I want to find all the objects that the line crosses. But I do not want to select all the objects on the page. Maybe there is some way to get a list of objects without selecting?
-
Object > Objects
Or use Alt+Left Mouse Drag to touch select objects. (i.e. hold the mouse button and the Alt key down and draw a line to select every object that line touches).
-
If the objects have anything in common, besides touching a particular path, you could use Edit menu > Select Same, or Edit menu > Find.
If you'd like to share the file, it might help us find a solution.
I think there's an extension that will write all the objects in the file, in some kind of text file. But not one that can identify all the objects which touch a particular path or object. At least not that I know of.
Edit
This isn't the one I was thinking of, but possibly could help? https://github.com/larscwallin/ExtractElements
This is the one I was thinking of: https://github.com/tbekolay/csv_output or http://www.bekolay.org/

brynn, thank you very match!!
This extention is exactly what I need!
It contains a walk through the layers, through the objects, getting the points of the paths. All I need to solve the problem.
