Avoid construction lines with the close loop command

Avoid construction lines with the close loop command

When closing a loop inventor prefers to select construction lines over normal lines (or so it appears any way).

Even if you use the "select other" it doesn't make allot of sense.

If construction lines would be ignored (or have the option to ignore them) it would be an improvement.

Yeah, I just noticed this too with 2018.  I don't recall this issue with previous versions of Inventor. Another great "feature"?

I have trouble with measure loop incombination with construction lines. Construction lines breaks the loop.

The selection filter would be handy - it works for drawings, but not sketches (shrug).

 

How about this: if there's a choice it always chooses a solid line, and you choose construction by "Select Other"?

 

I know there can be cases with bazillions of lines on top of each other, but simply to have a preference for solid lines would be freakin' awesome. And who doesn't want 'freakin awesome'?!
