stephen g Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Hi, I started using artboards recently instead of multiple documents mainly to take advantage of global colours. Here's my problem. When using a dark background artboards will always draw a thin border around them (see below). Ideally I'd like to disable that border. I understand that isn't possible in Affinity Designer V1. Is it possible in V2? Alternatively I can simply use a light background which disguises the border but that doesn't work so well with the material I'm working with. Thanks for any help.

Hangman Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Hi @stephen g and welcome to the forums, View > View Mode > Clip to Canvas should sort the issue out for you... Also, you can still use global colours on the regular canvas, they're not dependent on Artboards if that was what you meant...

'Clip to Canvas' is already enabled (although it is greyed out it the menu). Regarding global colours, I meant I've switched to artboards instead of separate documents in different files.

Komatös Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 @Hangman From the help: Clip to Canvas is switched on by default. This option is unavailable in documents containing artboards. The boarder is a display error that always occurs when the scaling is less than or greater than 100%.

stephen g Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 The border seems to disappear at 200% scaling. But returns at 150%. 200% scale is fine for now though. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have helped of course had I actually created an Artboard and not a Canvs, so please ignore my previous incorrect response...
