frankyfranky Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I want to CUT the background and deal with the complex contents. (I can't do it without first remove the background) In illustrator, I can cut and paste in place, so that the location of background remains the same. I could find the same function in Designer. If I just PASTE it (cmd+v), it will paste in the centre of the artboard while I was working outside the artboard ... any suggestions?

R C-R Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 If I understand correctly what you want to do, just select & drag the background layer completely off the artboard.

frankyfranky Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 Thank you for your prompt reply I just said goodbye to the whole CS6 and move to serif family. TOP: [very complex elements] Bottom: I want to: 1) CUT the background matt; then 2) play with the complex elements, then 3) PASTE the background matt at the exact location (x,y) <<<< problem here!!!!!!!! 4) arrange it to the back because, if I use CMD+V, the background matt will paste at the centre of the artboard, instead of the location I CUT. It is the "paste in place" = where i cut it, where it place back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I think all you need to do is select the background layer, move it to the bottom of the layer stack, & hide it until you are finished editing the other layers.

To me it in Affinity CMD-V pastes always in place. While I am working outside an artboard then it will be pasted in place, too. But on an artboard again. paste in place.m4v Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankyfranky Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) That's what I mean in the video below. Screen Recording 2019-10-12 at 19.03.23.mov Yes, I can find that element out of the layers interface and then hide it. but, just asking for something used to do pS: It is very good that this forum permits to upload video!! thumb UP! PS2: how can i embed the video with player? Screen Recording 2019-10-12 at 19.03.23.mov Edited October 12, 2019 by frankyfranky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I am not able to reproduce this paste offset. – Could you show it in a video + layers panel + just 3 objects only + on a smaller artboard? ps: the video player is in the readers system/browser. No need to embed. pps: if you delete in your post an object from the text it is NOT deleted form the post! To avoid a deleted item appear in your post you must delete it in the area below: there click on the bin icon in its squared preview pict.

frankyfranky Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) I can reproduce it when I work outside the artboard. But I can't reproduce it when I work inside it ...
