Affinity Designer: Purple frame in objects


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody, I am a new user for Affinity and I have no experience designing. I noticed from some time up today, Affinity shows me some kind of purple frame in some objects I previously selected (Please see the attached picture). This purple "frame" does not appear in the exported files. 
 
Is there a preference or a way to avoid this? 
 

 

Please help!

Hi Alex,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

The purple lines indicate that those objects are snapping candidates.

You can disable this going to menu View ▸ Snapping Manager... and unchecking Show snapping candidates.

To learn more about snapping candidates please check this video tutorial. The Snapping Manager has changed a little since the recording but the concept and explanation still applies.
