Gardenia Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Selecting a shape should highlight the respective color in the swatches panel Catherine M Evans and aizome 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aizome Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 YES, at least if I understand what you're saying. Selecting an object should result in that object's layer being highlighted in the Layers panel so we can see where it is in relation to all the other objects.

That should already happen, and the original post was about the Swatches panel, not the Layers panel. If the active object is not being highlighted in the Layers panel for you, I suggest you start your own topic about it so we can help figure out why.

aizome Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The Swatch panel also confuses me. It does not highlight colours in the way I expect. For example, in the screenshot below I have selected an object with a 10% fill and a <foo> darker grey stroke. The Swatch panel is telling me nothing about either of these. If I double click either the fill or the stroke in the small 'object colours' diagram at top left in the panel then the 'colour chooser' pops up to tell me what the fill or the stroke are. But the Swatch panel is meaningless as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardenia Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 That is exactly what I mean. In these first 2 screen catches the color that is highlighted in the swatches panel is a green that is not being used in the selected square. Notice that in one of the pictures the stroke color in in front and in the other the fill color is in front In the next screen catches the square was recolored. While it is showing the fill color correctly, if you place the stroke in front in the swatches panel it keeps showing the fill and not the stroke.
