Affinity Desiger puting new layer at bottom

[deki55i]

Can someone help with this ? Why is putting new layer when I use brush or path tool at bottom and than I need to put it on top in order to be visible ?

Hi @deki55i and welcome to the forums...

I believe it's because you have a number of Layers (i.e., created using Add Layer in the Layers Panel) sitting above your artboard which means any new object added to your Artboard automatically gets nested inside the Artboard and effectively with your layer structure results in the newly added object appearing at the bottom of the layer stack.

If you nest the Layers inside your main Artboard then any new objects created using the Vector Brush or any other tools will appear above the currently selected object.

In case you use only 1 Artboard anyway, you don't need the Artboard layer and could work with object & layer layers only to avoid this behaviour of unwanted object assignment to a particular Artboard. Therefore you either …

– drag all current layers / objects out of their Artboard layer + delete the Artboard layer, or

– select + copy all layers inside & outside the Artboard layer (but not the Artboard layer) + choose menu "File" > "New From Clipboard" to get the contents in a new document without Artboard and in the document size of the selected objects.
