I would solve his particular workflow desire with "Keep C-lines"....

On that note, Michael, has anything changed enough about what Paul's custom "construction Line" command does that it could be altered to include the c-line edit option on the kept lines?

So rememeber that the initial inaccessibility to the kept c-lines (or maybe the visual that they have been "activated or picked") yet still "transformed with the regular tools" (They do actually get picked like objects. with a name and a style). Maybe that can now be added to it?

Thanks
