Canvas and baseboard display issue

[simonk]

I'm using 6.4.2.

Creating a custom baseboard, it's 169" x 108" with 11 further corner points added. This seems to work fairly well, I can see that I've added the points with their respective x.y coordinates in the Element display box. I'm being totally stumped by the fact that the default canvas size is 144, 80 despite I have "auto size canvas" selected in preferences.

I didn't tell the program what the canvas size is, just the baseboard. The canvas size means that I can't view my baseboard or edit it easily (I'm not sure which point I'm editing). I can't scroll. Very very frustrating, what am I doing wrong?

Just to add, that as a work around I just manually sized the canvas to fit my baseboard in the "documents" panel. It's a work around but still means the auto size doesn't work.

Hi Simon,

You can adjust the canvas size in the Document tab in the sidebar to the right?

Hope this helps,
Jan

Jan,

Yes, I did manually add the canvas size. This has been successful.
