ConnectCreative Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have a document with x2 master pages - one A4, the other 10mm wider at 220mm x 297. When I either create a new page (selecting the relevant master) or drag a Master on to page to change it properties, the size of the page does not change. I assumed if I had a master set at a certain size, dragged it on to a page, the page would use the size of the master applied? Small video to show what I mean: https://www.loom.com/share/25ec5e34b32f42cd87a951d4a46b5525 Assume I'm going about this the wrong way?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Jon P Posted April 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 17, 2019 It isn't designed to work like this at the moment I'm afraid. We do currently have a feature request in to add this behaviour, and I'll give it a nudge. Thanks Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of assumed that's precisely what Master Pages are for, if they don't amend the size then its not really a Master Page so hopeful this gets added before the release.

If you apply multiple master pages to a page and they have different sizes then which one wins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea you can apply more than one master to one page? How does that work? Which one takes precedence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fde101 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Yep, and that way you can for example have one master page at the bottom of the layer stack and another at the top. You can also copy and paste the master layers from one page to another but I'm not sure yet if that is a good approach or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
