    Default Shapes draw with red dotted line and can't be filled

    Hi everyone

    I have a problem where I draw a shape and it has a red dotted border and can't be filled. It looks like the lines you drag from the rulers.
    Is this a setting or a corrupt document?

    Sounds like you are putting the Shape into the Mask layer.

    Open the Page & Layer gallery, expand to the Layers view and look for a leftup blue arrow that shows which layer is selected.

    Brilliant as usual Acorn.
    Guides layer. I thought it might be something stupid like that.
    Thank you

    Yup, Guides and Masks catch me out all the time.
