Item selection lasso


basha

Recommended Posts

When selecting multiple objects with the solid black arrow (selection lasso) not all objects are selected.

On second attempt all items are selected as expected.

This occurs on most occasions when when this method of selection is used. This also occurs in Publisher.

This has occurred across multiple documents in both Designer and Publisher.

However, all of these documents were originally created in version 1.9 – so maybe not an issue in docs created in 1.10 – have yet to test this.

That sounds like the Move Tool, which would select using a rectangular marquee. The Lasso is the Freehand Selection Tool, available only in the Pixel Persona when you're using Designer.

The selection action of the Move Tool depends on the Preferences you have set, specifically, whether you have enabled this one or not:

If not enabled, then the object must be fully enclosed by the rectangular marquee or it will not be selected.

OK; that was not clear from your report.

Hi Basha,

Are you able to attach a video (of the whole app) showing the behaviour you're getting please and attach the offending document please? I've tried this on a few of my documents and I'm not seeing any objects not being selected where they should be.
