EngraverHand Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 I´m on a job where I have to create a lot of repeating pattern. I have done this "manually" and copy/paste and all that.. but yesterday I saw a video where someone was using artboards, creating one artboard as a symbol and spread it out on another artboard for preview.. But my question, how on earth do I get rid of the names? When I multply the artboards, the names follows and disturb the design. I have tried to see some tutorials on YouTube but no luck yet 🙂 Any tips? If I try to rename with an open space, I get an annoying gray "." PS(This screenshot is just because I´trying and failing) Final design will look a lot more cool Anyone? Quote Hand engraver & Scrollwork designer.
firstdefence Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 The way round the name issue is to create a grid of blank "artboard" symbols and have one spare as the design symbol, take a look at this tutorial/video to help guide you. https://affinityspotlight.com/article/how-to-achieve-perfect-repeat-patterns-every-time-in-affinity-designer/ EngraverHand and Alfred 2 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
