jackamus Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I've been using the protractor assets added by one of the developers and it is very useful. However it doesn't see possible to select it like any other object ( to move it etc) except selecting it from the layers list. Is there a way out of this?

Staff Callum Posted November 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2019 Which assets is it you are referring to? If possible could you provide a screenshot of the asset you are using?

Staff Callum Posted November 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2019 This because these assets are a series of groups clipped to layers unfortunately the only way to select them will be via the layers panel.

jackamus Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 OK. Just out of interest how was that done? Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Staff Callum Posted November 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm not sure what you mean sorry? The elements would have been created in the app then grouped together and clipped. I've just looked at the files agin and I can see that you actually can't select them because certain elements are locked. The below file should work how you want them to. callums Protractors.afdesign Hilltop 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

jackamus Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 That's OK you got it right! Presumably I can delete the existing protractors and replace them with these new ones that you sent and add to my Asset list. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Staff Callum Posted November 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2019 Yes that should be fine you might want to keep the old ones for a day just to make sure there are no issues with my ones as I'm not sure why these elements were locked!

jackamus Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 That's good. If I lock a group in a layer and send it to Affinity then nobody will be able to ungroup it or edit it?

Staff Callum Posted November 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2019 Anyone can unlock layers, locking a layer just locks its position so it can't be moved. Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 OK. I was just trying to figure out how it was originally locked into a layer.
