Is it possible to only select the visible layers to copy/paste in place.

Hello!

I must be missing something.  In Adobe Illustrator, when you select a layer (or Sub-layer) to copy, is it possible to copy only visible layers and not those hidden?

When I provide my clients with their final illustrator files, I only want to register the approved artwork.  Currently, I make a copy of the file and go through and delete hidden files, it would be much easier to copy and paste in place visible layers in an Adobe illustrator file.

Thank you!

Given that your items are grouped, select objects on the artboard should be as effective as Select layers in the layer panel.

You will not be able to resolve this layer-selection-irritation. Happened for some versions. You might consider to report it as a bug.

The link that I used to post on these occasions no longer works. Google sent me this one, I hope it works for you:

  • Photoshop CC Auto-possibilite select the hidden layers

    Hi, I am not sure if this is a bug or what... When I click on and drag with the move of the automatic selection of the multiple layers tool, it will not select only the layers that I wanted, but also layers hidden in the same area of my selection (or at least, layers, which are in the hidden groups).

    For example, say I have a layer group. I duplicate the group, and then make the original group invisible so that I can create an alternative version. When I clock and drag to select the objects in the new group, the (hidden) in the former group objects get selected as well, so I'm obliged to selection click on every article I want to change... forever.

    This is different from all previous versions of PS and a big trouble.

    If someone else can confirm this bug, or is it just me? Or not consider you this as a bug? I see some specific cases where it can be useful, but I would like to control this behavior as a preferece. Maybe there is already a preference for this problem and I just have not found. Any comments would be more useful

    See you soon,.

  • Is generator - possible to refer to the other layers?

    Hello people!

    I recently started to discover the generator. I have a document with about 30 layers with pictures, and then there is a top layer with a logo that should appear in all images. Is there a way that I can refer to this layer in the jargon of the generator, so that each of the 30 layers is generated with also this layer?

    Thanks in advance!

    I can tell that it's actually quite possible, due to the fact that it is possible to use layers for the generator. Just add the syntax for layer comp names rather than layers. Works like a charm!

  • Export the visible layers in photoshop by using the script.

    Hello

    I am new to adobe script, so please forgive me if this has been covered before.

    I have a book script Adobe Scripting of Chandler McWilliam, I want to use. Essentially, it exports all visible layers in a document open in PS. The script works, but I can't seem to export to a folder/directory of my choice. It is default export to the folder that contains the Photoshop application.

    I use a Mac.

    The Script looks like this:

    function exportVisible (doc) {}

    var myJPEG = new JPEGSaveOptions();

    myJPEG.quality = 10;

    myJPEG.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;

    var myPath = ' / users/tr/Desktop/JAVATESTFOLDER ";

    var myFolder = new Folder (myPath);

    myFolder.create ();

    var settings = new Array();

    var current; Reference to the current layer

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    settings [i] = current.visible;

    doc. Layers [i]. Visible = false;

    }

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    If (settings [i]) {}

    Current.Visible = true;

    var myFile = new File ("Img-" + current.name + '.jpg');

    doc.saveAs (myFile, myJPEG, true);

    Current.Visible = false;

    }

    }

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    Current.visible = settings [i];

    }

    }

    exportVisible (activeDocument);

    I tried many variations, but in vain. I would be very grateful for any advice.

    I've not heard JJ found, but you need to add the path of access, but with my corrections.

    var myFile = new file (myPath + "/ Img-" + current.name + '.jpg');

  • All the editing options appear disabled when you compose the message, impossible to copy &amp; paste, etc they are grayed out in the menu and do not work in a mouse right click

    Change options - Undo, redo, copy, paste, paste without formatting work, is that they are shaded out in the Edit menu and do not work on the right click of the mouse. I disabled add ons, run in safe mode, go out and restarted but the problem persists. Can anyone help urgent please.

    Mine are greyed out until they can do something. So they're all gray until I have started typing, pasting is grayed if there is nothing on the Clipboard and copy / cut are gray until I have select something.

    Yours are always grey, even after doing these other things?

  • Is it possible to manually select the images that you want imported from the camera?

    original title: SLR digital import question

    is there a way to choose which images get imported when importing images from my Canon t2i to my laptop? most of the photos on my camera have been imported already and filled my hard drive, so I transferred to a portable hard drive to expand the memory and allow for me to continue to load/save my photos. I want to download only the pictures at the end of my memory chip, essentially without having to wait a long time for the other 300 + pictures to import the big file for each and the jpg version, accompanying all over again because they are mostly high-quality... (I keep the actual chips with pictures on them as a backup (have not printed on most of the photos I had even for albums, etc. so I don't want to lose anything by deleting after you import each time, because they are all the memories with my husband and 2 children..))

    ===================================

    Something to try...

    Connect the device to your PC via a USB cable and turn
    on the camera... If open windows... Close them.

    According to... to... Start / my computer... the camera can be
    listed as a drive letter...

    If_yes_right click on the drive letter and select... Explorer or
    Open... This should display the directory of the memory card.
    You can copy and paste or drag and drop the files from there to a
    folder on your hard drive.

    (The same steps work if you have a media player...
    When you go to... Start / desktop media slots...
    Drive should be listed under... "Removable disk" with a drive
    letter.)

  • Why can only select the 'I' beam tool?

    Audition CS6 in Master Collection... I'm new to it, so it can be finger on my part, but I'm working on an MP3 file and all I get is pass it tools. Others (razor, sheet, move, marquee, etc.) are visible but not active. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Andy

    Thanks Steve, I'm in waveform and spectral pitch pulled up saw, but I can not select anything to the right or left of the I beam.

    You will not get the tools Rectangle selection or a brush activated in Pitch display spectral. You must be in the spectral frequency display so that these tools is enabled.

  • Is it possible to only use the keyboard to move a window on the desktop?

    I have a lot of fun trying to do it all with just the keys and trackpad not.  One that I'm missing and it would be very useful would be to find a way to move windows with just the use of keys.  I expect the arrows would be involved, but to do something about the window I want to move.

    I believe you can use the best tool to touch (http://www.bettertouchtool.net) to assign keyboard shortcuts to move the windows.

  • How to select the photos to be copied

    I have Photoshop CS3 and I am rather new to him. Can you tell me how to upload two photos, so I can put one on the other and make a good idea. I can open two images, but I need to have two points in the far right column, so I choose both. Am I clear?

    The easiest way is to use the gum with maybe a brush flexible and lower starting with opacity.

    As always in the PS, there are several ways to achieve the same end result but it is the simplest to make and the faster to write!
