Illustrator :: How To Select Multiple Objects In Layer Panel

Sep 25, 2012

I want to select a few paths in the layerpanel by NOT clicken on every one. So for example I have the following structure:
 
Layer 01
     path01
     path02
     path03
     path04
     path05
     path06
     path07
     path08
     path09
     path10 
 
And I want to activate path03 to path09 for further modifications - I would have to select every single path by clicking on it in the Target column.
 
Is there a faster way like selecting path03 and than holding the Shift-key and selecting path09 ? <- (This obvious solution doesn't work)

Illustrator :: Select Multiple Objects Faster On Layer Panel?

Nov 1, 2012

Is it possible to select a few objects by "sliding a mouse", on layer panel? For example, you can hold down the mouse, slide to lock multiple objects. It's fast and easy!

But if I need to select, say, only red, blue, yellow stars... I need to click the ◎ icons to select each sublayer. when I have so many objects to be selected on layer panel.

I use CS6 on Mac. Is there any secret shortcut key to select objects on layer panel by "sliding a mouse"?

Illustrator :: Select Multiple Objects On Layers Panel In CC?

Mar 11, 2014

i have a guge artwork and i need to select a small groups (around 10-100) of objects from about 4000 overlayed objects and then group'em/split-to-layers for usability (This is a human body infographics for medical institute) There IS NO way selecting them from canvas because they are overlayed, and sometimes not visible at all. in CS5 there was a feature to select multiple objects by Alt+drag selection icon on the most right in the Layers Panel. Now the duplication mode turns-on when i try to perform it. So.. Ho do i select multiple object without need to click through thousands of them? (i need drag-select)

Illustrator :: Direct Selection Tool To Select Multiple Objects

Nov 21, 2013

When I use the direct selection tool to select multiple objects that also contain an image within a clipping set, occasionally the clipped image is included in the bounding box, even if it and its clipping mask are not selected.  Selecting other objects includes them in the bounding box, but even after deselecting everything the bounding box around the image remains and the only way to remove it is to drag a handle (which resizes the image) and then undo the action.  Obviously this is annoying and seriously interrupts workflow.  I've had this issue ever since CS4.

Photoshop :: Move Tool Auto Select Is Not Capturing Multiple Objects Upon Drag / Select

Jun 18, 2013

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.

AutoCad :: Shift Select To Select Multiple Objects?

May 15, 2008

Right now, when i click one object and then another, the first object becomes deselected. Holding shift is the only way for me to select multiple lines right now (other than dragging of course) but that's not what I'm used to and it annoys me a lot. At first everything is fine but then after a while it does this without me changing any options at all.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Select Multiple Objects

Sep 10, 2013

I have a lot of polylines that are all over a drawing from an outside source. Unfortunately the only unique properties about them are:

AREA = .14 sq in
PERIMETER = 1-11/32"

Everything is on the same layer, color by layer and are at the same elevation.

Any way to select just these closed polylnes? I tried quickselect but the AREA option did not work (it wouldn't except just the .14 value), and there is no apparent PERIMETER value to select.

AutoCad :: Select All Objects On Certain Layer

Dec 27, 2011

Currently, when I'm converting architectural drawings into backgrounds for my use, one of the first things I do is select certain objects based on their layer and delete them en mass.

I'm using the QSelect dialog box at the moment, but that's really difficult. I would try writing a LISP or something, but I don't know of a command line version of the QS command to make it work.

Is there a way that I can select one object, and make it select all the other objects in the drawing that are on the same layer? The QS command is handy, but very tedious.

AutoCad :: How To Use Command Like Lengthen In Multiple Objects By Window Select

Aug 10, 2011

as title if I need to select one by one,it will be too slow....Should this function be accompolished by LISP? But I am not familiar with LISP.... the situation is that I have many irregular lines distributed in disorder, and what I want to do is just lengthen these lines "3.5" Meters from the start point of each line.

If I can do this way , then I can join the line to some points correctly in Arcmap.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Unable To Select Objects On A Specific Layer

Jul 8, 2013

I am working on a .dwg file in AutoCAD 2013 , and on one specific layer (defpoints), I am not able to select any of the objects. Initially, I thought that the layer may have been locked or frozen, but it is not. Additionally, I went ahead and locked then unlocked the layer as well as froze then thawed the layer, still not able to select any objects on the layer.

My next attempt to fix the problem was to run the command "AUDIT", and instructed to "Yes" fix any errors detected. The command seemed to execute correctly, however, it did not do anything. The objects on the layer still cannot be selected.

Illustrator :: CS6 Layers Panel Won't Allow Moving Objects By Dragging Selected-art Indicator Dot

May 22, 2012

Having trouble moving objects between layers by simply dragging the right-hand dot to a new layer? CS6 won't let me drag the dot on any kind of selected art from any kind of file I've tried..
 
Click the name of the desired layer in the Layers panel. Then choose Object > Arrange > Send To Current Layer. Drag the selected-art indicator , located at the right of the layer in the Layers panel, to the layer you want.  But method #2 doesn't work at all for me. In fact, the cursor doesn't even change when I mouse over the selected-art indicator dot.

Illustrator :: Select All Objects With 2pt Stroke?

Feb 6, 2013

Is it possible to select all objects with a particular characteristic, such as a specific stroke width? I know I can do this by selecting one object and then choosing select all. But I want to include this as part of a batch action, so I need to be able to specify the selection in such a way that it can be completely automated. If I have to select one of the objects for each file, it defeats the purpose of the batch action.
