i figured out how to view objects that are not on the canvas, by deselecting "clip to canvas". but how do i do this when working with artboards? i WANT to see what's not on the artboard. i always have artwork off the canvas/artboard. that's how i work. i don't understand why AD has this option. in graphics software, you always see what isn't on the artboard.

When I add a new artboard, the canvas/workspace (what do you call it?) turns pale grey. i want it to remain dark grey. this doesn't happen in the video.

affinity doesn't create new layers. i click on the add layer icon and nothing happens. it's always been like this. thanks

Ok, thanks MEB.

i just noticed that this happens in CMYK, but not RGB.

i've just opened AD since the update and noticed that the background colour is not white, but instead an off-white, light beige colour. has anyone else noticed this and is this a default setting that can be changed? thanks.

quick update, as promised. everything is working ok. thanks again.

will do. thanks, leigh. (and everyone in the team)

ok, i did that and everything seems to be working ok. i've only selected and deselected objects, checked/unchecked view layers and open and closed the application. but it's working ok now. i'll have a go at creating some new artwork and using the gradient fill (that's when it started playing up. i don't know if i did something weird). i'll let you know either way. thanks again, leigh.

ok, i opened the file with no problems. at first, the objects had the selection line around them. then i selected the text and the line disappeared. in the screenshot (Elipse Selected), you can see at the bottom of AD window, that the object is selected. also, the layers panel is showing that the text layer is selected, though it's actually the ellipse tool that is selected. the other thing is, if i uncheck the view layer box, the tick remains, even though the image is hidden. (screenshot Layers Checkbox). thanks, leigh

i'm using Lion 10.7.5. i'll try the files and get back to you. thanks

i don't know. i haven't fiddled with anything since it came out of the box. i don't understand all that techy stuff. i clicked on one of the screenshots and it did seem big. the other odd thing is that, although i can select and move an object, there is no line around the selected object.

thanks leigh and MEB. i just figured it out and added my screenshots in another post.

ok, i figured out how to add screenshots. Blank Studio: shows that all the info in studio has disappeared. Blank AD: shows that a file has been opened 'Construction_02'. Desktop: shows one of my files is selected in Finder. No Layers: shows that even though there is artwork, there is no layer showing in the Studio panel.

sorry. you asked whether it happens with all my files. at first, it will happen with one or two, then when i go back and open a file that was fine, that becomes blank too.
