Place Affinity Designer ArtBoards in new document

[Afterlame 3]

Is there a way to place a specific ArtBoard form another Affinity Designer file into my document?

Currently I only get the first one.

Hi Afterlame,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Select the artboard you want in the Layers panel and copy it pressing ⌘ (cmd) + C or go to menu Edit ▸ Copy, then change to the document you want to place it and press ⌘ (cmd) + V or go to menu Edit ▸ Paste.

Thanks, that was quick! :)

 

But I think I did not phrase the question good enough. I don’t want to copy the artboard, I need to place it via File ▸ Place.

Placing it is important, because I don’t need to worry about changing anything by mistake and scaling the whole document.

 

In InDesign you can click on “Show import options”, while placing documents. From there you can choose a specify page.

That is pretty much what I am looking for.

Found it! :) It’s in the top bar.

 

Sorry for bothering you.

 

 

By the way: Your solution is way better.

Hi Afterlame,

Yes, if you want to embed a document in another then File ▸ Place is one way to do it. You can also drag the document from the Finder directly to the Affinity canvas or use the Image Place tool on the left toolbar. Glad to know you've sorted it out.
