Not able to move items off the mat...

[4Art]

Hi
Hard to explain this lol.
Often I want to move items off of the virtual mat and over in that *blank* space between the mat and the display info columns on the far right of the program.

I can only move items less than an inch OFF of the mat into that area and it *snaps* there...I can't move them way over out of the way. I used to do this all the time and suddenly it started doing this lol.

I have checked/unchecked everything having to do with snapping, ruler, guidelines so far so I obviously do not know what I am doing LOL

Help?
Thank you!

Easy fix! Go to Edit>Preferences and click on the Edit tab. Then unmark the option "Keep objects on mat when dragging." Click on OK. Post back if you have any other issues.

Oh my GOSH! HOW did I miss that one?? Thank you So Much!! I have been searching for this fix for a year LOL
I do own the video tutorial from You and ScrappyDew, but could never figure out the right search term there .

You have always been so helpful to me!
I am Sherri Landoni and I bought a KNK MAXX Air 15" refurb. through your help a few years ago and you helped me with a ton of stuff! On The phone for HOURS...especially with some PNC issues. I sent you a *thank you* but I am ashamed to say it was NOT anywhere near what I wanted to send for all your help...hopefully I can help more beginning next year .

So, this drove me to frustration LOL Ahhh, what a pleasure it will be now

Thank you again! I am loving the SCAL5 tutorials btw.

Hi Sherri! So good to hear from you again! I remember the same frustration with not knowing how to get my shapes to move anywhere I wanted them to go in SCAL. So, I was equally thrilled when I discovered that option in the Preferences window.

Also, thanks for purchasing the Scrappy Dew classroom! Feel free to post any other SCAL questions you might have.
