| Summary | 0002895: Impossible to select a lower level object | ||||
| Description | If there is an object at a lower level that is completely within the selection area of another level, there is no way to select that lower object. What is needed is one or more of: * Recognition of acurately placed cursor position on that lower object * Ctrl- or other operation to descend and find lower object pointed to by cursor (must be able to descend multiple times) * Selection by Item number * Something else cleverer than the above. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Create diamond - colour red Create square - colour black placed lower than diamond, smaller than diamond but with some of it visible Try to select square without moving diamond or changing its level (which will work but is tedious for a complex drawing). All I can select is the diamond. See attached drawing | ||||
| Additional Information | Of course, if known in advance and for complicated things some of this can be alleviated by putting things on different layers, but some drawings require overlaid objects to be interlaced with others in a way which prevents the use of layers. | ||||
