What it does

Allows you to select content based on the layer properties of the layer it's placed on.

You can select content that is:
  • Optional: placed on a layer
  • Not optional: not placed on a layer
  • By default visible: visible when the document is first opened (applies to both layered and "normal" content)
  • By default invisible: invisible when the document is first opened
  • Visible: set to "visible" e.g. by the user or by an application such as PitStop (regardless of the initial visibility state)
  • Invisible: set to "invisible" e.g. by the user or by an application such as PitStop (regardless of the initial visibility state)

Example

The following Action List allows you to select layered content that is by default visible. Normal content (that is visible by default) is not selected.
Select objects in layers by layer properties <!-- Choose "Select content that is optional" -->
Select objects in layers by layer properties <!-- Choose "Select content that is visible" -->
AND <!-- This operator makes sure that only content is selected that is optional and visible at the same time -->
