Third option for 'select same' — Select Same Inside.


Recommended Posts

Currently, Select Same is great. However it seeks the entire document, across artboards, everything. I typically only want to grab files in specific part of the layer/group hierarchy. The UI issue is, how does a user specify 'where' the Select Same should look? Below is an idea I had for this.

So, this lets a user specify the Select Same to only look in the parent of the currently held object.

>What if a red object is inside a group, then a layer, then an artboard? Does it look inside just the first level parent? I'm not too sure.

Maybe we default to artboard, since this is an explicit work area separate from other content. Groups and layers tend to be used together in one design, and Select Same's entire point is to blast through all the structure. So, maybe 'Select Same inside artboard' is a good middleground of powerful and simple.
