Lojza Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just a question: is it possible to set exact dimensions for a slice to be exported? For example, I have a slice of an artwork and I want it to be exported in 200px width, 300px widht and 400px width (height keeps aspect ratio). Is this doable? And if not, is it planned?

Staff MEB Posted August 16, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi Lojza, Yes, you can do it in version 1.5 Beta but not in the current Mac App Store (1.4.2) version. Andy Somerfield 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lojza Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks MEB, yes, I'm using current 1.5 Beta. I am only able to set User scale in the slice detail dialog, or choose one of the predefined scaling factors from the drop down, but I just can't figure, how to set the pixel dimensions. Any help appreciated :) Thank you! UX/UI designer, IT analyst & consultant, Business Architect at Cool Ticket (www.coolticket.co).

Staff MEB Posted August 17, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2016 You have to use an absolute size, not a size scaling. So for example if you want to export a particular slice with a width of 400px you have to input 400w. If you want to add more sizes to that particular slice click on the plus marked on screenshot and add another one. You can also define a height instead of the width. In that case just enter 400h. See the example on the screenshot - it will export slice1 in three sizes (widths): 200px, 300px and 400px.

Lojza Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks a lot, MEB! I couldn't figure out what the "w" and "h" after the number meant... Now it's clear! I think this would deserve some tutorial by the time 1.5 will have been released in MAS ;) UX/UI designer, IT analyst & consultant, Business Architect at Cool Ticket (www.coolticket.co).

kirk23 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is it possible to specify both dimensions to fit a slice into specific size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 23, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi kirk23, If you select a slice with the Slice Tool (Export Persona) you can enter its dimensions in the Transform panel. Not sure if this is what you are looking for? You can also use the X,Y coordinates to position it precisely or the ←→↑↓ (cursor keys) to nudge the slice after set its dimensions. vonBusing 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
