How to Get Rid of Lines on Illustrator Templates

The lines and rulers on Illustrator templates may be turned on and off at will.

Adobe Illustrator is a graphic design software program. The program includes many preinstalled templates to make simple design projects easier and quicker to complete. Adobe Illustrator templates may appear on the screen with a number of different lines on the document. These include grid lines, guides as well as dotted lines around the perimeter, showing the printing margins on that template. These lines will not show up on the document when it is printed but, at times, they may become distracting when designing. You can remove these lines with the View menu.

Instructions

1. Open your chosen template. Click on the View menu, located on the top menu bar.

2. Click on "Show/Hide Artboard." All rulers and lines will now be gone from your template.

3. Click on "Show/Hide Page Tiling" to get rid of the dotted lines on the edges of the document.
