Keep in mind, however, that doing so will bring in not only that object to the group, but also all similar objects that fall within the set tolerance. You can add more objects to the selection by Shift-selecting another object. Adding Objects to a Selection With the Magic Wand Tool Turning it off lets you limit your selection to items on the same layer. This option will automatically select all matching objects, regardless of which layer they’re on. By default, “Use All Layers” is turned on in the Magic Wand options. All of the objects that match your criteria will automatically be selected. Simply choose the Magic Wand and click on an object. Once you’ve set up your criteria and tolerance levels, selecting the matching objects is a breeze. The star with 61% opacity falls outside that range and is therefore not included.
With a tolerance value of 10%, selecting the star with 50% opacity with the Magic Wand will also select the oval with 56% opacity. Simply choose the Magic Wand and click on an object. If you don’t see all of these options, you might need to toggle them on by using the panel’s menu in the top right corner. Select as many of the attributes as you want to match by clicking each checkbox. Your options include: Fill Color, Stroke Color, Stroke Weight, Opacity, and Blending Mode.
In the Magic Wand panel, you indicate which similar attributes you want the Magic Wand to select for. To set the options for using the tool, either double-click it in the panel or choose Magic Wand from the Window menu. You can find Illustrator’s Magic Wand tool in the Tools panel, just below the Selection tool. If you’re one of those people, the Magic Wand tool might be your new best friend! Magic Wand Tool Basics As a result, I’ll have objects that are all red, but not the same red, meaning the Select > Same option won’t catch them. It’s a great option for me because I have a bad habit of accidentally assigning two very similar colors to objects. With “magic” in the name, I don’t know why I often forget about it. One technique I use-once I remind myself that it exists-is employing the Magic Wand tool. Whether you’re a “drag across all objects” kind of guy, or a “shift-click to select each item” sort of gal, the point is that many roads will lead you to your destination. When it comes to selecting objects in Illustrator, you have several different ways to approach this task.
