New feature - Canvas outline

Community Beginner ,
Nov 19, 2016 Nov 19, 2016

Hi, I like the new feature when you can hide the stuff outside of the canvas + the canvas outline. However is it possible to hide the outline or change its color? I don't want the outline to be visible always.

Thanks

Thanks for the reminder about that button. It's a very new feature and we're both old timers!

I found a discussion on the pre release site, and there is no way to turn off that outline. But, one nice thing is that the stroke is outside the area of the stage. If you need to screenshot your stage for some reason, you would select inside those lines to get the full stage.

View menu has a Pasteboard option. Selecting that hides everything outside of the stage, and hides the outline.

As Colin said, View > Pasteboard will hide everything outside the stage and the stage outline but there is no way to hide just the stage outline when viewing the pasteboard also.

Thanks guys, there's actually a button "clip content outside the stage" in the GUI, what i wanted was just to hide the outline without hiding the grahpics.

I like the new features. As an animator i'm excited where the software is going. Funny thing is that i actually was doing the outline manually myself in the previous build, however it sometimes bothers me when i want to see the whole graphics. Thanks for the info, maybe they will add the option at some point in the future.

That new GUI button that clips stage content is new with the Camera feature - but it works whether you use it with the camera feature or not. It's what I call a "big little feature".
