Error displaying rectangle?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I got the latest version of Affinity Designer 2.4 today
installed on my Mac. To test I have one in AD
I created a few auxiliary lines and wanted a rectangle with them
Mount dimensions 20 x 20 mm.

Unfortunately, the rectangle does not always line up 100% with the auxiliary lines.

I made a video about it and I hope you can see exactly what I mean.

Somehow either 0.1 mm is missing or the rectangle doesn't line up 100% with the guide lines. Am I perhaps doing something wrong?

This is weird, indeed. 
I can't reproduce it though.
Can you post a screenshot of the snapping options window?

Der Raster und der Grundlinienraster kommen dir wohl in die Quere. Diese Ausrichtung am besten nur dann einschalten, wenn die Raster auch tatsächlich sichtbar sind.

I have now selected Window -> Studio -> Reset Studio.
I then set the snap option as shown in the screenshot. It works now.

Those snapping options do not interfere with snapping to the guides unless there's a grid set and visible which weren't the case in your video (pixel grid is always ignored by snapping). I believe you experienced a glitch. That's why I was asking if you were experiencing the issue consistently. If you enable these two snapping options again, it should continue working fine.

Thank you very much again for the quick help. I previously had version 2.3.1 and then switched to version 2.4.0 productive with the update.

Previously there were no problems with the alignment of objects or with the alignment to the guides. I only noticed this today after updating to version 2.4.0.

Is there a way to reset everything to factory settings after an update such as the update to 2.4.0?

Anyway, it's working again now. The few things I did is set the snap option and reset it under Window --> Studio --> Studio.

Thank you again for the great update and keep it up! 😃

Not true, it is when force pixel alignment is enabled.

 

 

 

I was referring to the two options mentioned by loukash (snap to grids in general), not Force Pixel Alignment (which wasn't enabled initially as you can see in the video).You have taken that little bit out of the context of the reply/thread.

If you force pixel alignment then yes it will affect the snapping to the pixel no matter if/and besides there's a grid defined or not. I should have been more clear nonetheless. It could have caused the OP's problem if it were initially enabled but that wasn't the case. Thanks for raising the issue.
