Chris26 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 As per example image here, I would like to reduce the visibility of the artboard area, on this particular ]project it would make it easier to visualize the page without seeing what would not appear on the page. I did search the help but found no information on the artboard, so is it possible to do please?

Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed. Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener. Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris26 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Thankyou Garry. I simply did not think about looking at "View" drop down.

GarryP Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 You’re welcome. It can be difficult to know where to look if you don’t know the name of the thing you are looking for or even what sort of thing it is. (I often come across the same problem myself.)

If you are working on an artboard the content will always be clipped.

With a smile, a frown, a confused glance and a weak analytical attempt to understand your comment........Canvas and artboard are interchangeable concepts in my outdated brain dictionary, snce I am not from a Design background at all, just photography and publisher. May I ask what you meant? Unless, (he says hesitantly) unless by clipped you meant "Not Shown" then I assume the artboard means the area off the page?

When you create a new document in AD you get a canvas by default, with an option to create an artboard instead. If you add one or more artboards to the document it will consist of nothing but artboards. The area “off the page” (i.e. surrounding the canvas) is the pasteboard.

Thanks, that is good to know (I do not have AD, but I am thinking about it so that helps).
