Illustrator :: How To Select Underneath Object
Aug 13, 2013
I'd assumed it would be "Press Shortcut Key and tap mouse" or something like that... but it's not.
It seems the Command Key changes the mode of the selection tool, whilst partially, sometimes, enabling selecting underneath. But it's terribly inconsistent, and means that the selection mode is changed if I do manage to select the desired object. Is this how it works?

It involves right clicking on an object in Corel Draw X6. I had this same issue in X5 too.
My issue is that if I select an object and then right click on that object (I right click on the "X" in the middle of the selected object) it will select the object below the "X." In other words, I can only ever get the right click menu to appear on the object I select if there are no objects below it.

We still do all of our AutoCAD drafting in 2-D.So we don't need the ViewCube.It gets in the way and won't let us select objects underneath the ViewCube.
It is easy to turn it off by going to User Interface.BUT, is there a way to turn it off as the default.The drawing I'm in right now has the ViewCube in half of the Viewports.

I need to place an image underneath skin and I was wondering how to do this effectively rather than just placing the image above the picture and blending the layers. The image is off a cartoon eye that will glow different colours and I am trying to blend it into an open palm. Kind of a mix between David Blaines eye tattoo, and the clocks from the film In Time

How do I drag to select over the top of objects without selecting and moving the objects under the mouse when I begin the "drag to select" motion?

For some reason, when I try to create a transparent object with a low opacity material, the object underneath it seems blurred out as if the texture res of the inside object is very low. once I hide the transparent object it returns to normal.
Unfortunately it also looks like that when saving an image.
I tried playing around with the material and with the preferences of Mudbox but couldn't find a solution.

So, I have ensured that Object Selection by Path Only is unchecked in the selection and anchor display prefs. However, I still can't select an object by fill (clicking within the object). I have to go to the object edge and select the path.

I am new to Illustrator, but know that I need to select the object I'd like to trace before using Image Trace. The problem is every time I used the selection tool, the entire picture is selected, and then traced.

I can open Adobe Illustrator fine, but as soon as I select an object, before I release, the software crashes; if I'm lucky I can move the object, but before I release it, the software crashes.

I'd like to select an object and have a script select all objects behind that object, within that objects bounds. I believe this is possible with z-order? But I've never worked with Z-orders before

Is there a way to simply select all object directly below an objects?
I found this script here but it doesn't seem to work.
//DESCRIPTION:Select Below
// A Jongware Script
if (app.documents.length && app.selection.length)
{
ypos = app.selection[0].visibleBounds[3];
[Code] .....
Here's an example file. I'm trying to select eveything below the yellow polygon.
This would be very useful in another project with many small objects bunch together below many larger objects. I want to group the small objects that are bellow the larger object together without having to manually select each objects (there are thousands of objects so a script would be ideal).

What i do is use the direct selection tool and click an anchor and then click the eyedropper tool on that anchor point What is happening is the the outline color is being selected. So i found out Illustrator CS6 you have to hold shift while clicking the eyedropper. I tried that and still can't get the color of the underneath layer, the fill color stays white? Here is pic:
As you can see in the navigator window, the shade of red is that of the outline and not the apple underneath the outline. I tried shift+eyedropper and white is the only color that get's sampled.

When I select an object and pan to make another selection the first object "deselects". The object(s) will stay selected until I pan and as soon as I start to pan the grips go away and the object(s) is deselected.

When I click the select tool, a brown selection type of rectangle appears in a particular area of the illustration, even though I have not clicked on the illustration yet. I assume it is some type of warning indication, but don't know what. P.S. It is draggable and scaleable - I can move it off the artboard. An example:

Every time I have Autokey on and try to select a new object or helper, 3ds max freezes for around 3-5 minutes. I can scrub trough the timeline and select things without auto key on without any slowdown whatsoever, but if I even glance at the autokey button too hard, everything undergoes a huge slowdown. I am running Max 2012.

How do you make things appear under a human skin? No X-ray effect, no cutting-the-skin-away-and-see-what's-underneath-it kind of thing, but just so that you see the skin formed around the thing which is underneath it. Not just like pregnancies, but that the skin in pretty tight around it, for instance with (broken) bones, big veins, some horror effect where a face appears on someone's back, etc. Also different 'deepness'es at different parts, yet still in 2D.
Obviously, the object I want to have appear underneath the skin comes from another layer as the picture of the person, the 'skin owner', who is the chosen (and probably very unlucky) one.

I changed something, the back of faces does not render in the viewport and I also cant select the back of faces. Also even with a two sided material the back of faces is not lit.

In past versions of PS I've been able to select the object in a layer by hitting control and clicking on the layer. I would get the marching ants and then could use that selection by creating a new layer for it and then manipulate it as I desire. Now it looks like the stroke causes linking to turn on and off.
I very much liked being able to select the object in a layer and used it quite often in my designing. I still want to use it, but how? Does anyone know if this function has been preserved and how do I access it?

I'm trying to select an object out of photo. I want just the object and not the background.
I've been trying to use the magnetic lasso, but when I get to an area where there's a shadow (lack of contrast) the magnetic lasso becomes somewhat less useful.

We have a schedule tag for space objects created on our tool palette. When you use the Multiple option, you cannot do a window selection unless only spaces are visiable. If other object types are in the selection set, the program seems to get hung up... no error is produced... it just seems to spin relentlessly. We have to Cnt+Alt+Delete to get out of it. You cannot preselect the spaces and use 'P' for previous selection set, since the last selection set was the first one you selected to place the first shedule tag.
I thought I could create a tool to return the selection set to the select object prompt with the simple line of code, like this - this should work but does not:
(ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "AEC_SPACE")))
it returns the spaces to the prompt, but for some reason they get filtered out.Below is the command line snippet that shows multiple attempts...
Command: _AecScheduleTag
Select object to tag: Specify location of tag <Centered>:
Select object to tag [Multiple]: m
Select objects to tag: (setq ss (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "AEC_SPACE")))) <Selection set: 12dc> 7 found 7 were filtered out
Select objects to tag: !ss <Selection set: 12dc> 7 found 7 were filtered out, 0 total
Select objects to tag: !ss <Selection set: 12dc> 7 found 7 were filtered out, 0 total

In printing a top view of a stacked assembly. How can you set it up so the top part is opaque to the part underneath it.
Example: I have a cylinder actuator on actuator layer on top of that I have mounted a switch box on switch box layer. When I print I want to see the top of the switch box and only see the areas of the actuator that are not covered by the switch box.
