Good point. I think we should make life as easy as possible for users,
so why not using the same approach as the most advanced tools available?
AFAIK, AutoCAD is considered the most productive tool for editing: does
anybody have access to it? Could someone lt us know how they approach
the problem? A description of their design would be a good starting
point, I guess.
All the best.
