Diamanddog Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Hello, Designer cannot copy an artboard from one file to another. Instead of copying the artboard, it only copies a layer with some parts of the artboard. In the previous Versions I could copy the artboard for example a cover file with multiple layers into another designer file, and it copied the full artboard. One Screenshot shows the Artboard and the other the layer after I copied the artboard into another Designer file. Its only a layer and not the full artboard. Edited May 26, 2023 by Diamanddog Quote
Hangman Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Hi @Diamanddog, It's working for me, I'm able to copy and paste the artboard itself together with its associated layers from one document to another in Desinger 2.1. Which version of macOS are you using? Quote Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 Affinity Designer Beta 2.6.0.2861 | Affinity Photo Beta 2.6.0.2861 | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.6.0.2861 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse
Old Bruce Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Works fine here on my Mac running OS 11.7 Do you have the Artboard and only the Artboard selected for copying? Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Diamanddog Posted May 26, 2023 Author Posted May 26, 2023 I have Ventura 13.3.1 (a). I have also the problem to copy something from designer and into publisher. Same issue. It only copies part of my selection. Macbook pro m1, 16gb Quote

And how did you select it? If you didn't use the Layers panel, perhaps you didn't get the selection you thought you had. If I select the Group in the Layers panel, then Copy, then Paste in Publisher, I get everything.

I click on the Group and then copy and paste (cmd c, cmd v). Never had problems. There is also no layer in the group, but when I paste it, publisher and designer create a layer. Quote
