ff-extreme 6 Posted July 15, 2008 I know you can select part of a design by using "select within" heres my question I have some font I need to change on a design and using select within you have to pick each letter one at a time some letters like a "O" you have to choose 2x. Is there a way to choose the whole word rather than each letter one by one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted July 15, 2008 once you break apart,you should be able to highlight whichever section you want to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ff-extreme 6 Posted July 15, 2008 So I pick the whole design then choose what from the dropdown to break apart? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted July 15, 2008 I think it is arrange>group>ungroup. Try and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ff-extreme 6 Posted July 16, 2008 If I try arrange>group>ungroup ugroup is not highlighted so I cant select it. If I select group I still cant select different parts. Terry where do I choose change to outlines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fivestar Posted July 16, 2008 You've got to Uncompound it and go into wireframe mode. Arrange......compound....uncompound. Then you can select any little piece you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ff-extreme 6 Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks, I give it a shot. This program is so great but so much to learn. Have you used the templates for the job and customer info yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted July 16, 2008 No I haven't had a chance to try them yet. There's a .pdf help file that'll teach you most of the things in the help part of the program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fivestar Posted July 16, 2008 No prob......I actually haven't used the help much myself....I just start clicking buttons until something that is close to what should happens, happens. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted July 16, 2008 That's how I found out what you needed to do. I tried convert to outlines...then I tried group...ungroup. Then I said damn let's see what uncompund does...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
