iPad Designer: why some objects can’t be selected by the Move or Node tools?


Recommended Posts

Are you using Artboards, or have you added Layer layers to your document?

 If so, check the burger menu settings in the Layers studio, and see if you have turned off the Edit All Layers option.

OK. In that case, if you can provide a screenshot showing the Layers studio and your design, and indicating which items you can't select, perhaps we can provide a different answer. Or, better, a .afdesign document and an indication of what you can't select.

Sometimes you can select an item with the arrow tool..sometimes not. Is there a rhyme or reason to this?

Do you have this setting turned on or off?

What about Select under and inside? They can help greatly with selection on complex vectors drawings.
