not move when you can move the shape beyond the border of the work surface. You must

Working Area group box
Wireframe
Turn on Wireframe to set it as the default drawing mode. Turn off wireframe to display
objects in Filled mode as the default.
Wireframe Color
There are four methods of wireframe which can be set in this dialog box or in the View menu:
♦ Single Color causes all objects to be drawn with a solid line using the wireframe. The
default line color is black but the color can be changed on the General tab.
♦ Cut Print Colors causes all objects to be drawn with a solid line using the Cut Only,
Print Only, and Cut Print colors. The default colors can be set on the General tab.
♦ Vinyl Colors causes the objects to be drawn with a solid line using their assigned
vinyl colors. If the currently assigned background color is the same as an object's vinyl
color then that object will not be visible in Filled mode.
♦ Fill Colors causes the objects to be drawn as wireframes in their assigned fill colors.
Gradient fills are drawn using a dotted line. If an object has a process color gradient
fill the first color of the fill is the wireframe color. If an object has a spot gradient fill
the wireframe color is the highest percentage tint. Clear fills (or no fills) are drawn
using a dashed line in the vinyl color. If the currently assigned background color is the
same as an object's filled color then that object will not be visible in Filled mode. Image
Placeholders are drawn differently depending on their color. Process color image
