Title: Image parts?
Post by: jimscape on August 29, 2017, 11:54:56 AM

Hi All,

I'm working on an image but now when I try to make changes to any of its parts nothing is happening.

Click or double click but no joy.
I know I'm missing something that even a novice should know but I can't get a handle on this.

Can anyone suggest whats next??

Thanks

Select the object and look into the status line. If it is a group, then ungroup (right-click > ungroup or Ctrl+U or Ctrl+Shift+G) or double-click on it to 'enter' the group. Or you can also hold Ctrl and click on any object to select it, no matter if it's inside a group or not.

If it's not a group, but an 'image', then you cannot access individual parts, because it's not vector-based but just a raster graphic.

Welcome to the forum!

If you're still stuck, if you can provide the SVG file for us, we can tell you what's going wrong.
