For example when you move your mouse over them, they
don't get a selection preview highlight. They can't be selected
by window select, etc...

So to make it into a fully proper feature involves a variety of
work, not just adding in a single menu item.



Michael, I realize it would take more than just adding a menu item, obviously. You've explained some of the additional work you feel is needed...


I can appreciate keeping all of MoI's functionality orthogonal or behaving in a similar fashion.


In my mind, clines are drawing aids not drawing entities, so I didn't particularly feel they needed to act the same way as other entities, window selection or showing selection highlighting.

Again, I figured you could persist them, and remove them all by clicking on one and selecting an option from the diamond menu popup. Grouping, showing and hiding from the browser. That was the extent of my vision of how to use them.



My suggestion was geared towards limiting the amount of work you had to do in the hopes of seeing this implemented.

The fact that you say the existing cline is a class object is what I had hoped from the beginning - so that's a good thing.


I'm not thirsty for having this now I was reading this thread with interest after thinking of how I could use MoI for my 2D concept drawings if the dynamic cline and the way it works now could be persisted in multiples - that's when I posted my suggestion.
