      Hey Matt, great plugin, thanks! I've just started a new project and I am putting this to good use. Thanks! Also, I edited my copy to make it so that holding shift will delete the geometry instead of extending it. I have lots of lines that are just a little too long. So instead of extending them, I want to "trim" them, like in autocad. So that little tiny bit of functionality is very helpful.

      So a HUGE thanks, this is quite useful,

      Chris

      Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

          Glad to help you, Chris! 😄
          I updated code today. If you want I can update the code again with your improvment? Do you agree? Can you show us your bit of code?

            I had difficulty with the plugin.
            In the drop down menu I see Selection with a fly out trigger that doesn't fly out to show Extend Edges. I posted in Thomthom's thread on Selection Toys, thinking that Selection was part of his suite. I will try to unload and reload to see if it works better.
            I have a mild concern that other recently downloaded tools may be interfering--not sure.
            Best Regards,

              Ehi,
              I am using Mac and it sounds that it doesn't work...
              😞

              Any another feedback?

              Stef.

                    Ah sorry, try to delete this block at the beginning of the code:

                      Hi, Matt:
                      Is this block of code intended as a disambiguation, or differentiation of the two Selection tools? Or was it intended as way to allow coexistence?

                      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                        The plugin doesn't work when edit a group, you need to explode the group extend and regroup...

                          Yes, it does work when editing a group. There is no need to explode the group first.

                            It works on a selection.
                            So therefore it only works on lines that are all in the same 'context'.
                            Editing a group allows you to select lines within the group.
                            BUT if you want to process lines that are in the group AND lines outside it then you cannot, because you can't select lines with both contexts at once.
                            Then you need to explode the group so all lines are selectable in the common context.
                            Alternatively, select the lines you want to use outside of the group, Edit+Copy, edit the group and Edit>Paste_In_Place.
                            Then those lines are duplicated inside the group; select them and other lines and do the processing.
                            If necessary delete the unwanted duplicated lines.
                            Alertnatively-ly, Edit>Cut the lines and Edit>Paste_In_Place into the group's context etc...
                            It depends what final outcome you want...

                              m'eh...
                              the tool needs work... its interface, capability, and intuitive-use are lacking (expected for a "zero-dot" rev).

                              add the ability to extend arcs as well.

                                Why don't you write a better version, then?

                                  I agree...
                                  BUT this one is SIX years old !
                                  And time and expertise moves on...
                                  There are by now many similar tools around... e.g. 2dTools 'Adjust'...
                                  OR you could write a better 'free' one...
