robert pastrana Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi Everyone - I'm trying to draw a mosaic of different colored squares. I made bunch of squares, duped them, aligned them and changed their colors. I had trouble with some if the alignments but I can work that out. I've noticed that some of my squares have a thin red outline round them, even though their is no stroke. It's like the app is trying to tell me something but I don't understand :) I'm a bit new to working in vector - I know bits and pieces of various vector programs and am self taught. I looked around for answers but haven't found anything yet. I would love to stick this one out! Any answers? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bravery Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi robertpastrana, Welcome to the forum. :) That line shows up when your pointer is hovering over (mouse-over) an object in your file. Hope this helps. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert pastrana Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi Paul - Thanks for your answer - are you sure? I had a few of my squares have the red outline at the same time... they were all in different places and each was it's own separate entity.

Paul Bravery Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi robertpastrana, I also think it has something to do with which layer is active. They appear to relate to the bounding boxes of each square object. I'm not at my Mac to illustrate what I mean but I'm sure that someone else will have a better explanation. I guess the main point is that if the lines do not print or appear in an exported PDF, then it's nothing to really worry about. Paul.

Hi robertpastrana, It's a feature for showing 'snapping candidates'. It can be turned off if you wish, see attached screen shots: Hope this helps, Paul.

robert pastrana Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks so much! Off to make sense of the snapping settings. I've never bothered with them in any of the other apps I've used outside of the default settings. Ok, off to make my next batch of mistakes :) Thanks again!
