"Master" artboards in Designer V2

[EEvgeniy]

Hej!

I really love how good Publisher is with creating any of things that could be either shown or printed. But when it comes to a creative process, pages are more variants than really pages. And today was a day I saw that Designer have "artboards" that seens far more convenient for that purpose.

So I tried but can't figure out is it possible to set guides, columns and rows as default for every new artboard?

 

PS Or maybe there's "special mode" in Publisher available where pages can be displayed like artboards?

One way (or workaround ?) could use an Artboard or its items as Symbol (=master) and nest the symbol as child within other artboards, if you use an Artboard layer it includes its guides (alternatively you could use custom curve objects as snapping guides), for instance:

Thanks, Thomaso! Never heard about "Symbols", will look more into this solution.

Odd, – to me it feels like a typical or a key feature of AD, and, as objects, possibly more powerful or flexible than APub's master pages.
