View objects laced outside of the documents


Recommended Posts

Hello

I'm moving to Affinity - in previous software, I could see any object I place outside the document. In Affinity, they get "hidden". I've been using a workaround by using two overlapping artboards, it seems to work but I think it is quite a waste of time. I know it is due to laziness.. but it was really very easy to place stuff just close to the document and use them when needed. Am I missing any flag or option to enable this? If not I would add the option in one of the next releases.

Kind regards

If you are working on an Artboard doc you should see things on the pasteboard (assuming they are fully "off" the artboard). If you are working on a non-artboard document then turning "Clip to canvas" (View -> View Mode) off will hopefully give you what you want.

... unless you are using Photo, where that option is not available.
