    I very much wish Select Same worked on more things. Or - a Properties Painter kind of thing. Or - some better way to do bulk edits.

    I just finished converting 1/8" prelims to 1/4" finals. How frustrating to have to aim and click on each text block individually to change the size - because I can't find a way to group select that still lets me edit. If I catch even one arrow in a selection set, I don't get access to the properties I need to change.

    I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

    If you click on the Text Parent tool, it activates the Leader Line, which when marquee selecting, it will bring up the Object Spec. dbx, instead of text., if it selects an arrow in the group. If you activate the Text tool (not parent), it should only select Text, regardless if any arrows are present. I wonder if maybe the wrong tool was active, or maybe a bug.....When marquee selecting arrows, to make arrow head changes in the dbx, it won't combine the two types (straight line/bent polyline). They need to be done separately.
