Is there an option to easily select a hairline, an option to increase the area close to the line to be able to select it.
Currently I have to click exactly on top of the line to select and my pulse is not perfect.Pressing Alt and dragging a square area to select the line is a hassle, and is difficult with objects to close to each other."Snapping radius" from "Snap to Objects" is only to move objects, not to select the object."Treat As Filled" does not work with lines.If no option exists, can one be created in VBA?Any help will be appreciated.
Work around: Sequential hits on TAB key you switch the selected objects. If there are many objects, choose to Zoom in on the region where is located the object you want to pick up.
THY said:My drawings contain lots of objects and most of them would be outside the window, so Tabbing won't work.
Tab key should work also on the desktop.
btw remember to keep yout work inside the page, not outside, for a better organization
THY said:I need to "increase" the selection area of hairlines.
Hold Alt and drag an area around the line, it will select all objects on this area
Thank you for the suggestion. Tabbing per-se works, but my drawings contain many objects, so it is not practical to use Tab. Additionally, if you zoom in, Tabbing will also be selecting objects out of your view. As mentioned in the initial post, pressing Alt and dragging an area to select the line is a hassle, and is difficult with objects too close to each other - as in my drawings. An option that can state "treat a hairline as if was a 4pt width line" or better yet "treat all lines smaller than 4pt as if were 4pt width line" would work like a charm.
Hello THY; Select ALL will let you change all the lines at once, then you can go back and change what lines you need to. Keep in mind that this is for printing and not for cutting vinyl. I only send Hair Lines to The cutter. And Making your page size larger doesn't hurt, I have two pages one is 3'X 96" the other is 3' X 120".
