Diavel222 Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Hello, I am changing my document that I've been working on from the "Press" document type at 1440px by 900px to "Press" with the unit changed to inches, with an 11in width and 8in height. Once I do the conversion though, I get a strange purple square that covers by artwork around the perimeter of the document space, even in exported files. Any idea where this coming from? Thank you for the help! -Alan Quote
Staff Callum Posted December 15, 2016 Staff Posted December 15, 2016 Hi Alan Raterink, Welcome to the Forums :) This purple box is your page margin that has been defined in the New Document Window (see attached) To hide it you can go to View > Show Margin :) C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
Alfred Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 I wouldn't expect the margin to show up in an exported file. :huh: Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
R C-R Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 I wouldn't expect the margin to show up in an exported file. :huh: And for me on a Mac, AP shows the margins as a blue-grey, not purple outline. Also, I noticed that resetting the margins with the Document > Margins... menu choice does not accept a changed setting in one field unless I tab or click into another margin field before clicking "OK" & that using the "Retrieve margin from Printer" option produces weird results, like the margin outline jumping partly outside the canvas as if I had set some negative value for one of the margin settings.
