Question by NIMBLE_JIM · Aug 01, 2017 at 05:35 PM · 2d ui text canvas rect

View individual Rect boxes when multiple UI elements are selected?

Hi all,

I have 2D UI layout with multiple text boxes over the canvas, I need to easily be able to see where the Rect boxes for each are positioned, so that I can see where the safe areas are for placing buttons etc. Selecting each individual item shows its own individual Rect box, but selecting multiple items just shows one big box around all of them. Is there a way of selecting multiple items and seeing each individual Rect box? It's extremely time consuming having to go and check each one individually.

Many thanks
