MmmMaarten Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I just used the website gridcalculator.dk to create a design grid and export it to AI to open in Designer (or Photo). But when opening the created file Affinity immediately crashes and directly closes the software. Not sure what's wrong here, if it's a problem inside the AI-file or something Designer doesn't like inside the file. Can't see if this file works within Illustrator. And I obviously cannot view the file in Designer to see what's wrong, because the software kills itself on opening. But at least Designer is not suppose to crash on opening a file. Here is the link with my exact settings: http://gridcalculator.dk/#/1080/12/20/20 . The AI is in the attachment. grid.ai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MmmMaarten Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 It also crashes in the newer 1.7.1 version (tested in 1.7.1.404) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 confirmed that the files from gridcalculator.dk crash Affinity Designer. I'm not sure the file will work for you even if it did import correctly - as the grid is constructed with guides and they are not imported into Affinity Designer. The document can be set up in Designer though. Start a new document and use your document size - Document Units: Pixels - Dimensions: 1076 px x 700 px - DPI: 96 - click OK With the new document open go to the top Menu Bar and click - View - Guides Manager On the Guides window - Under the Column Guides enter: Columns: 12 - Style: Outline Rows: 1 Gutter: 20 px Margins: Left: 20 px - Right: 20px press the close button. Be sure to enable Snapping using the Magnet Icon. hope that helps MmmMaarten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it's easy to setup a document with a grid indeed, but found that site and just tested it out for fun and than found this bug so reported it. Could be a nice online tool to create a grid file though, well, if it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted June 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 27, 2019 Thanks for the file wigglepixel. I'll get it passed on to development to see if they can look into it. Interestingly on Mac it opens but as a 0x0 document! MmmMaarten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
