walt.farrell Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 While experimenting, I created a new document, then looked at the Text Frame panel, which showed, as I expected, no stroke by default: I then created a Table and assigned a rose-colored gradient to the stroke of the table frame via the Table Panel: I then looked at the Text Frame panel again, and found that my stroke assignment for the table carried over to the settings for Text Frames: As those are two different tools, I don't think that should have happened. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

carl123 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It will work the other way around as well. i.e. if you change the text frame settings the table settings will reflect that change. I've mentioned before that Tables act like Text Frames at times and I'm thinking that Tables may have been designed around Text Frames rather than completely new Table code added to Publisher. It's also mentionable that the Thumbnail for a Table is the same Thumbnail as a Text Frame in the layers panel To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michail Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I also think it's intentional. The layer control panel is a clear hint. In InDesign, for example, tables are also based on the Text tool. In front of the text frame are the outer boundaries of the outer table cells, which can have a different color than the overall frame. This also indicates that the base frame is a text frame.

Chris_K Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 This is something I already have reported to the development team. I think it would be much better if they were separate walt.farrell 1 Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
