How to turn off purple lines in Affinity Designer?

[Sharklj]

Affinity Desgner problem, hello, when I do not select the target, purple lines will appear and cannot be eliminated, which causes my screen to be cluttered. I want to turn off this function. Where can I set it? I've also tried mouse-away, but the purple color persists.

Snapping options > Candidates > disable Show Snapping Candidates

Hello @Sharklj! Welcome to the forums & seasons greetings to you.

For future reference, for things like this if you search the forums on something like "purple line" you will get a list that includes quite few topics that explain why that outline is there & how to disable it.

Doing this is usually faster than waiting for a reply to a new topic you create.

Thank you for your reply. I have searched the forum but could not find a solution. I am sad.

What happens if you click on the underlined "search the forums" in my reply above? That should automatically take you to the Search the Community web page, with "purple line" entered into the search field & links to quite a few topics listed below that, like this one titled "The annoying purple line when editing."

OK, thank you, this solved a lot of my problems!
