    Edit position of all items on a layer?

    A little background info may be helpful here: I am a technical illustrator for a company that mainly does tech manuals for the aerospace industry. Part of what I do is take the 3d models that our customers supply and deconstruct them into exploded views for use in their manuals. This requires...

    Edit position of all items on a layer?

    No, it is not an illegal move!! - I just found out that while in the 'Explode/Edit Position' function, when you click on a specific layer (in the layer tree window) to select all of the items on that layer, they do not register as 'selected' until you right-click on the layer and choose...

    Disappearing menus

    That sounds like a great way to fix the problem and double the working screen area at the same time, however, I think I would have better luck asking the IT dept. here for a 2nd head. :) I was assuming that there would be a simple fix for such a simple problem, but it's not looking that way...

    Disappearing menus

    That's what I've been doing, but I was hoping that there was some way to keep them from disappearing in the first place. Some kind of 'always-on-top' setting in the config.pro file that I was unaware of, or something like that. Thanks for responding though. Chris

    Wildfire 2 screen flashing

    I don't know if this will help your specific problem or not, but in WF2 you can permanently disable the 'preselection highlighting' (which was causing all kinds of annoying blinking and flashing with my machine) by adding the line 'prehighlight no' to the 'config.pro' file (or by setting it with...

    Disappearing menus

    Is there any way to keep the interactive menus (like the 'View Manager' menu) from disappearing behind the main window (WF2)? Digging them up after they bury themselves every few minutes is getting old. Thanks, Chris

    Edit position of all items on a layer?

    OK, so I figured out how to move certain items to a specific layer (in WF2) which makes hiding/unhiding very easy, helpful, useful, etc., but what I really need to do is move all of the items on the layer together. When I attempt to use the Explode/Edit Position function to move them, it acts...

    Selecting multiple components

    Thanks Dave, that does help, and is better than what I was doing, but I what I was really hoping for was some way to drag a selection box over the items to be selected, or to place a boundary around them, as is possible with Catia (or most any other program for that matter). Thanks very much...

    Selecting multiple components

    I can't seem to find any other way to select multiple components (in Wildfire) other than by clicking on every individual part with the ctrl key held down. This is incredibly tedious when there are a multitude of pieces (not grouped together as an assembly) that need to be moved together...
