LEB Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hi, Is there a way to select the layers in a Designer document (or a layered PDF) that are visible when placed in a Publisher document? Thank you, LEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is possible in APub to select specific layers to be shown from a placed ADe document. For linked/placed documents there is a "Layers:" drop-down in the context menu that will allow you to select the desired specific Layers. Worth to notice: Placed documents offer also "Page Box" option on the context toolbar to choose how the page displays (e.g., with/without bleed, objects only). A file's embedded colour profile will always be converted to the Affinity document's current working space. Below is a screenshot of the context menu for linked documents with highlighted "Layers:" drop-down that does exactly what you're asking for.

LEB Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 I am confused because what I am seeing is the list of art boards and not the list of layers. I would like to use it to show the gradual construction of a single graphic, with boxes and connections appearing gradually, and not separate areas (art boards) of a single document. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The function works with Layers (capital L, e.g., created via Layer > New Layer in Designer), not other kinds of layers.

LEB Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 In the FR version of the app, both have exactly the same name (Calques). Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEB Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 By the way, any reason why the order is inversed between AD and AP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only to be expected in the DE version, since nouns in German always have initial capitals, but I’m a little surprised that the FR version has « calques » with an initial capital in both cases.
