agalberto Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi, is there a way to select all object only on selected canvas? It selects all the objects of all artboards (quite useless). I know i can select only the artboard passing the mouse around the artboard, but the select all should be more precise, (if selected only the artboard objects).

Staff MEB Posted December 5, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi agalberto, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Other that dragging a marquee selection around the artboard, or picking the objects from the Layers panel no. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agalberto Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks! It would be a good option. Especially when you have lots of canvas near each other and objects going out of them. Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I agree, it's more useful to select all within an artboard than all objects across all artboards. For keyboard shortcuts, maybe the first ctrl/cmd+A could select all within the artboard, and the second could select all objects. I also often find myself wanting to select all children within a group or layer. If that were supported separately, it could also be used to select all within an artboard.

bangelischan Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hi! It's been 5 years and this feature has still not been implented ? I think it's a must have feature and it would really help selecting stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henric Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Thank you! One downside to this is that temporary placing object outside an arboard keeps them inside (but out of visual)... But then agin just a switch to make that work again Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
