In Illustrator CS5, how can I select only objects * joint * by an area of selection?

... rather that all objects that intersect with it?  CorelDraw x 4, for example, the default value for the Pick (the primary selection tool) tool must choose all objects in the selected area.  This is extremely useful when working with vector graphics produced in other programs (e.g. Matlab) that do not already have their structured in layers of vector objects.

I apologize if this question has been asked before, or is trivial - I'm relatively new to Illustrator.

Thanks for any help.

You can't do it natively, I wrote a script to work around the problem, repeat, a workaround solution, see post # 11

  • In Illustrator CS5, how can I evolve on the length of each row of a selection rather than the selection as a whole?

    For example, I selected the three lines in A picture below.  A right click > transform > scale... > uniform (70%), I can produce B.  However, I would like to produce C, in which each line is reduced by 70%.  (Of course, I could do it by selecting and reducing each line individually.  However my images have thousands of lines, so an individual approach is not really feasible.)

    Go to object > transform > transform each, then in wide vertical and horizontal section at 70%.

    Edit: of course, you must first select the lines you want to scale!

  • How can I select only a part of a page to analyze instead of having to scan the entire page?

    On my old Epson scanner I could do a preview and select only a position from one page to analyze.  In the garden of Image with my MX 6320, the only option is to scan the entire page.

    How can I select what I want scan before scanning?

  • How can I select only the lowest layer?

    On the Adobe site, he States:

    If you need the lowest layer selected, press Option + shift + -[.]

    Well, it does not work for me in all cases as if another layer is selected, both end up being selected.

    Inside of an Action, how can I select the lowest layer and only the lowest layer?

    And while I ask questions of Action, in an existing action, how do I start recording so that the new shares are placed right at the top? If I select the name of the Action, the new record is placed in the lower part. If I select the first element, the new record is ranked second.

    See if Option +, (comma) selects the lower layer.

    And Option +. (period) selects the top layer.

  • How can I put ONLY 9 tabs, NO 15, on the new tab Page?

    How can I put ONLY 9 tabs, NO 15, on the new tab Page?
    (First OFF... Please do not read this as being written by an angry person.) I'm just frustrated with the browser that I liked for years. I hope someone can help me)
    For a long time, I had my Firefox (version 33.0.2 - even if I don't remember getting mentions "update") defined so that every time I clicked on the tab new symbol '+' to create a new tab (which has the "new tab Page" on that), the NINE inch nails would be shown for my SELECTION and PIN sites. I LOVED!
    Yesterday, I opened Firefox and NOW when I click on the '+' to open the new tab Page... FIFTEEN thumbnails appear, 5wide x 3down, (and to be honest I probably would have the habit of 15! ha).
    Here's the PROBLEM: NONE of the thumbnails are "compressed". They ALL have "liberated" up yellow icon to the left and clicking on does nothing to remedy this of course. Other that THAT, everything else behaves normally. (that is to say moving the thumbnails, deleting, swap... I just can't pin THEM!)
    FINALLY, I prefer my 9-repositionable decals on the new tab Page.
    I went through ALL the options on the side, upside down and backwards, and I just get more frustrated.
    Can someone help me?

  • How can I transfer only the music I want?

    Hello.

    Our iMac iTunes is full of music for the whole family. How can I transfer only the songs I want on my iPod and my iPad?

    Second...

    When connecting from my iPad to my iMac USB cable the iPad goes into sync mode and transfers all sorts of things on the iMac and gets things from him. All I want is to transfer my music? How can I do this?

    Create your own playlists in iTunes.

    Connect your iDevice to the iMac - in the main iTunes window select your iDevice - menu drop-down upper left box located to the left of the music-movies, etc.

    You will see a list of 'Settings' for this device - select a tab and check the boxes of what content you want on your device.

    Also in the Group of settings select 'Summary' - from there, in the 'Options' section, you have a few additional items to choose from.

  • How can I select several images contiguous hundreds of thousands of people in my library and copy them...

    How can I select several images contiguous hundreds of thousands in my organizer of items and copy them to a USB key so I can share with a family member who doesn't have photoshop?

    I fear that even if I find a method to select and move a batch of photos, images can be in a format that his computer is not supported.

    If I understand correctly...

    The photos you have posted in a particular order (probably the result of a selection). You can select contiguous files by clicking the first item, and then, with the SHIFT key, click the last item you want. That should highlight your contiguous files.

    Then, you use the function "export" in the file menu.

    In the dialog box, you have several useful options: file format, compression, the file size, the possible change of name and the destination. This destination can be a USB key or a Dropbox folder, as suggested by hatstead.

    If you have a large number to select, it's usually possible create a search with various criteria so that only the desired files are indicated.

    If you are not satisfied with the sort order (chronological, filename, import batch), I suggest to create an album. In an album, you can manually sort you want by moving the thumbnails in the navigation area. (Depends on your version of elements).

    Then all you have to do after that selection should select all (Ctrl A) and to export.

  • How can I show only images with the tag specific higher in the hierarchy of keywords, not including sublevels?

    I use a lot the hierarchical keywords.  For example, the location of the World/Europe/Austria/Tirol/specific.  I sometimes attribute only a top-level keyword (example: Austria) of an image when I don't know any more details.  How can I show only the images that have the label that I select, but not those with levels of basements for this keyword?  Exactly as the choice in folders view to examine only a folder selected, but not subfolders.  There could be a complicated way to implement a smart collection that includes a keyword, but excludes images with more that this number of keywords, but that could be really intensive work.

    It's easy, but fairly obscure: in the library filter bar, select the keyword column.  Click on the 'Properties' button on the right, and then select display: flat.  Now painfully, scroll through the list and select the desired keyword:
