abra100pro Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Studio > Panels When selecting the (huge) characters panel it shows a tiny bit and a scrollbar instead of decreasing the size of the others (like Layers,..) - I have to doubleclick the layers-panel to make it smaller and when using the layers panel again I have to doubleclick the characters panel each time. AD 1.6 was much better, here. Masked elements This is a huge pita - sorry, to say so. In every Adobe app (and others, too) it is so much easier! Please adapt this! I'm talking about: Resizing the mask without the image resizing the image without the mask (lock children - not a good solution imho) duplicate a masked image with children locked leads to an empty double - logically but absolutely not intuitive/fast why not just doubleclick a masked element to either change its image/content or the mask? So much easier/faster than everything else. Scaling There is a huge mess imho at the moment (and everywhere) in using shift or not to proportionally scale elements. Please make it consistent either this or that - images are without, shapes are with shift - a UX-calamity. My suggestion: shift = prop. scaling everywhere. Shapes Why not make one Rectangle-tool that always has handles inside near all corners to drag and turn it into a rounded rectangle - Adobe XD has this and you don't believe how incredibly fast this is to work with. Especially when trying out layouts and not be forced to delete a rectangle to replace it with a rounded one. Shortcuts Yes, again: alt/option is substracting, scaling from center and duplicating things by dragging, shift is add, scale proportinally, draw perfectly in horicontal, vertical, diagonal directions. This makes sense and works in all recognized Mac apps the same way. AFAIK there is no such consistency in Windows - so why not set a mark for them, too? Export When in Designer persona and exporting several artboards to a PDF at once there should be a page per artboard, now they are distributed over the pages in a way that makes never ever sense.

If you're commenting that the beta is doing something worse from the retail version, you should comment in the appropriate beta forum.

Exporting from the Designer Persona you get one PDF file with 1 page per Artboard. On the other hand, if you try to create a PDF from the Export Persona you get one PDF page with all the Artboards on it. But the Export Persona is intended to produce individual files from Slices, not a consolidated PDF file, so you just need to choose the right tool (Persona) for the output you want.

abra100pro Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Sorry, I messed this completely: When I PRINT a File with several Artboards I expect each Artboard on one Page. What happens is something that makes only sense when I choose Scale to fit as sort of a contact sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
