Selecting Multiple Objects by a Common Property?

[Mark Oehlschlager]

Suppose one has a complicated illustration with scores of small objects that share a common fill — or perhaps a common stroke color. Is it possible to select one object (say a circle filled with blue) and then issue a command to select all objects in the document that also share the same blue fill? Equally, is it possible to select one object (say with a purple stroke) and then issue a command to select all objects in the document that also share the same purple stroke?

This would be a very helpful feature to have in Affinity designer. It would save the user from hunting and pecking around.

Here's an illustration of how one can select objects that share common properties in Adobe Illustrator:

1) Select a model object.

2) From the Select menu, choose the command to select other objects in the document with a shared property.

I think Symbols might help you achieve this, at least somewhat..if you want a bunch of red circles changed into purple circles, you could achieve that by making the circle a symbol. Then editing the color of the symbol will change all the copies thereof.

That is the one most wanted features not yet available in AD.
