I want to select a block, and drag it to a new spot. Then, I want to select another block in the same image and drag it to another spot, and repeat over and over. 3 years using the gimp and I cannot do this yet.
What I do is drag one area, save and close the image, then open the image again. Is this the way the gimp works?
I'm just getting back into image editing after a year of hiatus, and so I downloaded the newest version of gimp so I could get started. My select tool worked fine for a few minutes, then stopped letting me move pieces of my layer around. I was thinking maybe I accidentally changed a setting, so I fiddled with that, but no luck.
Select will still let me highlight and edit specific pieces of the layer, just not move them around. When I drag and drop, the piece of my layer appears as if I've selected nothing, and I'm only working on a single layer at the moment.
I know this discussion title is a bit murky, but the problem is a bit odd. I have Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2. In this version, I will activate the Select Tool, check Auto-Select: Layer, check Show Transform Controls, and then while using the Select Tool I will drag to create a rectangle to select multiple layers with content within the specified area.
Unfortunately, this action only works when I begin the selection from outside of the canvas area. If started from within the canvas area, no rectangle will appear, it will show me a measurement of my selection size, and then no layers will be selected upon release.
This cannot be working as intended right? I mean multi-select dragging cannot be intended to only work when started outside of the canvas right? Is there some way to fix this issue? Is this a bug? See the images below for more information on this issue.

My spot healing brush doesn't drage. The healing brush and all other brushes work normally. Before yesterday it was woking normally. The brush will make a round patch the size of the brush, but I can't paint with the brush.
Trying to use the spot healer brush, when I try to click and drag, all it does is give me one spot. It won't drag over an area. I have not had this problem before. I'm running CS5 on a Toshiba laptop. Tried to check for updates, but got "server might be down" error. I restarted the computer several times, hoping.... no change. Is there some "dummy key" I hit by mistake?

In previous versions of PS you used to be able to press CMD (i'm mac based) and drag the mouse to select all the layers that are within the area you drag to.
This is great for sorting out files, grouping layers etc as you can lock/hide layers as you go. Problem now is that in Photoshop CC it also selects locked and invisible layers - which didn't use to happen so actually its completely ruined this method.
I have used Autodesk products in the past, but I have never had this much trouble making a single wall. There are no scroll bars to move my view in the blue prints, keyboard arrows don't work, and there appears to be no way to change the cursor type so I can select and drag the viewing area. Is there some trick to it? When I drag the mouse it just highlights everything. This is especially annoying when I am just trying to change the orientation to see what is already made.
I am trying to begin with a very simple project: A deck. All I want to do is draw two original brick walls and then begin with a wood frame construction to place against it, but I also can't even seem to make a single right angle with this. When one wall length is finished it wants to position itself at 15 degre angles, but not in relation to the wall it is connected to. It sets those angles in relation to the compass direction which results in an inability to make even a single square. This means that even though the original wall I am building onto faces a South west 340 degree direction I pretty much have to disregard the presence of a compass and assume North is "top" which is pretty sloppy and makes me question why a compass is even present.
With a north orientation I can get right-angles without any problems, but the mouse is too sensitive and if I type in a length before clicking to create the wall the size ends up much longer than what I define. I can create it, select it, and then define the length, but I can't seem to define which side it expands from and I can't seem to find a toggle to keep a connected wall snapped in place or even to manually move that wall.
Also: When attempting to insert an opening into the wall at a specific point in the wall there appears to be no option to manually define (with text) it's position in that wall. There is a graphical method, but no matter where I put it on that wall it snaps to the far end. It's an existing wall with an existing opening.
when i drag to select a object the little marquee box don't show up when i'm dragging. How to get this back?

If you select an object and then drag it, it moves. This is without initiating the MOVE command and without picking any grips.
I have a series of logos that we use. I would like to have them setup in a dynamic type block that would allow us to select the block and choose from a pull down that logo to use.
I have see it done before just don't know how to replicate it.
As you scrolled through the choices as each one was highlighted it would display that one on the screen.
Puppet Warp is a great tool. But sometimes I want to isolate an area and only rework that spot, while keeping everything else in place. To do this I have to go around clicking everything to pin it down. I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically pin all possible points, or click-and-drag to create pins at all intersecting points of the web.

I've created a scene with a few polygonal objects. As an example, imagine a house with plants around it and a cloud above. The plants are spaced evenly along a curve, and the cloud is also made using a Paint Effect with a Modifier around it to control it's shape using slight forces, etc.
However, when it's done and I select the entire group of objects to drag to a different position, weird things happen. The plants seem to move much more quickly in that direction, so that soon they're no longer positioned where they should be at the base of the house, and the clouds move in the opposite direction from where I'm dragging (i.e. down not up). What I'll call the 'normal' polygonal objects (e.g. the house, car, etc.) all move fine, but I cannot figure out how to fix the other items so everything maintains its relative position, or lock the whole scene together to move as a group.
I've tried to combine them, and even 'parent' everything to the house, but I suspect I've changed something like a control handle position or rotated something that now moves opposite the normal xyz directions.
How can I drag-select muliple vertex points form a polyline, a workaround I found is:
-select object
-shift select first vertex, shift select next vertex, etc
But this workaround is limited because I want to delete those vertexes, I cannot find the remove vertex command when I have multiple vertexes selected.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created the attached block to add spot elevations to a drawing. The block has attributes allowing elevations to be manually typed in, but also includes many dynamic features for rotation, lengthening, mirroring, etc. The block was created as an annotative block.
The block and all of its features work perfect as long as the dynamic features (rotation, etc) are not used after additional annotative scales are added. I often times have a drawing set at 1:10 or 1:20 scale and need to do an enlarged detail at 1:5.
What I would like to do is have this block set at 1:10 scale and 1:5 scale and manually rotate it (ideally using the dynamic features) at different angles for each scale. Is this possible and if so, why is it not working with this block? This works flawlessly when using annotative multileaders, so why shouldn't it work with blocks or is this just too labor intensive for the software?
I have also tried attsync, etc. and often times when rotating at different annotative scales, the text attributes go "bonkers" for the opposing scale when applying attsync.
i can't drag a block from the design center into any drawing. i have to go into the design center right click on the block, click copy, then go back to my drawing and paste the block. this has just started happen, before i was able to drag and drop with no problem. there is no error message the only thing that happens when i try to drag a block from the design center is when i'm back in the drawing the cross hair has a circle.
