Pšenda Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yes, that's how it should be - the new object is placed on top of the stack.

I'm not sure what you mean by "moving an object on a layer". Generally each object is its own layer. Can you provide some screenshots, or a video?

Staff MEB Posted July 29, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hi keiichi77, Any objects located/placed above an artboard on the canvas will be added to the artboard layer if you move them. This is by design. If you want to keep them outside the artboard layer but still located above the artboard on canvas disable Edit All Layers on the bottom left of the Layers panel. Note however that you only be able to select objects from the current selected layer (or from the root of the layers stack if you are working with objects placed directly on the root of the layers stack) when you disable this option (unless you select the objects from the Layers panel directly). keiichi77 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiichi77 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 omg, it is just a simple auto-parenting kind of thing. at least now I understand what happens, and I can avoid it. Thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
