velarde Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hello. I brought this up more than a year ago but the thread got lost when the forums were updated. It would be a great usability improvement if we could have more options for selection layers in the work area canvas. Right now when i select objects with the arrow. Sometimes the whole group is selected and sometimes the layer I want to work with gets selected. It's a little hit or mis.. When this happens I select a layer from inside the group in the layers palette. Now I can select as expected the individual layers inside the group but if I starting working with another group I loose the option to select the layers from another group. it kind of kills the workflow when you can't select objects in a complex multi group document. (which we usually work with). This is not an issue with simple documents with a couple of layer and no group layers. But as soon as you create one group layer to start organizing content selecting layers is troublesome. It would be a GREAT time saver if we could right click on the canvas/work area and have all the layers that are available underneath the arrow/cursor and select it from here. I do this in Photoshop a dozen times a day without thinking to make selection of layers. Again another little thing that helps in the day to day work. I'm attaching a screenshot to show what i mean. lepr 1 Quote ------------------------ Fernando Velarde www.velarde.com Instagram.com/soyfervelarde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velarde Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 This is how Sketch handles the same function. Picking a Layer by right clicking in the work area. Very nice, shows a very clear hierarchy: Artboard, Group and Individual layers. This makes working with complex documents and multi groups a breeze ... No response yet.... :( Quote ------------------------ Fernando Velarde www.velarde.com Instagram.com/soyfervelarde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
