    Hello Egor,

    thanks for your response. Interesting take, that this behavior needs to be connected with a hierarchical dependence of the objects to the art board. This makes sense.

    Funny nobody asked for it earlier, as I run around with this thought for years. I used to either use clipping masks to achieve the effect or simply create a blind object by subtracting two rectangles from each other.

    The emergence of Figma/XD/sketch showed how easy this can me. I like the idea of merging art boards into the layer panel the Figma way. If this is not feasible, perhaps the objects could check if they touch an artboard or not then apply the clipping when activated. This should work for trans-artboard objects as well.

    Feel free to merge it, as both ideas are a great improvment.
