Summary0008631: Select objects on any layer and more
DescriptionClick on any object to select it no matter what layer it is on without going to the Layers pallet first. When the object is selected the Layers panel will switch to that layer automatically when the object is clicked.

Layer info (Layer Name - Lock - Blend - Number of object on layer "Items" - Printable - Object Name and optionally the type of object, Text, Image, Line, Shape) will be displayed in the Status bar on the lower left hand side of the screen.

The Layers pallet will also show the number of objects on the layer.

The Layers pallet does not need to be open for any of this to work.
TagsNo tags attached.

It would be nice to be able to select all objects from one page or portion of page accross the layers to modify them as if they were a single object : move, duplicate, resize, rotate. It's usefull to correct an allready nearly finished page to convert it to another paper size, or to rotate pages for imposition. Acting on each layer separatly is time consuming and sometimes all the layer stack has to be reorganize. I don't know if it is the right place to ask for this rfe, but i think it's related to this one.

One of the points of layers is that you CANNOT select items on them...

Very true, although leaving the objects open to selection on any layer and then letting the designer lock the layer to make it non-selectable would speed up work flow. The designer can lock only certain objects Ctrl + L on a layer if he/she doesn't want to lock the whole layer.
