Selecting objects on the drawing board

This post was updated on .
I noticed that if you select objects before entering a modify command, those selected objects are not taken into account by the command. I suggest that:

- Already selected objects should be taken into account when we enter a modify command.
     - If the command can apply to multiple objects, then we can continue selecting objects.
     - If the command can apply to only object and one object is already selected, then the command continues with the next parameter.
     - If the command can apply to only one object and many ojects are already selected, then those objects are deselected and the command asks to select one object.

- After the command is executed, all objects should be deselected automatically.

- Also: we can select multiple objects by lassoing when we are not within a command, but we must select objects one by one within a command. Frustrating ! I had about 100 lines I wanted to move to a new layer, I had to change them one by one.

Currently, as far as I know, selecting objects while we are not within a command has no use.

yes, the command sequence and user experience are clearly from ancient time. We should try to make it as intuitive and fluid as possible.
