Jørgensen Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Just purchased the Affinity Designer v.2.5.3 wanting to make scaled drawings of my house. I note that the help menu tells me that "Measurements are not persistent, are non-printable and are not saved with your document." How can I work around this, since I will have to make chains of dimensions on my plan drawings? Artistwright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artistwright Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I would also love to ability to have the measurements stay on screen after using the measure tool. Would be so handy. Right now i'm creating the shown measurements the manual way (typing them out) and adding a stroke and arrow heads etc. If anyone has a quicker way i'd be most grateful.

So you already know the measurements of the house, because you draw the plans according to them, and so you can then directly enter them into the prepared dimensions? (i have prepared vertical and horizontal groups with dimension text, extension and dimension lines).
