Selecting and Viewing Artboards


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Coming from Coreldraw where actual pages are used, I get the concept of Artboards and how to create them to act as pages, but how do you select and isolate a single artboard, in a multi-artboard document, to fit the workspace as a single page, or do you have to use the zoom tool to select an area to bring it into full view?

Thanks,
Bob

You can select the Artboard in the Layers panel, then double-click its thumbnail.

But depending on why you want Pages, Publisher might be a better choice.

Thanks Walt.  The Layers thing does what I need.  I've only got 6 pages for this document that I'm making into a chartScreenshot2023-09-16170812.thumb.png.f66a3ebc2b93db95ce1c74d7a878e441.png, all vector graphics, so I won't need Publisher in this case.

I'm experimenting with Designer V2, to see if it can do everything that Coreldraw 2023 can do.....and it looks like it can so far, for the functions I use.  I'm retiring in a year, and Designer, Photo, and Publisher will be my alternatives to the hefty Adobe Suite and Coreldraw Suite yearly subscriptions.  I am very pleased with the Affinity products so far.

I'm just learning how to navigate around the tools and function locations that equate to the Adobe and Corel functions.
