asdfghjkloiwdjoiioens Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm pretty sure my margins used to show outside the document like photoshop but all of a sudden they're gone and it's bugging the hell out of me?How do I make them show again?

Staff Chris B Posted August 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi Braceyourself, As far as I'm aware margins have never been visible outside the document as the very nature of a margin is to show you a printable area within a document. Are you referring to guides? These are also restricted to being visible within the document. I imagine if you have seen this happen, it was due to a bug that is now fixed but I can't see any reference to that, either.

Staff MEB Posted August 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi Braceyourself, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) If you are referring to objects placed outside the canvas (non-artboard documents) go to menu View ▸ View Mode and uncheck Clip to Canvas. Previously guides where visible outside the canvas for regular documents. With the introduction of Artboards this changed and now guides are only visible inside the canvas area.

asdfghjkloiwdjoiioens Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi MEB, thanks, but there's no such option on here.I'm not sure if I am explaining correctly so basically I want my guides (the blue lines) to meet the ruler at all times, not just when I'm dragging them. The second attachment shows the guide touching the ruler as I drag one across the document. That's how I want it to be at all times, not just when dragging. The third attachment shows my guides contained inside the document. This is what happens once I stop dragging a guide. This is what's bugging me.

Staff Chris B Posted August 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi Braceyourself, Clip to Canvas isn't available in Affinity Photo and it does not have Artboards. I think it was assumed you were in Designer. I'm not sure why has been taken out. I can't recall when they were visible however I'm going to check this out with development. It would be nice to have a setting in Preferences that allows the user to change how the guides are displayed. asdfghjkloiwdjoiioens 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi Braceyourself, I was referring to Designer, not Photo as Chris B pointed out. My bad. Please accept my apologies for the mess.

asdfghjkloiwdjoiioens Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 That's ok I own Affinity Designer also so I must of seen the lines there and got them mixed up. It would still be nice to have the option to do that though Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section as this is not really a bug but an improvement request and may become lost here. Thread title updated to better reflect the feature being requested. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think that "margin" cannot be outside of the document. By definition it is document area. Area outside can be bleed. I think AP has no need for it as it is image manipulation app, not a layout/design app for print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazmondo77 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Would still be invaluable to be able to view slug and bleed in Designer - hopefully this will be available in Publisher?

asdfghjkloiwdjoiioens Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 I think that "margin" cannot be outside of the document. By definition it is document area. Area outside can be bleed. I think AP has no need for it as it is image manipulation app, not a layout/design app for print. I'm in web design and development not print. Photoshop is our go to and Affinity Photo is the Photoshop killer so one would only assume the guides go outside the document as in Photoshop. Check out my screenshot, it's impossible to see the pixels that the guides line up with. Furthermore, when using certain colours it's equally as hard to determine what is a guide and what is an object when using thin borders and straight lines. For all you could know I've put a thin border on the red columns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_after Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 +1 - it's a must to see guides outside the canvas area, extended to the rulers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toupee Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Re: that Clip to Canvas feature; I'm in AD, so I see it, but it's blanked out and I can't change it. (It's currently checked.) Why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
