How to select only the objects in a marquee?

I am a new user of Illustrator CS5, switching from Freehand. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to select only the objects in a marquee? In AutoCAD, you can make a selection on the left window to the right and only those objects entirely in the window are selected. If you the window right on the left all the objects that are "crossed" or affected by the window are selected. Is there a similar technique in Illustrator?

Currently, I have to select the objects, and then go back and hold the SHIFT key to deselect the object I don't want, or lock layers to prevent additional items get selected.

NO.

  • Select only the objects in a rectangle selection

    I am a new user of Illustrator CS5, switching from Freehand. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to select only the objects in a marquee? In AutoCAD, you can make a selection on the left window to the right and only those objects entirely in the window are selected. If you the window right on the left all the objects that are "crossed" or affected by the window are selected. Is there a similar technique in Illustrator?

    Currently, I have to select the objects, and then go back and hold the SHIFT key to deselect the object I don't want, or place objects on different layers and then lock the layers to prevent additional items get selected.

    In AutoCAD, my main program, you simply draw a window selection, left or right, depending on what your next step would be. No special tools or rocking or thinking, that's just the selection primary process and very intuitive.

    I posted a discussion on the Illustrator forum several months ago, which still arouses comments so this seems to be a tool that would be appreciated by many users. Someone posted a script but it has not worked for me yet.

    Thank you for everything that you can do to solve this problem.

    This is a copy of my last post of the original thread. I found some discussions confused because I have no experience in writing or by using scripts. So I copied all the recommendations in a document to read without the comments and digressions. After several hours and a lot of searching on Google I found what solution adapted to my goal, which was a selection process fast and simple with fewer steps to use.

    So, I think I have this job. The following is what I did:

    1 copy the script by Carlos Canto post #11 here:

    2. open the ExtendScript Toolkit Utilities > Adobe utilities - CS5.5 > ExtendScript Toolkit CS5.5 > ExtendScript Toolkit CS5.5.App

    3. when the program opens, paste the script in the large Panel on the left.

    4. then go to file > save as.

    5. that the dialog box click on the arrow next to the save box slot to expand the section options.

    6. next, go to Applications > Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 > Presets > en_US > Scripts.

    7. then, in the Save as box enter a name to identify the script (I named mine Window1).

    8. click on save and close the Toolbox.

    Launch Illustrator and open a drawing.

    1 using the rectangle tool, I drew a rectangle around the objects.

    2. make sure that the new rectangle is selected.

    3. I went to file > Scripts > Window1.

    4A got an error message - error 8705: target layer cannot be changed 25-> iart.selected + true line:

    5. you click OK.

    6 unlocked all the layers.

    7. my new activated rectangle.

    8. went to file > Scripts > Window1.

    9 here! Items in the rectangle are selected and the rectangle is removed.

    So yes, this script works as requested. Thank you, Carlos.

  • How to select only the part by using the sql query

    Hello

    I have the task to retrieve only the integral of the input text by using the sql query.

    The entry is as follows

    Entry for the price setting

    $12.5 (FYI without space)

    $ 12.5 (FYI single space)

    $ 12.5 (double space FYI)

    $12.5 (FYI multiple space)

    $12.5 (FYI multiple space)

    Output expected of 12.5

    The price is the type varchar2 column in the store_price table.

    Please let me know how to achieve this.

    Thanks in advance.

    If this is always the case that you get a $ followed by a number of places, you can use something like:

    Select to_number (ltrim ('$ 12.5',' $')) DOUBLE

    or

    SELECT ltrim ('$ 12.5',' $') OF double

    but take care of your nls_numeric_character settings if they are defined so that, for example, a comma is the decimal separator, you will have a problem.

    Is it possible to do through XMLTABLE, or I have to number each of the lines that results from (what I know how to do) and then create a group to prove XMLTABLE? The latter seems awkward to me, so I'd avoid it if possible, but if this is the way to go, I can do it.

    Thank you.

    Is it possible to do through XMLTABLE, or I have to number each of the lines that results from (what I know how to do) and then create a group to prove XMLTABLE?

    Indeed, it is a possible way:

    select x.fruit_type,
       min(fruit_subtype) keep(dense_rank last order by rn) as fruit_subtype
from   sd,
       xmltable('/Fruits/Fruit'
               passing sd.fruit_xml
               columns fruit_type VARCHAR2(25) path 'FruitType',
                       fruit_subtype VARCHAR2(25) path 'FruitSubtype',
                       rn for ordinality) x
where fruit_type in ('Apple','Pear')
group by fruit_type
;

    Other options, should push the logic of consolidation in the XQuery:

    select x.*
from sd,
     xmltable('/Fruits/Fruit[FruitType="Apple"][last()] |
               /Fruits/Fruit[FruitType="Pear"][last()]'
              passing sd.fruit_xml
              columns fruit_type VARCHAR2(25) path 'FruitType',
                      fruit_subtype VARCHAR2(25) path 'FruitSubtype'
     ) x
;

    or,

    select x.*
from   sd,
       xmltable('for $i in distinct-values(/Fruits/Fruit/FruitType)
                 return /Fruits/Fruit[FruitType=$i][last()]'
               passing sd.fruit_xml
               columns fruit_type VARCHAR2(25) path 'FruitType',
                       fruit_subtype VARCHAR2(25) path 'FruitSubtype'
                       ) x
where x.fruit_type in ('Apple','Pear')
;

    or,

    select x.*
from   sd,
       xmltable('/Fruits/Fruit[not(following-sibling::Fruit/FruitType=./FruitType)]'
               passing sd.fruit_xml
               columns fruit_type VARCHAR2(25) path 'FruitType',
                       fruit_subtype VARCHAR2(25) path 'FruitSubtype'

  • It is not clear to me that my desktop images get synchronized to the mobile in Lightroom or how to select only the pictures I want to synchronize

    some clarification on this would be appreciated

    I see no advantage to have all my images Desktop Sync and that's what happened so that I stopped the synch

    Hi natureron,

    You have the choice of synchronization of specific collections you want.

    In the Panel collections, there is a sync button on the left of the collections that you can choose and set the collections that you want to synchronize.

    And the same button can be used to stop the synchronization for a specific collection.

    See this tutorial for more information on synchronization:

  • Select only visible objects in Illustrator...

    I exported some 3D models of Cinema 4 d and I'm cleaning them in Illustrator.

    Unfortunately, the problem inherent in the export of 3D models is that each polygon/face is one exported as a separate object.

    I need to use the Scout to consolidate each pollygon into more manageable objects to paint... but it's really annoying that I have to zoom, and then select each poloygon I want to group it with the pathfinder tool.

    It would be much easier that I could set the selection tool to select only the objects visible... or rather objects which are not covered by other objects.

    Is it possible to narrow the selection in this way, when you drag an area of selection on a group of items.

    Any help would be much apreciated.

    Thank you!

    OK, I solved my problem and I am posting this to totally want to chance that somone else trying to do the same thing

    in order to get the kind of selectablilty you want to...

    • first go into your 3d software and chop your 3d model in groups you want, combined using the pathfinder, once you export to illustrator
    • Then, assign a different texture to those cut color groups so your 3d model is mainly coded in color
    • then export the model with the backfaces shot if you do not export pollygons used to be visible on the final artwork
    • one time exported, open in illustrator, using the magic wand tool to select the color of the faces groups and combine it with the pathfinder

    This process will take the required number of clickes to simplify your illustration of about 1500 clicks, at about 7

  • How to call only the operations of several connectors of ICF through simple connector server

    Hi Experts,

    I developed two connectors of the ICF (ICF1 and ICF2) and placed the beams of connector on the same server connector.

    Please guide me how to get only the authorities of each of the connector to call operations of each separately.

    I use following code-

    List of < ConnectorInfo > this.getConnectorInfoManager = cInfos () .getConnectorInfos ();

    System.out.println (cInfos.Size ());

    for {(ConnectorInfo cInfo:cInfos)

    APIConfiguration apiConfiguration = cInfo.createDefaultAPIConfiguration ();

    setPoolConfigurations (apiConfiguration);

    Discoveryendpointspecifie configProps = apiConfiguration.getConfigurationProperties ();

    this.setUpConfigurationProperties (configProps);

    ConnectorFacadeFactory facadeFactory = ConnectorFacadeFactory.getInstance ();

    ConnectorFacade connectorFacade = (apiConfiguration) facadeFactory.newInstance;

    connectorFacade.test ();

    }

    Methods of all connectors are called here to test and how do I selectively invoke test() selective connectors?

    Hello

    The connector of the ICF is called by these configurations in the 'Lookup.CONNECTOR_NAME. Research of configuration. The search name is configured in the COMPUTER resource

    We have the following values configured in the search based on who the connector class fires is

  • Clear the selection of the object by the effects

    CS6 when you apply an effect that develops somewhat the appearance of an object, for example by several clones, all of these clones becomes selectable.  If you click on or drag-box, an area that includes these clones, the original object will be selected.

  • Filter in adobe bridge to select only the Raw files to DNG format convert

    Here's my problem - I have a new camera DMC TZ70 and 5.7 Lightroom does not recognize the. RW2 files. I would need to buy LR6! Maybe later.

    So I thought that I import via the bridge and convert to DNG.

    So I open the bridge, and then select the camera - great - BUT there are files for Raw, the same number of JPEG files images and some .bdm. TDT etc files. (for example 3 raw + 7 others).

    I can set up a filter to Show only Raw files when I see what files are in the folder of the card at the Bridge, but when I select "get photos from camera" I can either select all OR deselect and then I need to MANUALLY select raw files. There seems not to be a way to set up a filter in the form of Downloader so that bridge selects only the Raw files for conversion.

    If I left it all, Bridge Converts the RW2 in DNG files, but also provides in the JPGs and other files. I can delete these later, but this seems an inefficient way to do it.

    Is it possible to manually select raw files in the form of Photo Downloader?

    Advice please, thank you, Mel

    I guess the answer's bridge doesn't do what I want, but not Lightroom - bought LR6

    Hello

    I use Flash CS4 and need to resize my Flash scene and all the objects that are there.

    To do this, I enabled the onion skin tool, selected all the objects and all the frames and resized using the Transform tool.

    However, masks and some paths are not set to scale proportionately. Is it yet another bug in CS4?

    Here is a video illustrating the issue: http://screencast.com/t/ZThiNDdkZ

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Maybe you can try this way...

    Select the layer in the timeline. cut it. Create a new movieclip by pressing Ctrl + F8. Paste the layers.

    out to the main timeline.

    Drag the movieclip that is created in the timeline where ever it is necessary and he adapts accordingly.
