The patch applied perfectly against the already patched 27th release. I had a play with it, and it works well. A couple of comments: 1. The 'classic PythonCAD way' (similar to AutoCAD if I remember) involves one less menu pull-down operation: the 'select' mode is entered into automatically (once the move distance has been defined). This could be achieved with Stuart's method if PythonCAD defaulted to 'select' mode if idle: draw a box around objects, then go to MOVE->MODIFY->HORIZONTAL. Admittedly, the classic way is less inuitive to people used to drag & drop GUIs, and consistency in select, operation or operation, select is a good point. 2. I am wondering whether the architectural change mentioned above has missed something out. When I move a circle with a radial dimension in it, one side of the dim. line gets left behind.
