I have a frame with three identical symbols inside:

As far as I can tell, all three layers qualify to be “matching” according to this article.

However, when I press either the button at the top, or the shortcut, I get the message below:

I pulled out this frame as an example, but I obviously have a larger design I’m working on where I would really benefit from being able to select all matching layers at once. I feel like this used to work but doesn’t anymore. What am I missing?


I’m still on the old UI. Can’t really tell when I received the latest update…

They have to be in a different frame for it to work.



Thank you! I suppose that makes sense. I wish I could control that but admit that my particular use case might be too narrow.


Any idea why these two won’t match?

I realize that the index of these would be different, but I thought the index would only come into play if there’s more than one object with a matching name?

You won’t be able to select matching layers them since they are in the same frame. They need to be on separate frames for you to use that. What I mean by separate frame is separate entity.

Thank you! Not what I was hoping to hear, but makes sense and I was able to reproduce the behavior you’re describing.

Apparently, as long as they’re in the same container (frame) you wont be able to match them with select matching layers. But once you have them in different frames, even if you have the element in different indexes (I’m assuming you mean z-index), you should still be able to select matching layers them.
