DarkLimit Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi guys, as shown in the video. When i try to select an object it selects something else. Am i doing something wrong? it really kills my workflow and would like to know how to avoid it. Thanks in advance! Selecting.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Welcome to the forums. As far as I can tell you aren’t doing anything wrong but I’ve not seen this behaviour before. I can’t see anything obvious in your screen-cast that would account for it. Does this only happen with this document or does it happen with others? When it happens, does it always happen while that document is open or is it intermittent? Are you using a mouse, tablet or mousepad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLC Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 @DarkLimit This happened to me as well, multiple times (only in AD 1.7.x). I don't know what triggered it but I was working on multiple large documents with many layers.

Seems to be happening only with this document, but it does happen occasionally with other documents and would like to know why so I can avoid it. I use a mouse.

Wosven Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Did you lock the background items you want to select or are those items you keep on selecting part of a large group or layer at the top? Perhaps locking this group/layer will help… Sometimes, when I want to select precisely, I use the lines mode view, it's eaisuer to select a precise object.

Sara72 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Try turning off Edit all Layers, its on by default when you create a new document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
