Output Selections

I was setting up a rather large set of repetitive filters and formulas and when I got done, I wanted to select the output of each tool all at once to drag them in to a Union tool. I think it would be great if you could hold the control key to select multiple outputs to drag to the next tool at a given time.

it has function of view possible connection (right click when you select random tool, not you desire one).
but it still hard to use when the workflow is huge.

As @AncientPandaman mentions, your best bet currently will be view possible connections, but I love the idea of improving the Designer experience, ctrl+click to select multiple outputs would be a great way of doing this.

 

Sadly, if you select all the tools you want to union, and hit 'insert after' in the right click menu and select a union, it will create multiple unions, rather than one with all tools connected.
