Components Multi-selection

The goal of this enhancement is to enable the selection of multiple components as input. You must select all the components (in the product tree or in the work area) before clicking Cumulative Snap command. Once in the command, you will then be able to select the first geometry to snap from among any of the components belonging to the selected input.

Important: Multi-selection is only available before you launch the Cumulative Snap command. If you do not make a selection before you launch the command, the multi-selection will not be available.

Consider the following structure:



If you select [P1.1, P1, P2], you will be able to select a first geometry belonging to P1 (geometry can belong to P1.1 or not) or P2, and a second geometry under P3. The transformation computed to snap the first geometry on the second geometry will then be applied to P1 only, highest father of the sub-set [P1, P1.1] and P2. This ensures that the set of components selected as inputs to the Cumulative Snap command will be kept as a rigid block along the definition of multiple constraints, which is a condition to the definition of a consistent constraints environment.
