dwdavedw Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Every once in a while, I can't select multiple objects. I have select tool, the "rectangle" mode - can't click and drag to select multiple objects. I tried quitting, restarting, still the same. ideas? Quote Link to comment
dwdavedw Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ah - holding shift and dragging works - is this new? used to be able to just click and drag. Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 You should be able to click and drag a selection rectangle around the object you want to select without holding a modifier key. Maybe the bounding boxes of your objects extend past the area you're defining. You can also click and drag a selection rectangle while holding down Option/Alt and VW will select all the objects inside the boundary and any object the boundary crosses. If it's not working correctly for you I would suggest restarting your machine and VW. Kevin Quote Link to comment

dwdavedw Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 I changed Layer options from "show/snap/modify others" to "show/snap others" and now I am able to select multiple objects without using the shift key. Quote Link to comment
