Selecting Vector Objects by Size

[Fred Weiss]

Does anyone remember in any vector editing software they've used having the ability to select or delete vector objects smaller than a given size? I am not talking about Illustrator's selection of stray points capability ... but it was similar to that. I know I used software with that capability a long time ago but I am not remembering where it was. Seems like it might have been a feature in FlexiSign.

Flexi has the "Remove Tiny Objects" tool in the Path Edit Toolbar.

Ahhh! It was hidden in my workspace setup.

Thank you so much Joe! It works exactly like I wanted it to for the project I'm working on.

Illustrator doesn't have a built-in function for this, but here's an Illustrator script I've seen recommended numerous times over the years.

Yeah. Flexi has a few gems that you don't use all the time, but when you need them, they're golden. Happy I could help.

Fred... I was just thinking of you yesterday [fondly]. Did you not share with me some hot keys for node editing in Flexi years ago. You can make your own hot keys now but not for all node edit functions. Thanks Gene, and yes I am still leaving my money in Florida every winter. You probably don't care so much anymore tho.

Not that I recall but that happens to me a lot.
