Select Feature not Working correctly

[sequentialmazescompany]

Hello I use VGP for many reasons, but I mainly use it for drawing a type of Maze that I have invented. This website is the perfect for me and my Mazes but recently I have ran into a few problems, my main issue recently has been with the select function. I want to select a line I drew for the answer key to my Maze because I messed up on it, I click on the line so I can remove it or at least manipulate it, but it doesn't do anything, in order to select the line I have to click and drag and go over the entire line, but when I do that it also selects parts of the walls to the Maze and if I try to delete the line I messed up on it removes everything inside the selected area. And removing each individual point on the line takes too much time especially when I have deadlines to finish these for the Weekly Paper in my area.

I don't know what happened to the old select method where I could click and it would pop up options of piece of the sketch in the general area that I selected, but I would like that to be back.

Also now that I am here is there any way that we can add a way to save only a section of a sketch as an image, and allow it to keep the grid lines showing, currently what I am doing is screenshotting each Maze because the rules of the Maze require players to see the grid lines. Maybe this is already a function though and I just living under a rock.

Thank you for your time!

Hi,
That sounds like a bug. Could you share an example (either here or via https://virtual-graph-paper.com/contact/) and indicate which line can't be directly selected?

This doesn't exist yet but there's an overhaul coming for the save options, which will make that possible. In the meantime there's a workaround you could use:
1. make a new layer
2. select the elements you'd like to save
3. move them to the new layer
4. hide all other layers

But perhaps a screenshot is an easier workaround

I also have an object that is 'unselectable'

Hello @570Explorer,

Could you share a sketch (via the Share button) with an element that is unselectable?

Thanks!

I was going to but it resolved itself after I logged out and logged back in

Thank you

Is there an option to select all shapes that constitute an item and move as a unit?
Every color in this drawing is a separate shape
It would be nice to be able to select all and move as a unit

[VGP]

You can select all the elements on a given layer by Ctrl-clicking the layer, or right click the layer and choose "Select All".
Otherwise you can use Shift-select or dragging around the shapes.

If you always want to move the shapes together, you might want to use Group while selected.
