Ah I see how that could be useful, but how to join this with normal selection behavior? There a second click is deselect or multi select when ctrl is hold.

Philippe \Philo\" Hurbain Wrote:I have an electronics cad program that uses tab key to cycle through the possibly selected elements after a selection click.

I like using the tab more, only thing is how to handle (the current) multi selection in such a case.

Philippe \Philo\" Hurbain Wrote:the possibility to "laser select" everything in the selection area (visible or hidden by other elements).

Laser selection would be cool, and relatively easy to implement cause the 'hit test' code already knows all parts 'below' the mouse in order to calculate the nearest one.

Area selection is something on my to do list, but I'm not jet sure how to do that efficiently.

Philippe \Philo\" Hurbain Wrote:Now if several modes are implemented, remains the problem of convenient mode selection.

I'm trying to avoid mode selection and having everything context depended, but when it becomes really necessary I'll probably put control for it in the editing compass.

Philippe \Philo\" Hurbain Wrote:And the BIG question for me: Roland, do you intend at some time to add part editing possibilities to LDCad? I understand that this is not a top priority now

At some point I would like to make it part editing aware, but I think a part editor inherently needs to get it's basic (thus model) editing functionality in order. It also will need interaction with 2..5 lines, something the current version lacks entirely. But the 'next next' version will probably get a file line listing panel/dialog so that might be a step towards being a part editor.
