Does anyone else do this ? Even after all these years using this strain of CAD .. (strain being be operative word) .. .. After using the Select Mask .. I almost always forget to switch it off again .. .. Then I wonder why I can't select things .. .. Or is it just me ? : ) I would like to have a visual cue .. something like an enhanced Tool Cursor - that shows when my selections will be limited by the Select Mask filters Thoughts ?

The other cad systems I use use a combobox to "show" what the current filter is set at.

Hi Jol,
It's your age... LOL !!
No..seriously I think we all do the same trick now & then. It would be nice for any masking of objects to be 'per pick' then reset to all ??. This could be achieved by a tick box in Select Mask windows under the Show current attributes box...Tim?
This isn't actually broke, is it ?, therefore more important improvements & bug fixes should come first....Xellent "Suggestion" tho ;)
