How to disable bounding box mode when moving multiple objects in Altium Designer?

, 08-31-2025, 12:49 AM
When I select and move many objects in Altium Designer, the software automatically shows only a bounding box instead of the actual objects. This behavior is not very intuitive compared to moving just a few objects, where everything is shown normally.

Is there a way to change this setting so that Altium always displays the actual objects during move operations, even when many items are selected?

interesting, i have never seen this behaviour ... did you try to have a look in the advanced settings (i dont have altium on this computer, can check it)

Thank you for your reply. I already checked in the Preferences settings but couldn’t find any option related to this. I’m not sure if I might have missed something, so I wanted to ask here to see if anyone knows.

Save your current preferences and then load the defaults. See if that helps.
