selection tolerance

Hi @greiss,

Thanks for reaching out with your question! I understand how it can feel puzzling when changes in settings like selection tolerance don’t seem to make a noticeable difference in your workflow.

The selection tolerance setting determines how close your cursor needs to be to an anchor point or path before selecting it. However, factors like Snap to Point or other snapping features being enabled might override this, making it harder to notice the effect of changing tolerance values.

Would you mind checking if Snap to Point or any snapping options are enabled in your Illustrator preferences? If they are, temporarily disabling them might help you see how the tolerance setting impacts your selections.

Feel free to share more details, and I’d be happy to assist you further.

Best,
