Selecting multiple layers

Post by whitefern »

Hi. Is it possible to select multiple layers quickly in SCAL 4? In Photoshop and other programmes, I can select contiguous layers with Click + Shift+Click and non-contiguous layers with Click + Ctrl+Click. That doesn't work in SCAL. I have to Shift+Click on each layer which, depending, can take ages.

Tks

I'm not aware of any shortcuts for selecting layers beyond what you've mentioned. I've not found a need for that which may be due to organizing more as I design. I tend to Object>Group things together that I know will be cut together which then results in fewer layers on the Layers Panel. I also take advantage of the Pages function to keep things simpler, as well.

Hi Sandy. Thanks for replying :) I can't remember specifically now what I was doing but it came to mind and I thought I'd see if anyone knew if you could select multiple layers easily. I don't come across the need often but it does happen and I thought there had to be a quicker way than clicking on each single layer. I sure appreciated being able to hide the cut line layer while I cut the object as I sometimes use a lighter force on the cut lines.
I wouldn't know how to design but I do have some awesome cutting files, thanks to very talented people.
Cheers

You're welcome! And good point about others' cutting files that you might import.
