Robertoad Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 In my AD, every shape has a purple outline even though no purple outline is selected. When I select another outline colour, the purple still remains - please see attached. How can I get rid of this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is "number one" :-) I think, Serif should disable this option by default, and let an experienced user turn it on. There are plenty of "Features" to default shutdowns (for beginners). A mode for beginners and professionals would also be useful.
