Preview Mode Button


Recommended Posts

I dont know whats going on. I dont know if Im not understanding it. Or maybe this is just an issue with the whole button active style.

In the first photo below, the snapping button at the top right corner is turned ON so now my objects will snap to each other. However, the preview mode button next to it is not on but my grids and margins are showing. 

And then in the second photo, if I turn the preview mode button ON to look like my ON snap button, the grids and margin turn off.  

Shouldnt the grid and margin show when the preview mode button is turned ON? Not when its turned off? Is this a bug? or am I not understanding?

Exactly.

No.
"Preview" means all visual aid is hidden so that you can, well, preview the artwork without any disturbing elements. That's always been the same on desktop as well.

No, it works as intended.

What's definitely not so great is the actual UI design, i.e. the buttons' on/off state.
But that has been discussed in enough other threads already.
