Selecting filled objects
The Object Selection By Path Only preference determines whether you can select a filled object by clicking anywhere
within the object’s area with the Selection or Direct Selection tools, or whether you must click a path segment or
anchor point with these tools. By default, this preference is off. In some cases, you may want to turn the preference
on—for example, when you work with overlapping filled objects and you want to easily select underlying objects.
To set the Object Selection By Path Only preference, choose Edit > Preferences General (Windows) or Illustrator >
Preferences > General (Mac OS), and select Object Selection By Path Only.
Note:
The Object Selection By Path Only preference is not applicable when selecting unfilled objects or when viewing
artwork as outlines. In these cases, you can never select an object by clicking inside the object’s path.
With Object Selection By Path Only deselected, clicking inside the object and dragging selects and moves an object.
