Albo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I am having this strange issue. In designer I have both vector and pixel layers. I draw a vector shape and move it under my pixel layer. If I select the shape to move it it will jump back to the top? I can move it back down but it will not stay under the pixel layer. Also seem's to be acting like a mask. moving_layer.mov Quote iMac mid-2017 3,6 Ghz / 32G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 13, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi @Albo, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is by design. You are moving an object/layer to outside the Artboard layer (plan de travail) in the Layers panel, however on the canvas that object still remains over ("belongs to") the Artboard. If you move/edit it a little on canvas it's corresponding layer moves automatically back to inside the respective Artboard layer. Same happens if you move an object on canvas from one artboard to another - its layer will also move from the original artboard layer where it was to the new artboard layer in the Layers panel.

Old Bruce Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If 'Plan de travail' translates to Artboard then what is happening is the Corbe layer is being taken out of an artboard and placed in a non-artboard space with x y co-ordinates that make it appear to be in/on the Plan de Travail1 then when it is selected and moved a bit it is thinking to itself "I am being placed on an artboard" and leaping into it.

Albo Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Thank you. I hadn't noticed I was moving outside the art board. I simply moved everything inside. Quote iMac mid-2017 3,6 Ghz / 32G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
