Dominique_R Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 When you drag guides into your document, sometimes you want to reset the origin of the measurements to align it with one guide, or with an intersection. In Photoshop, you do this by dragging from the small square that's at the origin of the rulers, but when I do rthis in Affinity, it doesn't work. How can I reset the origin of my measurements to somewhere within my document, based on guides I have created? Many thanks in advance.

Dominique_R Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Oh. Bummer. Should be simple enough to implement in a future version, though, I will post a suggestion in the dedicated part of the forum. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarituulia Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Any updates on this feature now after almost a year? This would be badly needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It's available in the Publisher beta, which is part of the 1.7 version of the Affinity products. The 1.7 beta versions of Photo and Designer should be available soon, and perhaps they'll also include this.

Joachim_L Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hold the mouse button and drag the origin whereever you want. To reset, click where the vertical and horizontal rulers meet. dragorigin.mp4 Alfred 1 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works everywhere (retail, beta) on Windows.
