Select overlapping objects

Belongs to

What it does

Selects the objects defined by a first selection, that overlap the objects defined by a second selection (within the same Action List).

In order to define the first and second selection, the Select overlapping objects Action needs to be preceded by 2 other selection Actions.

Example

Suppose you have two magenta filled line art objects and two yellow filled line art objects. One of the two magenta objects physically overlaps 1 of the 2 yellow objects; that's the object you want to select and to log.

To do so, proceed as follows:
Select color <!-- settings: Fill - CMYK - 100% M -->
Select color <!-- settings: Fill - CMYK - 100% Y -->
Select overlapping objects
Log selection <!-- Choose user-defined text, for example: Magenta objects overlapping yellow objects have been found -->
