mmuller Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I may be late to the party but just noticed that text wrapping doesn't respect text frame layering. If you have a layer in the middle of two others - the wrapping is applied to both the layer below (correct imho) and also the layer above (incorrect imho). I have added a video to show what I mean.

mmuller Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Okay found that you can add the 'Ignore text wraps' toggle from the text wrap menu to get the kind of functionality I expected for the upper most layer. But this breaks instantly if you need to add another wrap on top to get multi layered wrapping on multiple text boxes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Not sure that this is the best solution, but you can Edit Wrap Outline on your middle Text Frame, such that the top repels text, but the bottom doesn't. Edit Wrap Outline in on the toolbar next to Show Text Wrap Settings, or Text > Text Wrap > Edit Wrap Outline. See attached for an example… Affinity Edit Wrap Outline Example.afpub Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuller Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 @Aammppaa, its a fudge but it works and would be hard to manage when moving items around and changing layers. Out of the box,I would have thought text wrapping should honour the layering of the items and each one should only affect the layers below, not above...

Aammppaa Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Tend to agree, but am no expert so hope others with more experience will weigh in.

Dave Harris Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 This was an oversight; it should be fixed in a future beta. Patrick Connor and Aammppaa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
