Affinity Designer - After Printing Are The Measures Protected?

[Mainecoon364]

Let’s say I draw 10 cm square on canvas on Affinity Designer.

 

A) Either adjust the grids as 1 cm and drag It while snap function is on.

B) or draw the square by Transform Studio by entering the measurements.

 

and print It.

 

Will the square on the A4 paper be measured as 10 cm?

 

If It’s possible on v2 app lead me there.

Either A or B would work, personally, i'd use B. 

Yes it will It should, but due to a bug it doesn't at the minute.  However, if you export out from Affinity as PDF and print it from your PDF reader on your iPad, it should be the correct size.

Yes it will, however due to the limited printing options in iPadOS that Affinity hooks into, it would be best to export your work out of Affinity and print from your Printers iPad app, which will give you access to more print settings  

When I tried it with a 4 inch square this morning, from my iPad, I found that printing from Designer 2 gave me a square 1/8 " smaller than it should have been. Printing from Acrobat gave me a square of the size I expected.

Let me try this again, I printed directly from Affinity iPad, from Acrobat iPad and also from Desktop as well, so it's possible I got my print-ups mixed up.  I'll report back

Yup you are correct, somehow and I've no idea how, I've got 2 printouts directly from Affinity, one is slightly smaller than it should be and the other is slightly larger.  Yet all prints from Acrobat have been the correct size.  On looking into this further, we do already have an issue logged back from version 1.7 where this was happening and that report is still open.  I'll get the report updated so it's clear this still applies to V2

So, in summary. What do you suggest for me?

Ok. I’ll go for that then.

 

Thank you very much for the answers.
