Tom Schülke Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I just dived into the settings of the Grid- and Axis- Manager.. so i found out there are great ways now to create rows and Colums also with gutters.. but it allways seems to start out from the left upper corner of the Page.. I also moved the Ruler Origin.. but this didnt have any influence on the Grid and Axis.. so the questin of course is, if i can move also the origin of my grid and axis ? for example to the center of the page, so i get even distribution on both pages.... possible ? By the way... using fixed length doesnt allways do the job very well.. what we often want rather... take that length.... i point you to... and devide it by 5... and than use folowing gutters... Thats rather how most of us think wen we design a page dont we ? so my suggestion would be.. first make the origin point for the Grid and Snappings movable.. secound, let us point to a fixed length... and tell the program to devide it by... x plus gutters. if needed... third.. maybe a Grid and Axis " Object", like a Square we can position like a square and then devite it with Objectinternal Axises and devisions and gutters... this way we also could use what ever axis on each page seperated if wanted or needed.. pcote 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 29, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi Tom Schülke, No, this is not possible currently and affects all Affinity apps. It's already logged and assigned to a developer. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be really happy with just the first suggestion being implemented and I have no objection to the others too, all good great ideas.

pcote Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hi Affinity Team, I also have the same problem! I was about to submit that as a bug: But well, since you acknowledged, it’s all good. Hope you can fix that soon, this is almost a roadblock for working correctly. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this is now possible in .157 - enable "Show axis editing handles" in the Grid and Axis manager and you can drag to move the grid origin. Sweet!

Below the 'Show Grid' checkbox I see 'Use automatic grid'. I am confused. d.
