Hello!
I am a newbie here and a cameo converter. I've watched several videos and consider myself pretty tech savvy. However, I cannot get this one simple feature to work. If I open a traced file and say I want to clean it up a bit. I turn off all layers except the layer I want to clean up. I break it apart. I then turn everything off that I want to keep and try to select the shards that are left by using the selection tool and drawing a box around everything that is showing on the mat. When I hit delete, it deletes everything including the layers I have turned off. I watched several videos where you can select it by drawing a box around it and delete and then turn your other layers back on. This is also how it works in the Silhouette software, so I am familiar with the feature. It just doesn't let me select only those layers that are turned on unless I individually click on each layer and delete one by one. Also, can you not select a range of multiple layers by holding shift and clicking on the first and last layer ? If so, I can't do that either.
Also, it will not let me select only the layers turned on, if I draw a box around the area, it selects every layer off and on in the layers pallet. If I want to delete shards, I literally have to go in an do it layer by layer by layer one at a time.

Re: selecting layers that are turned on
Lorrie, if you can post the file without violating copyright it might help diagnose what is going on. If you cannot post the file then can you do a screen capture of the layers panel…one with all the layers "on" and one with the ones turned off. It could be that you have "groups" interfering with selecting pieces.
