Konstantinos Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 In 1.7 I could use this feature to place better algned opjects with text. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me but it is not the same thing ... Do you know any way to revert to previous version? I really am sorry I updated ...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2019 Affinity designer and Affinity Photo aren't meant to have baseline grid features. The toolbar button after upgrading to 1.7.0 that some customers saw was a mistake firstdefence 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Konstantinos Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 @Patrick thank you for your honest answer ... may I know the reason for that? I have all the versions of affinity in osx and ipad and I am a beta tester of publisher and thinking of buying ... but I am tvery sorry if you remove a feature for marketing reasons only ...

Absolutely, and the ADe & APh 1.7.0 update replaced the snapping button on the main toolbar with a baseline grid button from Publisher Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2019 It was not a marketing decision. The snapping options are core to the application and accidentally got replaced with a bottom from Publisher. As there's a shared codebase this looked deliberate, but I assure you that it was not Friksel 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 @Patrick Connor I notice that there is a "Snap to Baseline" check-box option under the Snapping button in Designer and Photo. Is that an error, or is there some way of setting baseline grids in Designer and Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2019 Error, reported a while ago. I think it should only show if you open a publisher document in designer/photo Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Konstantinos Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 can you help me on setting up a horizontal only grid then in affiniy designer please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Ah. I see. There do seem to be some difficult design decisions for the team building this suite of apps that share a common file format, wherein documents are expected to be round-tripped between the various apps in the suite. I suppose a baseline grid set in Publisher would be honored somehow by Designer and Photo in spite of the fact that those apps don't offer a direct way set, enable, or disable the baseline grid.

Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 @Konstantinos If I were you, I would do one of two things: a) hang your text frames from the same hang line and make sure that the leading for you body copy is constant (use a paragraph style) b) if you require some kind of grid, go into the Grid and Axis Manager and set up the major spacing and subdivisions to suit the intended leading of your body copy.

Konstantinos Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 especially now that the new way to set up a grid system in Affinity Designer is .... let’s say .... under construction. Because after the 1.7 I can not set up a proper grid ... baseline was a great alternative to that for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konstantinos Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Can I use Affinity publisher with the same file as affinity Designer so to setup my grid in there and Designer see it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 @Konstantinos I suspect many things will become clearer once Publisher is launched on Wednesday. Having said that, the three applications in the Affinity Suite share the same file format. You will be able to start a document in one application and then open the document in another application for editing. If baseline grids are important to your design workflow, it appears that you would need to compose your pages in Publisher.

Exactly so, there is nothing to stop you adding a baseline grid in Publisher, and reopening in Designer or Photo which understand the feature (that they cannot apply directly) Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
