How do I select a section that has multiple layers?

I cannot figure out how to do this.
I work with large city maps. What I need to do is select a rectangular portion of the map, cut it and paste it into a new file. From there I edit that section as needed.  I can use the selection tool and select an area, but what it does is selects the area and any joined lines. This map is over 11 layers thick.
Every help manual online has only pertained to working with a single layer.
Is it possible to cut out a rectangular section from a multiple layer project?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

You can make an artboard to the rectangle shape ( you do this by holdog the shift key down as you drag the artboard tool to make the new artboard within an artboard) you need then select the artbord tool while holding the option key down to drag a duplicate of the artboard and its contents to a portion of the canvas not being used by the orignial document.
Now some of the items that extend beyond the artboard will be copied as well
now you can draw a rectangle to match the artbaords dimensions and while it is still selected go to Object>Path>Divide Objects Below.
the delete the objects out side of the rectangles dimensions including any part of the rectangle youse to divide the objects below with.
One problem with this method any open path will not be divided so you have to manually scissor them and then delete.
The good thing about this is that the layers remain intact and all layers are copied.
Once deleted the extraneous art you can marques select the cropped art and either copy and paste or cut and paste.
Or just leave it in the document as a separate artboard

  • How to I upload a folder that has multiple files in it?

    How do I upload a folder that has multiple files in it? I need to upload an entire folder onto a web page but when I choose the folder it opens it up and becomes individual files instead of just the one folder.

    You generally can't upload a folder to a website, but some sites allow you to select multiple files. You'll have to refer to the specific website instructions to see if that's possible.
    Alternatively, it might be appropriate to first compress the folder in the Finder using rightclick, then "Compress", which creates a single .ZIP file - then upload this file.

    You will need a document storage, player, or manager to save the file (DropBox, File Manager, Box, VLC, MoliPlayer for example).
    To actually save the file, with it open in iMessage, tap the file icon (lower left) and select the app to save it in.

  • "Contacting server for information" when selecting a mail that has already been read

    In Outlook 2013 using an Imap/google account I very often the message “Contacting server for information” when selecting a mail that has ALREADY been read. I am not trying to forward or reply just simply selecting the mail. Why is the program trying to get
    information from the server that it already did receive once?
    How do I get Outlook to stop this ridicules behavior?

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen on each email you selected?
    Outlook displays this message whenever it needs to load content in your email, but the required content is being downloaded slowly or there is a connectivity issue with the content location.
    Please try to go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Automatic Download and untick the check box labelled "Don’t Download Pictures Automatically in HTML E-mail Messages or RSS Items". Click OK and then test again.
    In addition, if the email has a linked image, the image will not be downloaded locally on the system and it will be downloaded every time you open the email.
    Besides, some third-party add-in may also cause such issue. Please try to open Outlook in safe mode and check if this issue continues. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook /safe and press Enter.
    Please let me know the result.

    I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.

  • How do you select an object that is directly under another object?

    How do you select an object that is directly under another object?
    I was working from a template and I wanted to make a text box the same size as a column box that was put there in order to keep the text in the confines of the paper that is was being printed to.
    I could actually put text in each column fine but I wanted it to be in a text box so that I could slightly tilt the test box to compensate for my printer feeding it in slightly wrong. I accomplished this on another template but I could not on this one. If I was working in InDesign or something I know I could just select that layer but I'm at a loss of what to do here. How do I select a column right under a text box? I just thought of something. Once I make the text boxes the same size as the columns I think I can just delete the columns from the inspector. But that would be kind of a work around. I know you can hold down command when nothing is selected from outside the document and then highlight but this is not working. Does anyone have some tips and tricks when it comes to having control over which objects you are selecting when it comes to objects that are overlapped as well as directly over each other.
    Thanks.
    Tim

    I'm not sure it's documented any where, but it's not too difficult. First, ⌘-click outside of the layout area to enter object mode then drag the cursor towards the two objects until you see the handles. Now, again ⌘-click on the top object to deselect it. You can now move the underlying object to the front to edit, delete, etc.
    After typing this, it dawned on me, why not just click the top object to select it & move it to the back? I've only done the other way a bazillion times & now I think of this.

    I bought a new 3tb internal drive for my windows machine so I can backup an external drive which I didn't know was mac formatted. When I was trying to extend the capacity of my internal drives in wndows so it would add another 3tb I accidentally chose my exteranal drive and it changed the master boot record although I cancelled the process the drive won't mount in my mac anymore. And I get those errors in the disck utility.
    The data in it are very important I was trying to backup it to my sohotank harddrive enclosure which already had a 2tb and now a 3tb installed. Any help would be appreaciated.
    I'm now trying to create an image of the mac drive and had reformatted my 3tb drive to Mac just so I can place the image there. I don't know if it would work or it will jus take too long because the progress bar is not moving at all.
    Thanks!
