Move Graphics with Slices ?


Recommended Posts

Hello,
I have a large document with lots of sliced graphics most of them are inside groups so it's easy to move them together as "blocks".

I need to organize and update this large document all the time, but whenever I move some of the groups that contain graphics, the slices stay in place... 

It is too much of a time consuming to move the slices manually again to match to so many graphics, and whenever I decide to re-organized it again to do this again and again...

Is there a way to move GRAHICS + SLICES together as one just like if the slices will stick to it's graphics?

I'm using the latest version of Affinity Designer 2.2.0

Thanks ahead! 🙏

make your slices from layers in the Export Persona.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Many of my slices must be custom, so the automatic are not accurate to my goals.

When you say "custom" what does that entail? Is it the size? Is it the output format? Is it the name? ... and on and on with the questions.

For example I have a large custom shape / multiple shapes which makes the overall size LARGER than the "box" even that it does fit inside the box that the automatic slice creates.
I must manually resize the created slice from the group, but it won't stick to the graphics when I move it... 

I hope there is a way to do this, because it's a very slow workflow when I must update a huge document and move things around all the time.

Make an invisible size object and group it with the other stuff. I am having to just blindly stab in the dark.
