Strokes are always visible regardless of layer

[tysonjamesdale]

Hi everyone,

I started a new project in illustrator today and noticed that all my strokes are now visible, regardless of the layer that they are on...

Is this a setting? If so, just wondering out to turn it off.

Thanks!

Target the layer and check if the stroke is assigned to the layer.

Select one of the objects.

Open the Appearance Panel.

If you see the top item "Layer", double click it.

If there is a Stroke item set it to none.

Thank you so much! This was the issue.

Hello,

Don't forget that you're able to apply a stroke to:

• an object

• a group

• a layer

Everything could be found in the appearance palet.

Here is a good understanding of the subject:

Good luck
