The Adobe Illustrator artboard is not working. Whenever I draw anything it's not visible on the artboard but it can be seen on layers only. Can anyone please help me out?

How do I have to do it in illustrator?


Sorry Manal5EF8!

I sent you InDesign Prefences by mistake.

Here's Resetting Illustrator Prefferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/user-guide.html/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.ug.html

Hope this helps!

Please show screenshots of the artboard including titlebar and layers panel.

 

Probably it's the view mode (outline vis preview) or an issue with the GPU acceleration.

I looks like there are no objects on this Artboard. If there were objects, there would a disclosure arrow to the left of the Layer 1 listing in the Layers panel to reveal those objects.

Are your drawing tools working at all? Have you tried opening a new file? Have you tried quitting and restarting Illustrator? Have you tried restarting your computer?
