Blue Border around shapes

When I add shapes to a page LC boxes all the shapes with a single blue border. This creates a large blue box. Is this an option or standard. Can it be turned off? (What is it called?)

Thanks.

Hi Ed

Thank you for your reply and for posting that screenshot!

The outermost blue box displays the margin of your document. You can turn this off by accessing your page settings (File> Page Settings> Turn Off 'Show Margin'). 

The inner blue box displays which shapes are grouped on the same layer. When editing the page of your document they will move together as a group. However when you have selected the specific layer you can move and edit the shapes individually. Unfortunately there is not currently a way to turn off the blue box around these shapes. 

In both instances the blue boxes are not artifacts on your document and will not appear when presenting or downloading your documents! 

For more information on Layers you can reference this article from the Lucid Help Center. 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions! 🤔

@Phillip W @Micah  Wow, thank you for your very swift replies and help, much appreciated! Ok, I start to understand it now. I thought on the main Page I could select a part of my work from every layer and move all those items (of different layers) all at once to another spot. But that’s not possible. I just have to move it layer by layer if I want to do it. That’s ok.
