Turettas Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 As for print production margins are essential, it would be great to get some improvements on these. If all margins do have the same size, it would be helpful just to enter one of them and carry it over to the other margins. This should be activatable by a tick as not every time all margins have the same size. When I activate margins, the size of the margins should be added to document size automatically depending on the entered value. This brings the advantage that the original page size is always visible, there are less calculation errors and it would become possible to export the document with and without margins. If margins are set, they should be visible on the page all the time. But there should be a view option to hide them if necessary. I think a good example how to handle margins could be Adobe Illustrator. Thanks for review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks for your suggestions. It sounds like you have a different way of working to what I am used to. If you are designing for print, say an A4 page, then how would including margins make the sheet of paper bigger? How does that last point, about margins being visible unless hidden, differ from what we do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe there is a confusion between margins and bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turettas Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 For designing a A4 for print, I add 2 mm all around (301x214mm) that the printer can cut these to the final size (297x210mm) after printing. However, sometimes the margins disappeared after I made a change in the document settings. That's right, AD shows currently the margins, I just thought someone doesn't want to show them all the time, so it could be helpful for those to hide the margin line.

Dave Harris Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You can hide margins by unticking View => Show Margins. Bleed is something we don't do yet, but we'll add it next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turettas Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Perfect, thanks. I guess when I would have searched with the correct term, I would have found it in feature requests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
