Hello!

I was trying to select 30 simple vectors from a DXF file (from another software called Fusion 360) and did not suceed in using global edit tool. Even those elements appearing to be the same (PDF file attached).

Some of the elements get in the global edit but I put the ones that did not work together.

Please, let me know what is wrong and if there is a way to solve this.

Global Edit sometimes doesn not work with objects created and duplicated in Illustrator. Slight irregularities throw it off.

Let alone with objects that went through an export and a file format change.

So there is no way to make it work in adobe?

There are 2 different objects according to the Document Info, but I do not see much difference.

Try Select > Same > Stroke Weight

I could use [Select > Same > Stroke Weight] BUT I have more vectors with same stroke weight and it would select unwanted objects.

That is a problem. Maybe go back to Fusion 360 and give them an attribute that are different than others.
