Object Selection and Name Gallery
When you select an object or several objects on the page, its name and other
properties, like named color, font and style (text objects) are shown highlighted in the
Name Gallery with a half or full red circle:
indicates that there are other objects or copies of this object with the according
name or property.
indicates the selected object/s are the only occurrences of the name or other
property on the page. This is useful if you want to be sure of selecting all
occurrences of a named object or e.g. a specific font used.
The other way around you can also select objects using the
NAME GALLERY. By
clicking in the circle to the left of an item in the gallery you will select some or all
occurrences of the object with that property.
As above, means there are other occurrences of this named object that were not
selected, typically because they are locked and so are not selectable.
means all occurrences of this name are selected.
If there is no selection circle is before a name, that is because this name is not applied
to any object on the page.
With the
INTERSECT and SELECT command you can use a combination of Name gallery
items to select objects by. Intersect selects objects that use all of the chosen items,
e.g. chosing the red color and the Arial font selects all text objects that are red and
using the Arial font. With the
SELECT command (you'll find it under the MORE...
button) you select objects that use any of the chosen items, given the above example
this would be any object that is red or using the Arial font.
Naming objects
You can apply names to any object in MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013
using the “Apply, remove or inspect names of objects” button on the
SELECTOR
TOOL
infobar. Alternatively right click an object and choose NAMES from the
context menu.
Naming is a general mechanism which has a variety of uses, some of which are
described below. Most commonly names are used to form loose sets of objects.
