davidgall Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I have a document (ipad Designer) with numerous groups and layers). When working with the doc, I see objects that I want to edit, but with the MOVE or NODE tool active, I cannot tap the object and make it active. It’s very frustrating because I have to drill through all the layers/groups to activate it through the Layer pane. There’s got to be a way to activate it through a direct selection. Am I missing something? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAppsUser Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hello. I assume you’re double tapping the objects you want? Also you may have to double tap them a few times in order to drill down through the layers and groups. The app can’t guess what you’re after so it starts at the top and works down. It can seem like nothing is happening when zoomed in because you don’t see the selection box of the bigger object. Try zooming out if it seems nothing is selecting. (There is also a ‘select inside’ and ‘select under" in the context bar - the thing that pops up middle bottom of the screen. I’ve not had to use these settings myself so I’m not sure they’ll help though I suspect it’s what they’re for. I intend to have a play some time.) Hope this helps.
