Operation

Allows you to configure the operating procedure for the layer and the like when the [Object] sub tool is used.

Some settings may not display depending on the selected layer or object.

(1)   Operation of transparent part

Configures the operation when a transparent area (area where nothing is drawn) is clicked or dragged.

Switch to a different layer   

Clicking a transparent area of the selected layer selects objects on other layers with drawings at the clicked point.

Operate object by dragging

You can choose options for [Use 3D layer] and [Set direction of parallel line ruler].

Use 3D layer	If you drag a transparent area while selecting a 3D layer, you can carry out operations selected with the Movement Manipulator or rotating the camera on the 3D layer.
Set direction of parallel line ruler [PRO/EX]	Dragging when the parallel line ruler is displayed changes the direction of the parallel line ruler in the dragged direction.

Select area by dragging [PRO/EX]

You can set how to select items when dragging a transparent area while selecting a layer such as a vector layer or balloon layer. You can select either [Object] or [Control point].

Object	Select objects within the dragged area on the current layer.
Control point	Select control points within the dragged area on the current layer.

Move within transformation frame by dragging

You can set operation when dragging transparent areas when there is a transformation frame on the layer.

Enable on all layers	You can move images within the transformation frame and layer frame by dragging within the transformation frame when it is visible on the layer.
Enable for 2D camera fold­ers only	You can move 2D camera folder transformation frames by dragging within the folder’s frame. The other layers cannot be moved.

Transformation frames are shown when importing image material layers, selecting an object such as a vector layer and when executing commands from the [Edit] menu → [Transform] submenu. If using a canvas with an active timeline, they will also appear when [Enable keyframes on this layer] is turned on, and when selecting a 2D camera folder.

(2)   Selectable object

Configures the types of layers and objects that can be selected by clicking. The layers and objects that can be configured are as follows:

·Raster

·Vector [PRO/EX]

·Image material

·3D

·Balloon [PRO/EX]

·Text

·Frame border [PRO/EX]

·Gradient [PRO/EX]

·Fill [PRO/EX]

·Ruler [PRO/EX]

·Saturated line/Stream line [PRO/EX]

·2D camera

(3)   Add Selection [PRO/EX]

Configures the operation when another object or control point is selected when there are already selected objects or control points.

New selection	Cancels the current selection to select new objects or control points.
Add to selection	Adds new objects or control points to the current selection.
Remove from selection	Removes newly selected objects or control points from the current selection.

(4)   Snap to other frame borders [PRO/EX]

Allows snapping to another side of the frame border or its extension when a control point or side of a frame border is moved. This setting displays when a frame border folder is selected.

(5)    Keep gutters aligned [PRO/EX]

This sets the method to control the sides and control points of frame borders. This setting displays when a frame border folder is selected.

None

This will only move the selected side or control point. Other sides and control points of frame borders will not move.

Horizontal & adjacent

When moving sides or control points of a frame, connecting gutters will move as well.

Horizontal frame borders adjacent to the moving side or control points will move as well.

However, when moving a vertical frame border, only the immediately adjacent frame border will move. Any other adjacent border will not move.

When using wider frame borders, the border may not move with the sides or control points. If so, set the frame border’s vertical gutter and horizontal gutter wider than the frame border gap in the [Preferences] dialog.

All

When moving sides or control points of a frame, connecting gutters will move as well.

Horizontal frame borders adjacent to the moving side or control points will move as well.

Vertical frame borders adjacent to the moving side or control points will move as well.

When using wider frame borders, the border may not move with the sides or control points. If so, set the frame border’s vertical gutter and horizontal gutter wider than the frame border gap in the [Preferences] dialog.
