Designer - Select by common attribute?

[Rainer]

Hello

 

I am a technical writer and 99 percent of my use of illustration software is the processing of drawings/views exported from CAD for the use in instruction manuals.

 

The major tasks are therefore the cleaning up of imported files, resizing, cropping and finally adding items numbers and lines* from the item numbers to the parts.

 

For the cleaning up Adobe Illustrator has a feature that comes in very handy: I select a line with a certain thickness, then go to the selection menu and click on "select all objects with the same stroke weight".

 

I cannot find a similar feature in Affinity Designer. It is missing or only well hidden? If it's missing is it on the road map of future features?

 

Best regards

Rainer

 

* Thank you so much for adding "Outline" to the "Effects" menu. Now I can place a wider white line behind the black line without the need to handle two separate objects. This is the key feature that made me buy a Designer license yesterday!

Hi Rainer,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

This was not implemented in Designer yet (selecting by attributes).

All of the contributors to this fantastic program at a fantastic price exceeds any and all expectations that I had imagined it would be. Keep up the same continuity in the interface as you go, it makes it so much easier to remember the multitude of functionalities as the program grows. Thank everyone there at Serif and everyone involved in marketing too, along with the patriots like myself.  We all appreciate your marketing game plan as we introduce your product to our family and friends.
