Rulers as Objects

Apes
Apes over 15 years ago
I am adjusting to rulers being able to be copied, moved, stretched etc. However I find that sometimes I need to select a lot of things and I don't want the rulers to come with me. perhaps they are my references for the edit. I stumbled across the fact that in the LSW if I go to the Object submenu and turn all objects NS the rulers are no longer selectable! Yeah! I would like to know is there a way to add Ruler [VIS] [Sel] into this submenu? because unless I use the global NS for all objects, I am unable to control it individually. (I posted this in the wrong forum earlier, so sorry. )

    Lin,

    No you cannot make them permanently unselectable (not sure why you would want to - because being able to select them to move or stretch them is rather useful (at least now and again). In IC615 you can use the Edit->Select->Set Selection Protection will mark any selected objects as being unselectable - and this info is saved in the database. They then are no longer selectable except if you use the other menus in the Edit->Select menu to make them selectable again.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
