KiLa Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi, i'm trying to do some perspective sketching, but Affinity Designer starts to act weird when i'm trying to snap only visible objects. First the snapping works fine, but after some switching between move and pen tool, and hiding/showing layers Designer starts to show hidden layers in yellow color. If you look the attached image '1.png' - this is what i see when using Pen tool: hidden groups vp1 and vp2 are shown in yellow color - well i guess all are shown in yellow color. Image '2.png' shows what i was expecting to see: only vp3 groups and the black line. Any ideas how i can exclude the hidden groups from snapping and disable the yellow highlighting? Or is this a bug... Cheers -k AD 1.5.3.69 / Win10 64 bit perspective.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Callum Posted October 30, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 30, 2017 Please could you try unticking Snap to Object Geometry to see if the yellow lines disappear? However it does look as though this setting may be ignoring the Only Snap to Visible Objects setting C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

KiLa Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hi, i made a video that demonstrates the problem: Notice how the snapping doesn't first work at all / it starts to work after i have selected the Guide layer. Please let me know if you need more info. -kimmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
