larger than 400px debraspicher 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

These were on art boards so I didn't think about Document setup again, but indeed it works! There is a similar limitation such as Layer > New Pattern Layers being locked to 1024px in Photo through that dialog. And yet we can make any size we need using a rasterized rectangle and turn that into a Pattern Layer. So I'd hoped here it was the same, just an limitation input, but not functionally... The only other option I could've thought of would have been to change units, but I couldn't in this case. Quote
R C-R Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 FWIW, in AD version 2.0.4 on my Mac I can enter > 400 px margin values in the Guides Manager window regardless of the values I set in File > Document Setup, even ridiculously large values like ones much greater than the canvas or artboard size. Maybe just a Windows limitation or bug? debraspicher 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.6 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7
NotMyFault Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 It is probably an old bug, affecting all 3 apps on Windows only, takeover from V1. This was one reason for me to switch from Windows to Mac in the hope to get into a better place - only to find out there are many Mac-specific bugs. debraspicher 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | MBP M3 Windows 11 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 | Dell 27“ 4K iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

Maybe just a Windows limitation or bug? So just like the Pattern Layer bug then 😂 Maybe the Mac guy and the Windows guy should meet up for lunch more often? We gotta make sure these bugs work cross platform... https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/167724-pattern-layer-dimensional-limit/&do=findComment&comment=958932 Quote
