davedesigner Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I was hoping that the last in the Affinity Trio "Publisher" had a true pasteboard (the area outside of the document) to behave in a similar fashion to other Page make-up Apps. I find that I frequently need to place things outside the document boundaries for re-use later or just storage for notes on the document. I'd like to setup guidelines that can outside placed (and be seen) outside the document boundary so bleed items can quickly "snap" them. Or a neat ideas would to just make the bleed "snap"? Here's an example of a typical QuarkXpress template I frequently re-use. See the off page bleed guides? Having a black surround is all very well for a slick looking app but we're here for work and need to see and use the outside space of a document. Is there a valid reason why the pasteboard must be hidden? Quote http://www.davidowendesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted October 1, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi davedesigner, Sorry the delay getting back to you. Assuming you have a document with bleed already set up (File ▸ Document Setup..., Bleed tab), go to menu View ▸ Show Bleed to display the bleed, make sure Snapping is enabled - the magnet icon in the main toolbar - (note Snap to spread must be ticked in the Snapping Options) to be able to snap to the bleed and View ▸ View Mode ▸ Clip to Canvas is unticked to be able to see objects placed in the pasteboard area.

I just got Affinity Designer. I 100% agree with you. When i was designing in Adobe Illustrator CC i mostly designed on the pasteboard before i placed my graphic on the art-board. I use the pasteboard as sort of my pallet to test things out, and design. Also it would be great if Affinity Designer can have the guide lines go past the art-board and for it to bee seen on the paste-board.

Kevin Jacobs Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Im having a few problems printing out multiple art-boards. Tried all configurations in the print dialog box but no success. Anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Jacobs Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 It would be great on the next up dates on Affinity Designer to add a cut or scissors tool like Illustrator. My The other suggestion is not to make it that when you use the grid background that the solid opaque fill shape doesn't turn transparent when viewing on the art board. Its very distracting.
