Borders around Viewports

Hi everybody

A quick question if I may.

My Layout viewports suddenly have borders around them and I cannot find a setting to turn them off.

I usually render everything as Hybrid but on this occasion I am using Raster.

Is there is setting somewhere?

Thanks as always, :+1:

Have you turned on the stroke for the viewport?

I don’t understand Paul?

Select the viewport in LayOut and look at the Shape Style pallet:

You may have a stroke turned on.

Thank you Mike

I didn’t have a stroke turned on - but when I turned one on and then off again the line disappeared.

Cheers, :+1:

Great. Click the solution check mark on my post to mark this as solved, and to speed up someone else who might be searching for this:

Just coming back to this issue Mike which I have now clarified after a bit more experimenting irrespective of what I wrote above

If my Layout viewports are rendered as raster they will have a border around them and if they are rendered as hybrid there is no border.

The borders do not show on a PDF export so they are literally like a visual clue as to how my viewports are rendered.

Is this usual?

Are you using experimental or old graphics engine?

What is the quality settings of the viewport in Editing mode?

I use the classic graphics engine and generally have the viewport display resolution set to high although the border appears whether its set to low, medium or high.

Okay - this has been driving me absolutely nuts today - so I resolved to get to the bottom of it after work.

So after a lot of digging I finally found the reason.

I have a border around every Raster Rendered Viewport because somehow I accidentally ticked the box ‘Enable Draft Mode’ under Preferences> Performance.

Unticking the box made the borders disappear like magic: Hooray :grinning: :+1:
