JLion18 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 How can I get crop marks while working with artboards? I've added bleed to my document/artboards, but because artboards act like a mask, there is no way to extend my document to the bleed lines. Any ideas?

Old Bruce Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Just make the image larger. You won't see it on the Artboard but it will be there.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLion18 Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thank you for your help. I spent several hours trying to reduplicate what you had accomplished. It finally dawned on me not to use the Export Persona and to export one file at a time. At that point it worked. Is there a way to export multiple artboards at once with crop marks?

Old Bruce Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Perhaps, with a big caveat, you could open them in Publisher and export from there? I don't really know what it is you are trying to achieve, if you want the crop marks and can live without the bleed not showing using designer is possible but if you want the bleed showing you'll need to try using publisher. Just open your *.afdesign file in Publisher and try the different settings (convert Artboards to spreads first) Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.
