Grids behavior in file with several artboards

[pavel.frolov]

I don't know whether it is a bug or a feature, but grids work in an unexpected way. I created a new file, created several artboards that have the same grid, and it doesn't align properly with the (0;0) point of them. Looks like the grid start point snaps to the absolute zero of a canvas (don't know how to call it, it's the point that's placed in the top left corner of the whole workspace). It doesn't matter where the axis editing handles are placed.

Hi Pavel,

This is a bug specific to Windows and a regression over 1.6 - I shall get it reported to development. Thanks for letting us know!

We have made fixes/improvements to Artboard grid display in the latest Windows customer beta. Sorry this issue has taken so long to get resolved properly. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below.

The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts.

• Affinity Photo 1.8.0.532 for Windows
• Affinity Designer 1.8.0.532 for Windows
• Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.535 for Windows

These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version. #when using beta builds, please work on copies of your files, as 1.8.0 uses a more advanced version of the file format than 1.7.3

Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.
