In-Depth Information
When working in artwork, there may be times when you select content on the artboard and
then want to locate that same content in the Layers panel. This can help you to determine how
content is organized.
1.
With the Selection tool ( ), click to select one of the small knobs.
In the Layers panel, you will see the selection indicator to the far right of the Side panel
layer and knobs sublayer name.
2.
Click the Locate Object button ( ) at the bottom of the Layers panel to reveal the
object within the knobs sublayer.
Clicking the Locate Object button will open the layer so that the layer content can be
seen, and the Layers panel will scroll, if necessary, to reveal the selected content. With
an Illustrator file that has a lot of layered content, this can be helpful.
3.
Choose Select > Deselect.
4.
Click the triangle to the left of the Screen and Side panel layer names to hide the
contents of each layer.
