      Can you make box selection tool similar to Affinity Designer?

      I prefer Affinity Designer selection tool approach better, than Vectorstyler.
      In attached videos I show you why.

      Affinity Designer:

      Vector Styler:

      We have a group of objects overlapping one another.
      In Affinity Designer, shapes marked as a whole objects are selected.
      If, I use similar approach in Vectorstyler all shapes are marked regardless.

        @visualrevolt You need to uncheck 'Intersecting Selection' in Preferences > Editing Options 2.

            @visualrevolt Btw, I'm curious if intersecting selection is available in AD and if it is, which mode is the default?

              I guess this won't be the last time. 🙂

                @b77 As far as I know by default is only one mode. There is an option how to select certain objects from select menu, but regarding customisation is not even closer to Vectorstyler.

                I use both programs and they are great 👍

                  @Subpath I agree. I always feel like I need to preface my requests on the forum with "This is probably already in the program but I could not find it by myself,"

                  It feels like everything is already implemented or if not, it's already been suggested and added to the queue to be added in a future update.
