Request: Visible Bleed Area when working with Artboards in Designer.

[MC909]

Is there a way to turn this on in V2? For some reason I thought this was fixed in V2, if there is a way to enable this please let me know!

It is really frustrating to have a wonderfull artboard feature to work on a complete set of marketing materials but have to export each artboard to check if you have bleed issues, then go back to Designer to fix them. Then export again to see if they all are fixed. Overly slow PDF export adds to frustration in this workflow, but this has been raised in other threads.

Affinity, please allow the option to toggle on visibility of objects in the bleed area.

I am using V2.0.4.1707 on Windows 11.

BTW, I posted in the V1 forum by mistake, arriving there when searching for a solution:

This would be very useful ( There most likely still be issues with bleed when exporting though )

I second this. People were asking for this feature back in 2018 for V1, and it's no less needed now.

I don't know what to say other than can a dev please not consider this an edge case? You need to see the bleed at least occasionally when designing. Other software has this feature. I'll wait for a few more years then I will give up. This is essential to my workflow and right now it's something I grin and bare to do my job with the software I bought and wish to support. But I'm feeling unsupported by the software.

I agree.

It is disappointing that such an important feature for print is still missing after so many years of development. I don't think this is an edge case.
