In the latest version of Dimesion (3.0.3) when I apply a graphic (.ai file with multiple artboards) as Decal, changing the artboard, change also the decal applyed ad the background.
In Stager, the same feature works correctly, I think it's a bug of Dimension.
See the workflow in the 3 steps here attacched.
One artboard is for the grafic background and another for the logo, but changing the artboard, they change together.
The only work around is to place a different Illustrator file! But I have all the artboards in the same file and in the previous version this operation worked well.
Thank you for your reply.

For me Latest Stager shows the same result as Dimension 4.0.3. They both work in same manner for AI files with two artboards. For different Ai files it works fine and I can repeat your action.

Hi Ares, the Illustrator file is the same, but I want use different artboards (of the same file) ONE as decal and ONE as pattern on the background.
The problem is: changing the artboard, BOTH of them change. In the previous version was possible to change only one and keep the other....I hope you understand what I mean.
Let me know.
Thanks again for your help.

Yes I catch your problem. Dn and Stager change fill and decal simultaneously as in your video< Therefore the solution is to use different Ai files. But for bitmaps its works fine as they are not generated from one source file.

Hi Ares, thank you for your reply.
My disappointment stems from the fact that, in previous versions, you could use the same file as a decal and as a fill, choosing a different artboard and not inserting different files.
Now I am forced to split Illustrator drawing boards!
In my opinion all unnecessary work. 😞

This is not a solution, it's just a way to work around the problem. A problem that didn't exists previously.

I agree with you, in the 3.4.11 it works perfectly. But Adobe doesn't care about bugs.... 😞
