jacobhalton Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Is there a way to see the area that'll be in the bleed of an artboard? All I can seem to find is the "Show Bleed" option, which gives you the bleed lines, but it still hides objects that are outside of the artboard area. I assume there must be a way and I'm just missing it, as seeing what's within the bleed is super important for printing. CLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Possibly Serif should make the command View > Mode > "Clip to Canvas" being un-ticked as default factory setting.

jacobhalton Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Ah, thanks. I didn't see that option before. Unfortunately, I'm not able to select it for some reason ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaso Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 @Lee D, in what situations does the issue occur? And how can it be bypassed or avoided by the user? Would resetting the app to factory defaults work to get it selectable? I wonder because the issue does not appear on every computer: Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted August 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 12, 2019 It's due to an Artboard being used, if you don't, the Clip to Canvas option is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhalton Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 @Lee D If I can make a suggestion, it would be nice if the bleed was turned on by default for print files, and turned off by default for web and screen files. That'd match how Sketch App sets up their artboards. One of the reasons I'm trying to dive into Affinity is Sketch isn't friendly for print.

simonlayfield Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 @Lee D Are you able to confirm whether this bug is affecting bleed when exporting a PDF? I can't for the life of me get the bleed area to show to when exporting from Affinity Designer, and I'm sure it was working before. Include bleed + crop marks selected on export, but PDF shows artwork clipped to Artboard and crop marks aligned to the edge of the artwork, Affinity Designer 1.7.1, MacOS (App Store) Thanks.

Alinoz Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi, Just wanted to know if this has been fixed or if there is a workaround? I'm using the latest version as of today 15/4/21 Thanks Aleksandar Kovač 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
