alsarraf Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 add a link between objects, such that moving one object will move the others. It is available a powerful feature. matisso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsarraf Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hmmmm.....you could group them maybe? Sometimes, it is annoying to use groups. because grouping the layers makes reaching a specific layer harder. You have either to keep clicking on group to reach the wanted layer or expanding many layers, in the layers panel, to reach wanted layer. Linking objects together, like Photoshop, makes reaching layers faster, makes working with them better and make you a more powerful user. I use this feature a lot in Photoshop. I'm sure that if a power designer begin using it, he will love it! matisso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 +1 For linking layers. Although grouping allows for similar function, linking lets you bypass layer hierarchy and perform moves without having to mess with the layers' hierarchy...

matisso Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yes please! I'm amazed, not to say a bit disappointed, that this had gathered so little attention. Linking is essential for the reason mentioned in the above post and groups are not a substitute. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Matt why not use layers for this. place all object that belong together on 1 layer. this way you won't have to click through all layers, but you can move all objects at once. a simple example attached. house.afdesign Quote intel core i5, 16GB 128Gb ssd win10 Pro Huion new 1060plus. philips 272p 2560x1440px on intel HD2500 onboard graphics Razer Tartarus Chroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matisso Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I won't even bother to download this, @dutchshader. Read this carefully: let's say you have twenty layers/objects but sandwiched between each pair of them are other objects that must remain where they are. In this scenario you will still need to select the layers you want to move one by one and keep it that way. If you group them, the sandwiching will be gone. Locking an object within a layer isn't a solution either. You might expect (I did) that if one object is locked, it would remain in place when moving the layer that contains it. However if you move the parent layer, the locked object follows, too. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
