I have PSD file with about thousand layers. And I have one selected shape area. And 0 layers are selected. Now my question is how to select only those layers that are in selected shapes. Layer is in selected shapes if part or all layer is in selected shape. Selected shape is non rectangle.
I think it is possible with the ctrl - click. You can hold ctrl and then select layers you want to have selected.
If you are wanting a way to do this by shape area ,either a path or a selection, automatically that is not possible. (There might be a script or plug-in but not one I can think of off-hand.
A possible workaround:
If you select the move tool and check "Auto Select" and "Layer" in the options bar you can click an area of an image and Photoshop will automatically select a layer that contains the content you clicked.
If you hold down the shift key you can select multiple layers (shift-clicking a layer you already selected deselects that layer.) If there is a layer behind another layer it will always select/deselect the front-most layer. To get around this right-click the area that contains both layers, a list of layers in order will appear and you can select the layer you want by name. (see image)
Using this method you should be able to capture all of the layers within a certain area by hand in a fairly efficient manner.
After you have all the layers you want selected you can either group them (which is the best method but doesn't work if you need to maintain their current layer order in relationship to all of the other layers in the document) or you can link them which will allow you to select or move them together in the future.
Not sure if this solves your problem, hope it helps.
Good luck.
Holding Shift key & select your multiple objects
For Single selection:
Click Control(ctrl) button and select your layers.
For multiple selection:
Use Shift and then click your layers.

I have a feature layer with points. I have three pages in my print composer. On one of my pages, I only want to show points that fall within a certain value range. First, I tried locking the style on the pages where I want to display all my points.
Then, I went to the Query Builder of the layer I want to select points from, and I created an expression to display only points from a range:
The problem is that this selection modifies the points shown on all my pages in print composer, even the ones where I locked the layers and style for layers. The only alternative solution I can think of is to select the points I want to show, create a new feature layer with those selected points, and then show that feature layer on my page in print composer. However I'd like to know if there's another way to do this without creating a new feature layer each time I want to filter the points I show in print composer.
There's another way. The points change because when you define a query, basically you define what features will be loaded to the project. So if you use categorized symbology you can define that some feature will be not displayed, but they will stay loaded in the project.
Here you can find how to use this type of symbology: Classifying Nominal Data
I'm trying to create custom markers, but add 2 map layers.
Essentially trying to combine this:
https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/custom-marker-icons/
With this:
https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/toggle-layers/
How do I specify my customized markers, but assign them to 2 layers?
Markers don't exist within the map's Style, so they don't live within Layers either. They sit on top of the map, effectively within a single "layer" (but not actually a Layer).
So if you're trying to find a way to hide or show groups of markers in a single action, you'll have to find another way to do that.
Alternatively, if you really want your markers within Layers, you should create Symbol Layers with icons, not markers.
I have custom stencils, and the shapes are all sized relative to each other. I want to know if there is a way to change the size that they drop onto the page? So if I set the multiplier to 1.5 then every shape will drop onto the page 1.5x larger than the master shape specifies. I don't want to have to resize later.
you could use the ondrop cell of the shapesheet.
setf(getref(width), width.thepage!prop.scale)+setf(getref(height), height.thepage!prop.scale)
I wonder however if you wouldn't go better by modifiying the scale of your page directly?
I am using gwt with gwt-dnd and I want to do the following:
1. Select rectangle area by dragging the mouse
2. Select all the elements that are in this area
3. drag all selected elements.
Is there any idea?
On MouseDownEvent record the coordinates of the pointer (event.getClientX() and eventGetClientY()).
On MouseUpEvent do the same. If coordinates are different, you have a selected rectangular.
Get the widget which contains all the widgets or elements that are selectable. Loop through its children.
Compare coordinates of each widget with your rectangular (use getAbsoluteTop(), getAbdoluteLeft(), getOffsetHeight(), and getOffsetWidth()). Select widgets that are totally or partially inside the selected area.
I would add to Andrei's answer that if you to provide feedback by displaying the rectangle during selection that what we do is display the rectangle as an instance of com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTML with a style that displays the borders. This is updated using onMouseMove using setPixelSize and setWidgetPosition.
The library gwtquery-plugins offers a MultiSelect feature, so I will give it a try.

I am drawing a visio diagram and would like to change (i.e. reduce) the radius of the corners of some of my rounded boxes.
I searched the program's help and googled for >1/2 hour but can't find any hint on how to achieve this - at least none that works.
The context dialog shows a Rounded corner section (Right-click => Format => Line), but any change done there has no effect whatsoever. Does one maybe have to "unprotect" these settings? If so: how?
Any expert who knows how to change the corners' radius?
Later Edit: I just realized: I had used a flow chart symbol "Rounded Process" instead of a plain vanilla rounded box to draw this diagram. That's why I can't change these corners!
Is there an elegant way to globally change a shape into another type, i.e. these flowchart shapes into plain vanilla boxes? Ideally while keeping the associated text?

not without coding.
However, I'm pretty sure that Sandrilla has a ready to use tool.
It's available for reasonable money. http://www.sandrila.co.uk/
You can create your own shape in such situation, you can can create your own Stencil and then add the your predefined shapes into it. To add the predefined shapes into the stencil just follow the procedure
Select the shape from an existing Stencil and Right click on it
From the Menu select 'Add to My Shapes'
Create New stencil or add it to an existing Stencil.
Now you can edit the master shape but before that you have to put the Stencil in the Edit mode.
Right click on the newly added shape in the Stencil and click 'Edit Master' -> 'Edit Master Shape'
You can now modify the Shape as per your need , for ex. If you want to edit the Corner of the Shape then you right click on the Shape in the Master and then Select 'Format' - > 'Line' and then select type of corner from the 'Round corner' section.
