Unable to select objects from different groups in XD

Hey guys!
Can anyone help me please? Currently, I am unable to select objects from different groups.
I do the Cmd + Shift to select them but when I go to select the second object, XD selects the whole group, like if I was only clicking on Shift.

I've uploaded a screen recording for you to see.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @joaomarcosToogas,

 

Thank you for being so patient. I checked with the team, and they informed me that you can multi-select across simple groups by holding down Cmd+Shift, but this won’t work in special groups. I’m guessing that you've Stacks turned on for one or more of the parent groups.


If that’s the case, turning off Stacks on the groups that have them on should fix this problem and allow you to multi-select across groups. Then you can re-enable Stacks later if so desired.

 

Let us know if you need further assistance. 

 

We would be happy to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi @joaomarcosToogas,

 

We are sorry for the trouble, and thanks for sharing the video. I will check at my end and also share it with the team, and try to replicate the issue at our end.

 

Could you please share the version of XD and the details of your operating system?

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,
