How do you change the size of the artboard in Affinity Designer?

You can change the size of the artboard in Affinity Designer using the Artboard Tool or the Transform panel. Here's how:

Method 1: Using the Artboard Tool or Move Tool

1. Select the Artboard: Ensure you have the artboard you want to resize selected. You can use either the Artboard Tool (found in the Tools panel) or the Move Tool (the arrow icon).

2. Drag the Handles: Once the artboard is selected, you'll see selection handles (small squares) around its edges. Click and drag these handles to resize the artboard to your desired dimensions.

Method 2: Using the Transform Panel

1. Select the Artboard: As before, select the artboard you wish to resize.

2. Open the Transform Panel: If the Transform panel isn't visible, go to Window > Transform to open it.

3. Adjust Width and Height: In the Transform panel, locate the "W" (width) and "H" (height) fields. Enter the desired width and height values for your artboard. Press Enter to apply the changes.

Important Considerations:

• Content Scaling: When resizing the artboard, the content within it will not automatically scale. If you want the content to scale proportionally with the artboard, you'll need to scale the content separately using the Move Tool, or use the artboard tool and select "Scale with Artboard" in the context toolbar.
• Units: Make sure you are using the correct units (pixels, inches, etc.) in the Transform panel. You can change the document units in File > Document Setup.
