I've been using Illustrator since version 88 and selecting objects in Illustrator has always been a piece of cake. I can never understand how anyone could have trouble selecting objects, groups, or layers in Illustrator. The secret is to keep area select off and be sure to use the command key for the selection tools, including switiching between the two (cmd-tab) and temporarily selecting the select group tool (cmd-opt with the direct tool selected).
The real problem is all the jargon involved. Explaining how to use the tools is more complicated than using them!!!
Selecting objects in Illustraor inside of other objects is some times not just frustrating but impossible. Is this so difficult to make it simple? Like in Acad or Rhino? Corel is better in this.
