Jojojojo Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Hi, Upon clicking an artboard, a blue line appears and disappears when it's not selected. What is this blue line, why do I need it and how do I remove it? I tested other artboards and it's not showing up. Can someone please help, Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojojojo Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 Hi, Sorry, I can't upload the original document, it has confidential designs in it so I copied the artboards to a new document that I have attached. I also noticed that when clicking an element within the artboard the blue line also appears. I appreciate your feedback, Thanks!

walt.farrell Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 It's a Guide, which you have created on the Artboard and then dragged off the Artboard at some point when you were zoomed in further.
