Altijd Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 First off, big ups on the beta, I'm loving it! I do have a suggestion: I would love (and haven't found) a way to create master pages with layers that you can place around the page's content. I know I can currently treat the master page content as a layer and put stuff on top of below, and copy/paste stuff out of it to appear above the content (copy, not drag as that alters the master page). I'd like to create a master page with two layers: a layer that defaults on top of the page content (where I can put watermark-like content) and a layer that defaults below of the content (where I can put stuff that may be obfuscated with page content, like the master defaults to now).

Staff Patrick Connor Posted August 31, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 31, 2018 @Altijd Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums You can apply 2 master pages to a page using drag for one and ctrl+drag for the second from the Master Pages studio to the page in question. Then in the layers tab add a new layer and sit it between your master pages. Then reorder using drag so one master page is on top and one is underneath the new layer. (Having elements on a page that are both above and below a layer goes against the draw hierachy and very unlikely to be implemented.)

Altijd Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 @Patrick Connor Thanks! Have been here for a few years, but up until now found everything I was looking for using the search function Thanks for your reply! This is almost exactly what I was looking for! Amazing (In case other people looking for this: Right clicking on a master page -> apply to pages and then unchecking 'Replace Existing' makes this easy to do for a great number of pages at once.) It might be a sweet addition to be able to denote if a master defaults to above or below the content. Maybe something like a 'watermark' checkbox that makes a master layer 'stick' to the top when adding a new layer? 13 minutes ago, Patrick Connor said: (Having elements on a page that are both above and below a layer goes against the draw hierachy and very unlikely to be implemented.) Yeah multiple layers, or in this case, multiple masters was what I meant all along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
