Wireframe view not showing sketch.

[toddlauzon]

Note sure if this is a bug or Im doing something wrong. I've double checked some other illustrations to see if there was anything different in my layering structure or document setup but I'm not doing anything different. Is my file corrupt?

Think I found it...doesn't work in CMYK mode. Is this intentional?

Hi @toddlauzon,

The Colour space shouldn't have an impact on the visibility of vector strokes in wireframe view, as far as I'm aware. From the screen recording attached, the blue strokes all appear to be flat pixel elements, and therefore won't have a vector path to preview in this mode, pixel elements are hidden.

@NathanC if you use View > View Mode > Wireframe > X-ray any pixel elements will appear dimmed/semi transparent when the document colour space is set to RGB. However when using CMYK colour space pixel elements are drawn only showing their bounding boxes, which is the same as switching to View > View Mode > Wireframe > Outline.

I'd consider this a bug, and would expect the same behaviour regardless of colour space.

Too used to using the default 'Outline' wireframe mode on my toolbar that I had forgotten about the X-ray mode. I'd agree this is a bug and will get it logged, thanks @Bryan Rieger!

Yes. This is the sort of expected behaviour for me coming from illustrator. A raster image set to template will still show up in outline mode...I love doing this to validate how my vector shapes look compared to my sketch. Thanks!
