Can anyone explain why it is not possible to see the same information in the Transform tab when using either the Move Tool or the Node Tool?

10.11.3

I'll leave that one up to AD's geeks!

I wanted to avoid that because I now to go through the tiresome process of selecting View>Studio each time I want to choose a pallet. I once asked the developers why 'Studio' couldn't be left open until you have selected all the the pallets you want to use then close it.

I am in the process of setting up a second monitor. I wanted to use this to display my Studio pallets. I dragged the Layers tab over but now I can't move it at all because the top of the top of the tab is above the menu bar. How do I get out of this ?

RC-R perfectly describes the problem. Thanks too for your input Crabtree. I shall report it as a bug.

This is a recurring problem and defies replication. When I try to drag either a horizontal or vertical guide I often get a blue box envelope. If I keep trying sometimes I get a guide line. It makes no difference if I am on the page or on the background. I closed down AD in the hope that this would cure it and it did for a little while and then it started again. What's going on?

If I copy the way you describe I still get the same problem. Just to be safe I closed down AD and re-opened it and I still get the same problem. This has happened to me before a long time ago and I reported it to Serif.

Having ticked the 'Scale' box why has the purple blur, in the background not scaled down in the reduced version?

The first screen shot is a copy of the document on the second screen shot and pasted on to a new document. Why has the colour changed?

I think I will have to concentrate more when considering this option! This is similar to what happens when you crop a picture.

Trust me to spot a problem! The 'Child' indent is not something I would have noticed as being relevant however it does explain why I did observe it in previous works. To fully understand this am I right in assuming that a 'Child' layer cannot be edited on its own like any other layer?

That's OK if it going to help someone else. In you video why is the second rectangle white and not pink?

OK. So the rule of thumb is to always have the object or group to be cut positioned above the layer containing the cutter. Am I using the right jargon?

Wunderbar! All I had to do was reverse the stacking order? This was the one thing I didn't try. Has this always been like that or was there an update change?

I'm trying to use the black line to trim off the overlapping grey objects. Its been a while since I have used this feature - either I have forgotten how to do it or its not working. I am dragging the layer with the line down onto the layer with the grouped objects until I see a blue vertical line. If I drag the layer until I see a horizontal blue line then something happens but not what I want. Cut out.afdesign

Good man!

The blue box ONLY appears when click the Move tool on the rule. The black box does not disappear if I zoom - it only disappears if I am able to successfully drag a guide. It doesn't happen all the time - only most of the time. Does it help that I have had AD open for a few days without closing down? I will close down AD and I expect the problem to go away. However before I do is there anything else you would like me to try?

One screen shot shows the blue envelope with the black size box and the other screen shot shows the black box left behind after releasing the mouse button.

Sorry I should have said that I was using the Move tool. Isn't the move tool the only way to drag guides?

Just lately when I try to drag a guide from either top or left I get a rectangular blue envelope with a small black size box shown. When I release the mouse button the envelope disappears but the black size box remains. I may try several times before I do get a guide. Is this a bug?

Yes but can you do that with my file?

That's what I was doing. If you move the Colour tab to the right it sticks to the Styles tab. If you then move it to the left it drags the all the other tabs with it. You can only un-stick it if you move the Styles tab first. Sticky Colour tab.afdesign

How do I 'un-stick' adjacent tabs?

Amazing! Since I have never been able to successfully export my 'Styles and Profiles' from an old version to a new version I did exactly what you have just described - I created a document with all my different pressure profiles. As time goes by I expect to add to them changing stroke thicknesses etc.
