Unfortunately, the provided reference doesn't explicitly detail how to turn off perspective rulers once created in Clip Studio Paint. It describes setting hotkeys and accessing Clip Studio Paint preferences, which may indirectly help with managing rulers, but doesn't directly answer how to disable them. Therefore, I will provide the standard methods for disabling perspective rulers based on general knowledge of Clip Studio Paint.
Here are the common methods to turn off or disable the effects of perspective rulers in Clip Studio Paint:
-
Disable Snapping: If you just want to stop your lines from snapping to the perspective ruler, you can disable snapping. Click the "View" menu, and make sure "Snap to Ruler" (or "Snap to Special Ruler") is unchecked. This will stop your drawing tools from automatically aligning to the perspective lines.
-
Hide the Ruler: Hiding the ruler visually doesn't disable its effect on snapping (if snapping is enabled), but it cleans up your workspace. Select the Operation tool (shortcut: O), then click on the perspective ruler on your canvas. In the Tool Property palette, you can change the "Display area" to "Only when editing". Alternatively, you can reduce the opacity of the ruler lines in the same palette to make them less obtrusive.
-
Delete the Perspective Ruler: If you no longer need the perspective ruler at all, you can delete it. Select the Operation tool (shortcut: O), click on the perspective ruler on your canvas. Then, press the Delete key on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can right-click on the perspective ruler and select "Delete".
-
Turn off Ruler visibility in Layer Settings: In the Layer palette, select the layer containing the perspective ruler. There should be a small ruler icon next to the layer thumbnail. Clicking this icon toggles the ruler's visibility and influence on other layers on or off. If the ruler icon is visible, it is active. If it is not visible, it is inactive.
Keep in mind that deleting the ruler is permanent. Hiding it only removes the visual representation. Disabling snapping removes the "stickiness" of your drawing tools to the ruler. Using the ruler visibility in Layer settings disables the effect of the ruler without deleting it. Choose the method that best suits your needs.
