My inital vote was to leave it unchecked by default, but that opinion stems from the fact that we (Revit MEP) very often select the architect's model, (or some invisible boundary of a piece of equipment), by mistake - then we have to wait for a regen, undo, and try to re-select.<br /><br />Howver, I think I may agree with your point that this problem can/should be fixed in another way - perhaps enhancing the power of 'pinning' objects, such that anything pinned cannot be selected. Then I can pin equipment and linked entities, they won't move, and I can't accidentally select them.<br /><br />Thanks for making me think about this one.P.

I was unhappy indeed! The timing of the post was perfect. <br /><br />I second your vote to leave Press and Drag alone. I'm much more productive with the setting turned on.

I have noticed some new users that "accidentally" use it from time to time... If we remove every function that new users "accidentally" use then there would be nothing left!The Revit Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998439202788735431noreply@blogger.com
