Polygonius Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Lets say i have an artboard 1000X500 and i´m absolut HAPPY with all groups and THEM CENTER Postion... and its generell size.... BUT i want to "shrink" the Artbord/Canvas... it self WITOUT loosing any GroupElements.... sizes/places.... Lets say all my groups are Inside the new canvas and an Option like "schrink from MIDDLE" is activated... SO all my GROUPS (a d layer it self) should be KEEP its current places ... ON the PIXEL exact (if activated).... IF I WANT that will re-size OR SCHRINK proprtional to new MASTER_"freme".... ok... but pere default (or at ölesat as OPTION::: ther schould be "SCHRINK/Crop.... from the mideele Point... keep all intact... just SCHRINK dthe "CANVAS".... Theer is lot of AP and AD ... THINKING inside....Well. to spend AD a CROP TOOL a and to spend AP Artboarads... Is it so complextly/difficault to set borders/possibillitys... for EACH SUB-APP...? BUT I OWE ALL SERIF!!!!!!! - IT´s a relly annoying MISS/MESS/FCK... thah SERIF does not matter a SERIF_ALL app: AA for AFFINITY ALL... (all hidden (disabeled) features from AP in AD and Apub and viceversa and crossover....) As an OWNER for SRIF-SUITE i REALLY HOPED THAT I OPEN AFFINITY SUITE AND THE PERSONAS... will handle (my "SEPERATE" = is thi9s really separate????) nto ONE file... ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ AP/AD/APUB--- THE PERSONAS can handle it.... But NO---- Its the same old finder/explorer and warnings and not compatinble... WARN... like really COMPLETE different apps... SERIF SUITE it cost exact as Combo of as the COMBINATION of AP; AD; APub.... (together) in ONE APP... Thats the GOAL!) I would by it! NOPER. ia llready have bouht it, but with this ARTIFICALLY DIVIDE into AP: AD; Apub... files....Dozens. hundreds, thouisands of REDUNDANT files... ( If i had AS = AFFINITY SUITE = AP/AD/APUB together... (i have BOUGHT each of them... I am a OWNER of all this.... s, why have to save/copy"reopen, search.... for SUCH THE FILE anywhre... its so OLDFASHION... nope: its really "i give a shit" of your worktime... I AM the MASTER and I HAVE the RULES... and you have to follow me...) Thats MAST_Behavior. PLEASED SERIF overthing this BEHAVIOR.... IF i OWN all SERIF Apps... there is no need for YOU to Seperate (artifically CUT OUT features of them) ... If i just own AP i do understand... thazt AD/Apub... features not avaible... Thats normal, thats ok... BUT... I payed SUITE-... so I ALOS recomend to get a SUITE... But i got just 3 more/less seperate APPS... with the brand-name SERIF... Each of this NEEDS new (own) files/ new (own) shortys, toolbars/FILEW_directions, file-handling... and allt the other stuff, you have REDUNDANT to do foer SEPERATE APSS/and its connected files.... ... HOW CAN SUCH FLICKWERK be a SUITE?????? Quote OSX 12.5 / iMac Retina 27" / Radeon Pro 580X / Metall: on! --- WWG1WGA WW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It’s a very tightly integrated suite. Unlike other so-called suites, you can open an Affinity file in the latest version of any of the Affinity apps. So, for example, you can open a *.afpub file in Designer (without having to save/copy/reopen anything) if you want to add artboards. Try doing that with a *.indd file in Adobe Illustrator! loukash 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APPP A suite („eine Garnitur“) is a set, not a single item. If you don’t like working with separate apps, you can start every project in Affinity Publisher and only use the Photo and Designer personas when you need them (or ‘Edit in…’ if you want access to all of the other features).

If you want to change the artboard size but keep all nested layers in their current size + position, you have this options: 1. Select the artboard with the Move Tool + activate the "Lock Children" option in the Context Toolbar… 2. Select the Artboard Tool… 3. … then drag a corner handle of the artboard with shift key pressed 4. … or type the wanted size … or scaling ratio in the Transform Panel. B.) If you want to scale an artboard + scale all nested layers: 1. Select the artboard with the Move Tool and de-activate the "Lock Children" option in the Context Toolbar, 2. then continue with A.) 3 or 4.
