World View Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 It is easy to color the background with the rectangle tool. But it totally sabotages any further work. I just tried to move a whole composition on a black background - but I can't select them. because of this damn rectangle tool whenever I try to select the elements on the page, the frame tool gets selected and the frame moves, but not the content. How can I get out of this? I'd like to fill the page with black without the annoying rectangle tool that sits like a block there and prohibits selecting a larger group of items and therefore moving them. I can only select one of two, but not eight or nine elements to move together. The rectangle tool blocks everything. Quote
walt.farrell Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 A couple of choices: Select the objects using the Layers panel. Lock the rectangle layer in the Layers panel before selecting the other objects.

World View Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Thank you, Walt! This saves me to select each and every item in the design to move them together! Locking the rectangle layer will be it! walt.farrell 1 Quote
