Menu to see all items in a project as list

I haven’t seen a feature like this in the software yet so if I missed it please let me know where I can find it because it would be so critically helpfull to have.

I have an issue with a pattern file I made in which I have made overlapping lines or splines perhaps and so it’s not visible when looking at the project visually which object is used in the different lines.

I am missing a tool panel that I can open to the right of the viewport where I can have the list of all elements in the design such as points, lines, splines, and that I can click on them to make the viewport set focus to it. Such a structured list/tree view is standard the rest of the CAD softwares and it would be essential also here for managing and mantaining pattern files.

Am I missing it somewhere in my settings or is this not implemented at all?

Place objects in groups then you can see the list of objects below the groups… double clicking an object will zoom to the object.

Also if you open the History and select an item, it will hilight the tool in the draft block:

I could easily make the History also zoom to the selected object.

I think this is a wonderful idea. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Might seem simple but could maybe all the objects be added in a group by default to start? I didn’t know that I should add them to groups for this to work and I think this would help out with anyone trying the app out at first to see the full functionality just having a default group made and items added to it by default, until the user want to select and separate them into more finer detail?

You can use the Group tool under the Operations tools to drag a large selection of objects and add them to a group in one swipe.

Then you can sort them out afterwards.

I see I will use this :slight_smile: My suggestion is more about making this more user friendly for whoever else is new and hasn’t found out yet about the groups.

The idea being that the user experience proactively does this for a new user to make it more easyer to learn the application
