Problems with symbols when using artboards and placing a psd-file

[KoBu]

(1.5.0.17) With the „place image tool“ I can import pictures (jpg, png, ..) into my artboards (page 1 to page 4), that are arranged perfectly (as requested partly turned 180 degrees) in the main artboard (DIN-A4) – see attached file. Note: The artboard pages 1 to 4 are created as symbols; these symbols are arranged in the main artboard DIN-A4.

 

(look at: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22527-ad-leaflet-for-congratulations-din-a4-folded-to-din-a6).

 

But when I place a psd-file (the psd was created with CorelDraw), there will be a chaos: If I add a psd-picture (with the image tool) into one of my artboard-pages (page 1 to page 4), the picture will be shown in this page, but not in the main artboard (DIN-A4) – as it should be. When I pull this picture into another page, the chaos will start: there arise many many copies in the main artboard (see attached file „chaos“).

I added a psd-file, created with CorelDraw (1111.psd), to retrace this behavior.

 

Supplement: Same chaos, when I place a pdf with the place image tool (although this is not the meaning and purpose of the place image tool).

Hiya KoBu,

 

This is a bit, it initially just looks like some sort of redraw issue but they don't go away!

 

I'm going to poke this a bit further but i'll get it logged for the developers to look into :).

 

Thanks for reporting it.
