Quickly Locate Objects in Sublayers

Inspiration | May 17th, 2012

Here’s a handy tip if you work with a bunch of Layers. Illustrator can automatically expand and scroll to a sublayer that’s hidden within a collapsed layer. All you have to do is click on the object in your artwork and choose Locate Object from the Layers panel menu. The sample image below is taken from CS6 but should work in older versions of Illustrator.
