Artboard templates?

[gr8rck]

Hi,

Is there a way yet to save custom Artboard sizes as templates for re-use within documents?  Not sure if i'm missing this setting or the feature isn't in place for a reason.

Thanks,

Ryan.

Hi Gr8rck,

 

Its not possible to save Artboards as templates within the app I'm afraid. However I think this would make a great addition to the app so I am moving this thread to the Feature Requests section :)

I have to add something else: I know Affinity is being heavily sold towards UI designers and digital illustrators, so having digital screen presets makes sense, but it is also a print-geared app…

 

It would be nice to also have print-sized presets (DIN A-series formats, US formats, offset formats – 50x70 cm, 70x100 cm –, etc…) and maybe have Affinity only show the appropriate formats depending on colour mode/document preset (as in “Print/Print (Press-Ready)” vs. “Photo/Web/Devices” and/or RGB vs. CMYK).

 

If a user is working in a mixed media project demo for a client (such as a corporate identity that includes both printed stationery and UI mock-ups), switching between presets would be a minor inconvenience, but the net gain for most users when working in most projects (in which the print-bound and screen-bound artboards would probably be segregated anyway so as to allow the assignment of the proper colour modes and profiles for each use case) would be great.
