hujikoda Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm not sure if the title is really clear... I tried to find the answer in a previous thread but I couldn't get any. I actually a a file where I create all the différents files. I make them from 6 différents artworks as here: But, since these are a going to be (more or less, sometimes yes, sometimes no) together later on, I would like to see quickly how it looks. So what I would like to do is for instance to have a "display artwork" where I could actually have everything together, but each on being edited in its own artwork. So it would look like something like this: Please don't judge me, these screenshots are for the example hahaha I don't know if I made myself clear... If I didn't I'd be happy to give more details Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 1, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi hujikoda, Welcome to Affinity Forums You didn't specify which application you are using. I'm assuming you are creating this in Affinity Designer. If so you can use an artboard for each artwork piece (they can all have different dimensions) and have them all in the same affinity file.

Yes I forgot to say it was on Affinity Designer. And my bad again, I meant artboard when I said artwork... I just changed the language of affinity in English so I can understand more easily what you guys are explaining^^ still got to be used to the words.. Here is the screenshot with some colours: red=original artboard, yellow=the "display artboard" and green the clones of original artboards duplicated on the display artboard to have a better idea of the final look. Makes sense? ^^ I hope so, I don't know how to explain better... 20 hours ago, Pšenda said: Artboard + Symbols. What do you mean by Symbols?

hujikoda Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Merci Alfred! Sweet of you to send me the instruction in French It works perfectly fine! One last concern though. Than I create a symbol from an artboard, it just duplicates the artboard and the content of it becomes synchronised (yellow arrows). The problem is that it is rather confusing in my layer and I renamed one "symbol" so I don't get confuse (although there is no hierarchy between them). It creates a symbol only from objects (or group of object). It is not possible to have the symbol for a artboard (or maybe I am doing it wrong) Thanks for your answer quick an efficient and sorry that I didn't find it myself the the help section...

firstdefence Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 You can create Artboard Assets by dragging them to the Assets Panel; to show the Assets Panel go to (View > Studio > Assets), on Mac you can just drag and drop them, I don't think Windows users can do this, so, if you are a Windows user you will need to use the Burger Menu and choose Add From Selection. Tip: Add a rectangle the size of the Artboard to see the Artboard in the Assets Panel otherwise it will not show, you can always hide or delete the rectangle as you place an Asset in the workspace. hujikoda and Alfred 2 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
