Snap: Snapping a selection to the content within it


Selections are a fundamental part of the AVA software. They are required to complete certain functions in the software but they are also extremely useful in helping you achieve exciting design effects. It is important to master using selections in your working methods to make your work flows more effective.


Snap takes an existing selection and makes it cling to the design elements within it. Snap works most effectively on layers as there is a clear distinction between the motif and the background. Hold down ⌘ (command key) and press / on the keyboard as a short cut for this function.

New in AVA Suite

The latest release of AVA has significant speed enhancements to the Snap Function, especially when used with large, complex files. This will ensure a more efficient workflow.
