Outline on transparent Object


Recommended Posts

I guess I'm getting old ... been working with Affinity for 7 years now and suddenly you come across some stupid thing that seems not worth mentioning but you don't get the clue.

I just draw a simple ellipse, turn filing and contour off (transparent) ... But the ellipse still appears on the screen als outline and I can't get rid of this. Checked all setting (most likely overlooked the importend stuff). In the picture you see an ellipes selected and a copy of it unselected. And the filling setting. From my understanding it shoud not show up. So, who's the first to tell me I'm stupid 🙂 (and most important: WHY!) 🙂

The colour tells me that those are snapping candidates. Either turn Snapping off entirely, or change your settings.

In this case (the snapping candidates' magenta outline), I frequently hunt for the magenta outlines, can't see them and then eventually realize I have snapping turned off. This is followed by "Wait, what thing was I wanting to have snapped to which thing?" And then repeat because I still have the snapping off.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Interestingly, this option doesn't work properly because an ellipse with No Fill and No Stroke settings (or 0% opacity) is definitely not "visible".
So the wording should rather be - objects with enabled Visibility 🙂
