Custom document templates

[motoko]

I can't find it, so I'm assuming it's not there. But I could also be completely missing it.

 

Anyway, I do quite a bit of artwork for music labels and for that I create a lot of 'New Documents' with the same dimensions and resolution, same goes for the Facebook banners that usually go with a release. At this point I have a few template documents with the correct document setup. But I aways have to remember to save as... if I don't want to overwrite the current template.

 

First of all I would like to be able to specify my own document presets that I can choose when opening a New Document. This would include all parameters I can set in the New Document pop-up.

 

Secondly I also have a few documents that have specific settings in terms of grid, guide lines etc. I would love to be able to save a document as template. Basically it would save a document not as a Affinity file, but as a template. This would be a regular Affinity Document, but that could be chosen from the 'New Document' dropdown menu and would act as a starting point. Saving the file would work as normal, but would not overwrite the template.

 

Hope this makes sense.

Agree 100%! :)

I know this has been requested several times in the past. Affinity Designer team, is it on the roadmap for the next release?

 

:D

There's a recent thread about this here. Lots of 'like' and '+1' responses, but no comment from the devs so far.
