Selecting objects. Esko 16

Studio Essentials

After the repeat, you will have multiple instances of a single object. This means making changes to one of the objects will also modify the others, while you can move and rotate the instances independently.

If you have one instance selected, you can use Edit > Select all copies to select all instances.

Note: All instances of the object will use the same Printable Part. This means that all instances will share the same graphics. See

Different graphics on shapes of the same size on page 112

When you import or create objects in Studio Toolkit you also might need to select them. Go to the Edit menu to view the selection options.

There are several ways of selecting objects:

• Simply click on an object to select it.

• Hold Shift and click to select multiple objects.

• Use the Cmd-A (Mac) or Control-A (Windows) shortcut to select all the objects.

• When an object that is part of a repeat is selected, you can use Select all copies to select the other instances of the repeat. You can also use the Cmd+Option+A (Mac) or Control+Alt

+A (Windows) shortcut.
