tip Double click on thumbs in the layer panel!

[MatthijsR]

I noticed that if I double clicked on an Artboard thumb, the viewport jumps to full screen view of that artwork. NICE!

Then, I tried double clicking on a thumb of an item in the layer panel, and BAM, element selected, zoomed in to full screen view!

Is there a way to, when you select an element on your artboard, jump to that element in the layers panel while expanding the tree there if needed?

Go to Preferences and choose the 'User Interface' category. You should see an item called 'Show Selection in Layers Panel' - this is what you're looking for. The Affinity 1.6 Betas have changed this a little to make it easier to enable (it's now just available off a menu on the Layers panel itself)

 

Thanks,

Matt

Try Ctrl + Double Click, Shift + Double Click and Alt + Double Clicking on the layer panel thumbnails too.

What does Ctrl+double-click do that Ctrl+single-click doesn't do?

Ah, of course it does! I think I was already zoomed i when I tried it.
