Hello,
i made an Enhancement Request on Planet PTC forum for Drafting.
If you like it you can support it here:

for visitors without supportcontract:

And here the Request:

Is it possible to change the SELECT function and the select function of the DELETE command ?
At the moment you can draw a frame/box from every direction and only the elements which are fully included in the frame are selected.
I would like to propose to preserve this feature for a frame/box which is drawn from left to right.
New:
If you draw a frame/box from right to left all elements which are partially in the selection frame would be selected.
Like in acad and similar programs.

Maybe with old behavior on/off

Advantages:
DELETE command: Faster cleanup of imported drawings. For exemple hatch transformed to lines http://communities.ptc.com/4.5.8/images/emoticons/sad.gif
SELECT function: New opportunities for the queries with INQ_SELECTED_ELEM http://communities.ptc.com/4.5.8/images/emoticons/happy.gif
