Selection Modifier
Selection Submenu - Currently there's two kinds of modifiers.
The explanations are a bit confusing for me... I have alot of experience in Electronic Radio Frequency / Broadcast Engineering, where Filters are a very important device. So when I think of Filters I think of them in that respect. See if you think I'm correct here:

One filters out the type of entity you want.
This would be a 'Pass' filter?

@unknownuser said:

The other deselects the entity you specify.
This is a 'Reject' Filter? (also sometimes called a 'Trap' or 'Notch' Filter from the way the signal looks on a Spectrum Analyser.)

I think so ... from what I understood of that definition of filters... unfamiliar territory to me.

Never noticed this post.
I'm adding it to my list.

I think it would be a useful tool for working with drawings imported from autocad.
drawings with many lines, could detect lines, what not intersect

this problem was at my college computer that had IE 6... at home.. i had IE 7 so there wasn't any problem... installed IE 8 in college pc... UI interface workin' fine now ... Thanks thomthom..

IE 6 - that thing should be beaten with a stick and run out of town. It's annoying that places like colleges keep it around. Fortunately more and more are completely dropping support for it - forcing the admins to upgrade.

Yea - it was too much trouble to try to support. I might even drop IE7 support in future plugins. The improvements in IE8 over the previous are significant.

hahaa.. that's really funny of you thomthom... actually architectureal colleges really don't bother about IE since stress is laid on designing, CAD, and architectural visualization.. no one really cares about internet.. people like us use Chrome, Firefox and IE 8 on it

Hi Thom

i know it sounds like the post from hell.. but i think the script is still the cause of right-click greyed out items.
the devilish thing is, i can't fix my eyes on a pattern. the only thing i notice is that after some time of usage the menu starts losing some commands

of course the plugins folder is full crazy (and mine are well organised) - but upon removal of selection toys the menu works..

just thought you'd like to know!

thomthom · 13 Jun 2010, 00:11

Are you sure you have updated all the Fredo plugins?

After Google reported back what caused it I checked my own plugins and they do not appear to cause this issue. So far I've only heard of Fredo's tools due to a specific manner he created the menus.

CadFather · 13 Jun 2010, 08:38

thanks Thom, will check Fredo's ones out.
