AD Version 2.3.1. canvas does not resize with the image


Recommended Posts

FWIW, so far I cannot duplicate this issue in AD V2.3.1 on my Mac. It might help if the OP could post the file shown so others could test with it....

Sorry to hear you're having trouble @Monica Schultz!

all of a sudden, my canvas does not resize with the image. In "Document Setup

When resizing your canvas within Document Setup, there is an option named 'Objects will' - which controls whether layers in your file will be resized with the canvas, or remain static whilst the canvas changes around them.

Please ensure that you have Objects will set to Rescale if you want your layers to update with the canvas size, as it sounds as though you may have changed this to Anchor to Page accidentally.

I hope this helps!

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

I have that selected. This was working before the last update. I sell digital art on Etsy, so I use this feature all the time.

@Monica Schultz, what I meant was to upload the Affinity Designer document. A PNG doesn't tell us much.

Thanks for letting me know - as R C-R has mentioned above, I'm also not able to replicate this issue currently on macOS or Windows. Are you able to provide a screen recording showing the exact steps you're taking when this occurs?

If you're unsure how to take a screen recording, please check out our FAQ linked below - 

Many thanks once again!

@Monica Schultz, the 3pigs file you uploaded is 30.367 x 24 inches, not the 36x24 size you mentioned in your first post.  It shows no extra empty space on the right. Are you sure you uploaded the original file before sizing it?

Many thanks for providing this recording for me - I can see the issue you're referring to and it appears as though you have the correct settings set when performing this in your video.

I've tested this here on both macOS and Windows with a .PNG file, reducing the width only and the image is rescaled to match the new canvas size as expected:

   

Therefore I'm not entirely sure why you're seeing this behaviour currently. Can you please try selecting 'Anchor to Page', then return to 'Rescale' and let me know if this now works as expected? It may be that the app simply needs reminding which mode it should be in and the UI is incorrectly reporting the wrong mode.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, can you please confirm for me - are you able to replicate this in multiple files/images? If you find this only occurs in one file, are you able to attach a copy of the .afdesign file here for me? :)
