I would like to make a suggestion for a new feature to be added to
ArtWorks.
I would like a way to select all objects that are within the boundary
of the selected path (shape) object. I don't mean boundary as in the
square bounding box of the path, but the actual path itself.
So for example, say you had a number of objects on a page, such as a
number of rectangles, some ellipse objects, shapes, text lines etc and
a shape object that was drawn around all of them. I'll like a way to
select all those objects that sat inside the path. The objects that
would be selected could be either above or below the selected path. In
other words think of the path as a complex marquee to describe what
gets selected.
I could imagine the method to be:
1. Select the path object
2. Menu: Objects -> Select objects within shape
3. you are left with all the object selected
that are within the shape, plus the shape itself.
Would anyone else find this useful? I know I would find it extremely
handy.
Regards,
Gavin
