Smart Selection of Lines and Curves

[Anonymous]

Whenever I'm in a sketch, I want the smallest elements to take priority for selection: Points, small lines and curves...

Larger ones most likely will have a section where they are not covered by other elements.

This way I don't need to "Select Other" that takes several clicks and some guessing.

In a 3D sketch for curve prjection to surface, you are allowed to box-select a set of curves.  It would be really handy to be able to box select curves for curve projection in a 2D sketch as well.  Right now I have to individually select each curve.  I am trying to project 3D curves to a 2D sketch (no surface or solid geometry in my model yet)

Prioritizing already-projected lines over auto-projecting the same edge again would be great as well.  This would make the AutoProject option much more friendly to use.  Prioritize objects in the sketch over selecting objects outside the sketch.

Good ideas. Please see this companion idea

Hi, 

Please develop this, it is a major annoyance when trying to edit sketches. How come the selection system prefers the often irrelevant projected geometry.
