resetting/removing the attributes from a layer such as a color fill

[coldwetnoz]

I'm having trouble working tonight because I'm using a lot of bucket fill attributes for my layers. When I'm done, I keep seeing the arrows on my image even when I use the pick tool. How do I get rid of those little arrows when I'm done with them?

Thanks,
pslane

Press V.
You're seeing the fill-arrows because the fill tool is still active when the object is selected.

Thank you!

That didn't work.

"Bucket fill attributes" and "pick tool"? Sounds like you're using a completely different program... ;-)

In the Selector tool, look at the second button from the left on the Infobar. If it looks pushed in, click it to make it "unpushed" and the fill handles should disappear.

Sure does.

what Phil said

clicking V just moves you to the selector tool, does not necessarily reset the visible handles

It's the third button from the left in my copy of DPX10.

There are many software programs that use the bucket and the pointer as symbols. These two, the arrow pointer and bucket are used in PSP and also PS and in all the software I've used. The definition may be different in each individual program but they are basically for the same action. I am constantly going back and forth, using these software programs so I don't always remember to call it by the correct name.

Now I see the correct tool button for removing an attribute. (Thanks!) Well, whattayouknow!!.. It's a bucket!! Another tidbit of knowledge to add to my overfilled (with a bucket) brain. lol I assure you I am using Xara right now.
