In Illustrator, I have hundreds of objects and layers in one file, how can I quickly locate and focus objects in the artboard from layers selected in the Layer Panel?
I know one slower way is to use the right most section of the layer to select the object and then looking for transform widget in the artboard:
But when you have hundreds of objects and the one you are looking for is small, it is hard to spot it. Is there a better way which can focus to the object as well?
Not really.
Proper layer management, locking/hiding objects when not working on them, saving selections.. all these can make things easier.
However, they all need to be something one thinks about while constructing a file. After a file is constructed it can be a mess to find minute objects if you haven't been organized from the start.
