pomme27 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I am using Affinity Designer 1.4. Whenever I draw a shape, a faint outline appears around the shape. You can see this in the attached example of a square and a circle. It's terribly annoying when drawing complex shapes. I assume there is a setting somewhere where I can turn this off? Attached is the .afdesign file containing the example, and a PNG screen print of the same file. If you don't see the faint outlines in the .afdesign file, then clearly there is something wrong on my end! Thanks Test.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sorry.... this is what I see. No idea where the setting is (if that's what it is). Your image is with everything deselected??...i.e click off of the objects onto the white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signguy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 That light purple outline that you see is a snapping candidate. Turn them off an you will no longer see them.

pomme27 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Great! I never would have thought of that. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oval Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I never would have thought of that. Yes, perhaps a bit unusual, so we think you did not find it in your Affinity Designer Help. Those things should be mentioned at the beginning/in an overview of the help system. Please vote for a reference and overview screen (not only for beginners) here.

ra.skill Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Oh boy I'm glad I found this chat! Those pink lines have been bugging the S*** out of me 😂 Makes it very hard to preview document, I was resorting to flicking to export persona for a preview hahah Maybe this should be turned off by default.
