Jojojojo Posted September 15, 2023 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,
NotMyFault Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 Hi, can you upload the document, and provide a screen recording showing the full screen / window? Goodby Forum, thanks for good discussion and so much support from great peers and Affinity staff. It was a great pleasure to be part of this fantastic community. After 03.10.2025 find me on https://creofora.com
Jojojojo Posted September 15, 2023 Author 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! Blue line on artboards.afdesign
