  • Selecting multiple objects on stage

    Posted by Kelly Johnson on January 24, 2011 at 4:19 pm

    Is there a way to drag a selection around multiple objects on the actual stage? I’ve exploded an illustration and have around a million objects and obviously, weeding through by selecting in the structure tab is not that efficient.

    So far, I believe the selection tools are only for selecting pieces/edges etc on a single object selected for editing versus being able to ‘drag around’ and select actual objects.

    I’m in R10 and R12. Thanks

    You can use the selection tools for objects, but in the rectangle/lasso modes you’re basically selecting the objects’ axes. To that end, first select all the objects and run the Axis Center command. Then try loop/rectangle selection.
