Graphite Modeling Tools > Freeform Tab > Draw on Surface > Pick
When 3ds Max crashes while I'm doing retopology, which happens like five times a day, this tool "forgets" what the target mesh was and I have to go through the rigmarole of re-picking it when I re-launch Max. It would be swell if it would remember the target mesh I had picked before the crash.
PS: What often causes the crashes is when I'm using the Optimize tool to weld vertices, then I undo. Sometimes it works, sometimes it makes Max barf.
