TanBrae Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 I'm sure I'm missing something, but is there a way to not show the layer bounding boxes? They are so distracting! I don't know why/how they suddenly appeared. I worked in AP 2 several times, and now, all of a sudden, the layer bounding boxes are showing. Quote
R C-R Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Bounding boxes always appear for objects selected with the Move tool. There is an option to hide them while dragging but no way to turn them off. This is unchanged from V1.

If you did mean Publisher, then perhaps you've enabled View > Show Text Flow, and it's not really Bounding Boxes you're seeing but the Flow frames around the Text Frames. A screenshot might help us understand better.

A screenshot might help us understand better. It is happening in Photo 2. In the attached image, you will see the pink "borders" around each image. SO distracting! And, note that I have no layers selected, but I do have the Move tool active. If I click on the View tool, those "borders" go away. But, they are there if I click on any other tool. Quote

Screenshots can be very helpful. Those are not Bounding Boxes. You are seeing Snapping Candidates, because you have Show Snapping Candidates enabled in your Snapping Options. You can change that in the pulldown next to the Magnet icon in the Toolbar.

THANK you! Guess I need to read up. I just figured 2 would act like 1, and all my preferences would be as I had them in 1. DUH! Quote

I think it would be useful if we had a comprehensive list of the items that can not be migrated from V1 to V2. I had not thought about it or checked until I read these last 2 replies here, but it appears that snapping presets are among the items that don't migrate.
