deeds Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Adobe's Illustrator defaults to what I'd call Partial Coverage Drag Select whereby anything covered by the Drag is selected, regardless of the amount of coverage. CorelDraw defaults to what might be best called Drag Select Coverage of Whole Object to Select. One way of having both in the same app without shortcut keys is to use dragging right as the default, and dragging left as the other. So Click and drag either up or down to the right, and Whole Object coverage by the Dragged Selection Area works. Clicking and dragging to the left (either up or down) results in anything touched by the dragged out area being selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yig Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 At the very least, I would like the option to make drag (marquee) selection behave like it does in Illustrator and Keynote: if the marquee partially covers an object, it becomes selected.

Staff MEB Posted February 1, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi yig, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You can set the selection behaviour in Affinity Preferences. Go to the Tools section and check Select object when intersects with selection marquee. 4personnen 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
