Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 When I invoke the Guides Manager in Designer 1.7.1 to set up column guides, I notice that the Margins fields do not accept changed values. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 This is what I"m experiencing. (1.7.1 via the Mac App Store) MarginsError.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 UPDATE: Apparently documents that include Artboards prevent one from adjusting Margins – both in the Guides Manager and in the Document Setup command. Should this be considered a bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Try starting Designer with the control key held down until you see the Clear User Data screen. Keep the first (top) three items checked and hit clear, you will have to reset some stuff in Preferences but this gets rid of all the cruft that has built up. What you see is what was happening in a beta version a while back. Lord I had that turned off for some unremembered reason. Yes it is a bug and still with us sadly.

Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 @Old Bruce I followed your tip on clearing user data, but that did not resolve the issue. The issue appears to be related to whether or not one has established an Artboard. If one has an Artboard, one cannot edit page margins in either Guides Manager or Document Setup. Nor can one change the page orientation in Document Setup. Seems to be a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCFC_4Heatons Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Hi - anyone found a solution for this I'm experiencing this issue in the latest 1.7.2 .471 Windows version of Designer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Oehlschlager Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 @MCFC_4Heatons I've just checked with my 1.7.2 version of Designer. The bug I was experiencing seems to be quashed. I'm now able to set margins in the Guides Manager – even when there is an artboard. However, I've discovered a new bug: fractional inches round to the nearest tenth of an inch. If I enter a margin of 0.25 inches, the Guides Manager rounds the figure to 0.3, even though the margin is correctly placed at 0.25 inches. My application preferences show that my inches are supposed to show up to three decimal places. Very weird and disconcerting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFC_4Heatons Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Hi Mark - you're on Mac I see... so it looks like its been fixed for Mac version but on Windows version of Designer 1.7.2 I still can't set margins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
