Dangerous Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I was asked to solve an issue for someone which was cased by an embedded image witch consisted of a small image on a large background. This had been added to a document (AD) as an embedded image. The person wanted all the empty area deleted as much of it was off canvas. I double clicked to edit in another tab, select the group of layers and made an artboard from the selection. Closing the tab back to the main doc, repositioned the smaller edit to the correct position. I was asked to change a couple of things so double click again, switch to the embedded image tab and I could not edit or even select the layer. Turning them off didn't work either, they remained visible. Is this a bug or the way it supposed to work? Video shows the process I took. Seams like it only happens if I add an artboard!

Doesn't allow me to re-edit the Embedded file after I have added an Artboard. However, I can do all sorts of stuff with a Linked file, which means the original is going to be changed so that doesn't help. Plus here I get a very long Hang and have to force quit after working on the Embedded with an added during editing artboard.

Old Bruce Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 @Callum, Red Car.zipThe trick is to have the artboard added via the Context toolbar button. Add it as Document. Close the Embedded window and save the Designer file, double click on the Picture to edit in a new window and you cannot do any editing in that.

Staff Callum Posted June 27, 2023 Staff Share Posted June 27, 2023 Thanks Old Bruce I was adding the artboard to the original document rather than the placed one. I can replicate this now and will get it logged. Dangerous and Old Bruce 2 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
