eswany33 Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 I've been using Designer for the better part of three years now and have run into almost no problems, but I can't for the life of me figure out why this project is not letting me spread these files out like I normally do. I have never had a problem with auto-spacing, and you can see in the clip that it does the spread just fine when I select the other groups. Clearly it's something to do with this one group in maroon, but I have no idea what it is. I recreated that group and pasted it into the document and got the same result. ??? Thanks for your help! af designer spread not working.mov Quote
firstdefence Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 The first thing I have noticed is the maroon shirt isn't horizontally aligned, it sits slightly higher than the rest. Is there any element within the maroon shirt that is clipped and actually goes outside the bounds of the shirt shape? Can you upload an example file with say the maroon shirt and 4 blanks shirts?

eswany33 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 There are a couple elements that go outside the edges, but they are all clipped by the shirt mask. It's confusing because I did all the other ones the same way and have run into no issues. I have uploaded a project file with 4 of the shirts in it. Thanks. spacing issue test.afdesign Quote
firstdefence Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Hi if I use the Alignment menu option I get what you get, if I use the distribute menu option I get what I assume you want. distribute objects in AD.mp4 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

carl123 Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Even though you have masked/clipped them, the 6 items selected below all extend far beyond the shirt's (left-hand) boundaries. When doing the aligning these "extensions" are making the Maroon shirt appear much wider than it appears on screen, hence the alignment is wrong. Not sure if that should be considered a bug or not, but you should be able to correct it quite easily Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
firstdefence Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 On the Maroon shirt, if you turn off the stripes on the arm it appears to spread better. Beat me carl lol!
