Tazintosh Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi folks, Sorry if it sounds like obvious, but actually, I've still not found any way to instantly select —all— external nodes (or the full external path) on the basic following example: Any idea? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 26, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi Tazintosh, There's currently no way to select all nodes instantly yet. Drag a selection around all the shape, then press ctrl and drag a selection around the inner nodes to subtract them from the selected nodes. [EDIT] There's a shortcut available: ⌘ (cmd)+A as already noted by ronnyb and paolo. Sorry about this. My bad.

Tazintosh Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi MEB and thanks for the answer. Obviously, I knew how to workaround this and the example was ultra basic for the purpose of the question :) But on much more complex shapes, it's start being a huge time consuming task for something that should be instant. Hope you have this planned soon! Thanks for the quick answer BTW. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazintosh Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hey guys, This is not working for me. Looks like it's because I'm only running the Apple Store version then? (non beta) If then, good to know this is now possible. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 12, 2015 It also works on the Mac App Store version. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazintosh Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Here's a quick video, please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Note that when everything is getting selected, this means I've just pressed ⌘A http://cl.ly/0R0z0N3L2A2E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's working as it should. The internal nodes are being selected because they are part of the same shape. There's no way to select only the external ones unless you do as i said in the second post (remove the internal ones from the selection).

Tazintosh Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah, so that's exactly the point of my original question :) In Illustrator, you ⌥⇧ click a node to achieve this, it's quite handy (again, my example is basic, of course it's easy to workaround…) Could we move this to feature request then? :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
