is there anyway to prevent Allegro from displaying boundary for shapes?

when you turn on a layer in the visibility tab and turn it off the shape boundaries do not turn off. This is annoying. Is there some way to stop this? I don't want to see the dynamic shape boundaries unless I am editing the boundaries.

    Make sure Shape Edit is not turned on under Application mode.

    Another way is to set a dark color for them.

    You can also customise the Visibility pane to include the Bound class. In the colors form go to the Visibility Pane tab and add the Bound class from the available list to the visible list.
