Studio Toolkit for Flexibles
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.
Note: If you have one instance selected, you can use Edit > Select all copies to select all instances.
6.6 Selecting objects
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.
• "Select all copies" is only available when an object that is part of a repeat is selected. It will select the other instances of the repeat. Use the Cmd+Option+A (Mac) or Control+Alt+A (Windows) shortcut.
• "Invert Selection" will select all objects that are not part of the current selection.
• 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.
Tip: By holding the option (Mac) or alt (Windows) key and clicking on one object several times, you can select objects that are behind the selected object.
Note: Most selection options also work in 2D view.
6.7 Tabs
At the bottom of your Studio Toolkit window, you can see the different Tabs.
First is always the 3D tab. Next to that, a 2D tab is shown for every 2D object created in Studio
Toolkit: a Sleeve, a Label, a Bag, ...
Deleting an object will also delete the corresponding 2D tab. Different instances (created using
Repeat share the same 2D tab. In that case the 2D tab will be deleted if the last instance of the object is removed.
You can rename any 2D tab by double clicking the name and entering the new name.
Note: The name entered for the 2D tab will be stored as the name for the technical drawing in the collada file, and will thus be used when importing the collada file e.g. in Studio Designer.
