Selected to group plugin
-
Good Day,
I am looking for a plugin that's take selected all construction lines on a face via right click and make them a group for naming. Does one already exist? Can someone make one for me? Or show me how to make one? Thanks in advance.

Quick correct, I meant a script that selects all constructions line and then send to create group

You could probably use ThomThom's Selection Toys to select the guide lines and then just make a group of them. Why do you want to group guide lines anyway?

I am constructing a dresser with drawers. I am attaching the face of the drawer to left and right sides with dowels. When I construct, I have C-Lines to designate where pieces get attached to each other (eventually they are erased in final draft) when I use OSC Boolean to make holes in the face to accommodate the dowels, for some reason that script deletes all my C-Lines, and I have to spend time redrawing them so I have my "attach part here" C-Lines back. I have enclosed two caps. One shows my C-Lines before OSC Boolean script and then immediately after. So to circumvent this, I select all C-Lines, make them to a group, hide them when running OSC script and then un-hide, open component and re attach them. The C-Lines tend to be very small and sometimes I miss them, therefore I was looking for a script that would just "select all C-Lines". I have also looked for a "make layer to group" script as I do have all C-Lines on a separate layer for visual toggling. If there's a better way to do this task, please advise if not I carry on with my method and thanks in advance.

I see what you're doing. I guess I wouldn't use guide lines (c-lines) for that in the first place. Guides are intended as temporary lines and not as geometry.
Presumably you have made a component or group of the drawer front and bottom and so on. A simple left to right Selection box dragged around the c-lines for the drawer side will select them without problem. and then a keyboard shortcut can be used to make the group or better, a component.
