When working with CAD files, there are usually quite a lot of lines that need to be altered, each with very minor variations. To this end, it is important to not only consider fill & stroke colour but also the stroke weight. Currently, it is possible to work around this by sifting through the lines based on stroke weight or Fill & stroke colour first to then sift through them once more with the other category. However, this quickly becomes quite a tedious job. Therefore, I would like to be able to select all objects based on fill & stroke colour & stroke weight.

stroke weight.

I've always wondered why the Stroke "Weight" criterion is in Select same (ie mass parameter), when "Width" is entered for Stroke.

Yeah, "width" makes more sense in this case. "Weight" is usually referred to in terms of line weight, "stroke weight" sounds a bit off to me as well.

The use of the word "Weight" evokes in me the fact that other criteria are used for the search, not just the thickness (stroke width). For example opacity, because a more transparent line is lighter than a non-transparent line, a dashed line is significantly lighter than a solid line, a noise line weighs more than a noise-free line, the black line is, of course, heavier than the pink line, and so on :-)

Welcome to the Affinity forums @Sybille Sterk!

I really need a select same colour by opacity!

I could be wrong, but I think this is already working. I made a test document with three 80% opacity elements, two of them the same basis colour and one element with 100% basis colour. I picked one of the two identical 80% elements and AD selected only the two.

Ah. I see where I went wrong. Thanks, that is very helpful. Now I just need a tool for that instead of having to select that from a menu. LOL Oh and a blend/shape blending tool. :) It's almost there and so much faster than any of the Adobe products and it doesn't crash! :)  

So far my Affinity journey has been fairly smooth.
