Possibility to choose "last selection", "last translation" etc.

It would be nice if OSD would allow you to repeat a selection or a move 3D operation, or a position Part/Assy operation.

Some examples:

- after selecting a large number of faces, a Move 3D operation doesn't give the desired result, and you want to do a different operation, but on the "last selected" items

- you want to do some major "move around" operations in a large assy; some parts needs to be repositioned, and some faces have to be "Moved 3D" by the same translation/rotation. Sometimes you don't want to use the "Stretch by Box" goodie. Here it would be great if the translation/rotation would be remembered for a next operation.

Regards,
Jaap

Manipulate selections with buffers.

It would be very nice if you can store a selection in a buffer with a given name. OSDM stores the last selection in a buffer with a reserved name, for example 'last_selection'. Every time the user makes a selection, it will be stored in this buffer 'last_selection'.

Other features for these buffers could be:

- define new buffer by given a name and make a selection.
- erase a buffer definition by given its name.
- delete the contens of a buffer by given its name.
- Adding new elements to a buffer. (1)
- Substract elements from a buffer. (1)

The contens of a buffer can be changed by external actions. For example if a buffer contains a part and this part is deleted the buffer is not up to date. Should buffers be updated automaticly or by forcing it with a special command? (The last option is better for performance I suppose)

(1) elements could be parts, assy, faces, etc or even an other buffer.

Best regards,
Harry
