Selection of multiple endpoints
-
Is it possible to select multiple points across more than one object, and move them all at the same time?
As an examle, I am making a user guide for a piece of furniture I've designed, and would like to move the bubble containing part No.8, and the gathered ends of all the lines which indicate where that part is to be fitted. Screen Shot 2013-12-06 at 11.40.12.pdf
This is simple in Indesign, using the direct selection tool to drag a marquee over the bubble, which picks up all the arrowed line endpoints etc. and I can then move them all at once.I'm sure I did manage to do it once, completely by accident. I'd like to know if I was just dreaming or not, and if not, how to do it again!

you may have seen this in sketchup as object stick to each other . I have not seen this done in Layout.

It definitely wasn't in SU, as I don't do that kind of thing with it. It was either Layout, or a hallucination

Maybe you need to get some rest.
Actually, it can be done if the thing is built correctly. Take a look at the attached LO file. If you start with a label, you can group the text box with the circle and copy the arrow with the ends attached to the circle.

That's a great workaround, thanks! I haven't quite got my head around how to create it from scratch just yet, but it's been a heavy week and I'm about to clock off for the weekend. I'll take a look at it properly on Monday.
