selecting parent - selecting its children?

[VectorCat]

In the layer studio if I select a parent, all of whose children are unlocked, as is the parent, shouldn’t all the children (not just some of them) become active/selected, too?

Hi VectorCat

When selecting a parent layer (provided that Lock Children is not on in the context toolbar) then you will also select all children layers automatically.

I can understand the confusion here however as in the Layers Studio there is no Selection visible over the children layers, but if you try to swipe to select these layers you'll find they cannot be visibly selected when you have the parent layer selected, as this is assumed already when you have the parent layer selected. I hope this helps!

Thank you, Dan

Are you saying that if the parent is selected *and* Lock Children is not on, then the children are selected even if it doesn’t look like they are?

[Dan C]

That's correct!
