barbBear Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 I am new to using artboards, so I may have interpreted this incorrectly... I have a document with artboards and layers (screen grabs attached). The Top layer (named Spiral in the attached example) is selected. I'm thinking, I'll create an ellipse and it will be above (or maybe below) the Spiral layer. When I create the object, it is located lower down, on the top layer of the Artboard set of objects. The artboard layer was locked and it still put the newly created ellipse inside. Is this how it is intended to work? Barb. Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 I think it's working as designed. Objects you create that are physically overlapping an Artboard will become part of that Artboard.

thomaso Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 To work with objects outside of artboard layers you can deactivate the Layers Panel option "Edit All Layers". This prevents from auto-moves into the artboard layer hierarchy but also may make the ticked option "Auto-scroll" temporarily not working any more.
