How can I un-tick "show outline" permanently
Help needed!
I am using the Magic Erase/Clone Tool, made the correction, then think the result should be a tad bigger, so Ctrl+F2 for the Selector Tool>click on the correction, pull out the nodes to resize.
But .. the Show Outline appears around the correction, I don't want it there, it obscures what I am trying to do.
Not seen that in previous versions. Previously just the nodes appeared and I could resize
How do I un-tick it, disable it, or bin it?
Have read through the Help files, but am none the wiser.
This is driving me nuts and I am now tempted to revert to Designer 11.

Try this:
After moving your cloned shape Ctrl+C / Ctrl + Shift + V. Then resize and feather if required.
Does that do what you require?

That's different to what I have been using for years, but yes, it would do the trick.
Thanks Egg :-)

there is a show/hide outlines button on the magnetic lasso infobar [ctrl+H]- that may help?

Thanks Handdrawn, it doesn't un-tick the 'marching ants' when I try to adjust the selection.
I have tried to add that button to my custom toolbar, but it isn't listed.
Egg's trick works, I am happy to report :D

Pressing ESC button might help
Re: How can I un-tick "show outline" permanently
@Grenou - yes, sorry, I misread your original post
EDIT - this is what Egg has already sugested... :)
the ants are there all right - try copying your selection to clipboard, deleting the selection and then pasting back in place - that seems to work for me if I've now understood you right
Re: How can I un-tick "show outline" permanently
I now do this :-)
But this never happened before in previous versions, I checked in Designer 11, which is the 2nd image in my post.
so I don't understand why this is happening now, but Egg's solution works fine, thanks again Egg :-)

[Apologies if this shows twice. My previous submission doesn't show.]
I did not upgrade to X365 yet, but I was looking through Release notes, and looks like Ctrl-H will toggle the marching ants outline. Attaching a screenshot from the release notes page.

Thanks EuropaViewer, but Ctrl_H doesn't get rid of those ants!
As I mentioned, Egg's solution works a treat.
