ChrisP Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This happened before on a project. I work on an element (in this case a simple line with a stroke applied) and then after I moved on, I get the "marching ants" border. I close the project and re-open but as soon as I start to work again, it reappears and won't go away. Has anyone else had this problem? If not, it's probably a bug. I'v attached pic and AD file.

Hokusai Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 ChrisP, If I was to hazard a guess I would say that you accidentally (or by choice) switched to the PixelPersona and then at some time made a selection. Once you switch back to the the DrawPersona, it appears and it won't go away until you deselect it. Of course that is just a guess and it could be a completely different issue. Is it possible that you were moving back and forth between DrawPersona and PixelPersona? It might help others to say which version of Affinity Designer you are using. The Mac Store app or the Beta? The marching ants go away when if you use command + D (for deselect) so it leads to me believe that at some point you were using the PixelPersona.

ChrisP Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Good point. I am using AD 1.2 bought in the Mac Store. I was not switching between the Draw and Pixel Persona - I was only in the Draw Persona. The Cmd + D did the trick. Not sure how it happened but it's gone for now. Thanks Hokusai !

Hokusai Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 No worries, glad I could help. That is odd that you got a pixel selection while only using the Draw Persona. Hokusai MattP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I get the "marching ants" in Draw Persona by Cmd Clicking on a layer (icon) in the layers list (no need to switch to Pixel Persona) … I always thought that this is intended … :unsure: CmdClick.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 28, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi ChrisP, As A_B_C said you probably hit ⌘ (cmd) and clicked on a layer's thumbnail accidentally. A_B_C Yes, it's intended and hopefully later it will be expanded with a convert to path option.
