Like other visual editing packages, would be good if it was possible to drag and select multiple visuals.

A definite need to craft compelling dashboards
RE: The ability to click and drag to select multiple visuals
This should have been implemented by default, it's so basic.
RE: The ability to click and drag to select multiple visuals
This seems like a basic thing to have. Wonder why its not already there! I have to move like 25 controls on my page and you are telling me to do it one by one??
RE: The ability to click and drag to select multiple visuals
There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been mentioned. Please add this feature. It would make formatting so much simpler and less time consuming
RE: The ability to click and drag to select multiple visuals
This is a very basic feature that would save a ton of design time for users.
RE: The ability to click and drag to select multiple visuals
I have 15 tabs with the same set of 20 selections that link to bookmarks. To rearrange these, I need to make over 600 changes, and go through all the fine position adjustments. (delete 20 on 14 pages, re-position on one page, copy and paste newly positioned items to 14 tabs. It would be a HUGE time-saver to delete the 20 selections (with grouped select) on all but one page, rearrange them, and then copy and paste (with group select) the 20 items to the 14 tabs, reducing effort to around 50 actions.
