RedSnapper Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I draw the box to select an area that I want to copy but when I release the mouse button the box disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSnapper Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi Walt, I have tried that. Same problem with the selection brush. It draws the box with snap to edges option but when I release the mouse the selection disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AffinityJules Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Are you sure that you are using this tool properly? Using NEW or ADD should work. Use NEW to make a new selection, use ADD to create several selections that all intersect. Quote Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.
