chen2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Current workflow: 1. move mouse to artboard tool in tool bar, click icon 2. switch to artboard area, double click artboard name 3. use move tool to select object How can I quickly select an object in artboard? And is there a shortcut for artboard tool? I'm using mac, I try to add system shortcut but failed, cause there is no artboard tool menu item.

Since your Artboard "H" includes "Layer33" which is a "(Layer)" container type of layer, you will need to enable the "Edit All Layers" option to select anything on another artboard when something on Artboard "H" is currently selected. The "Edit All Layers" option is enabled by clicking on the tiny icon at the bottom left of the Layers panel: chen2020 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V23.0 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
