Area selection in Sketch mode 5.520 beta key bindings

History-Based Parametric Modeling Beta

When using area selection In sketch mode, keyboard entry “E” does not filter selection to Edges. The other keys work OK. (P->Points, C->Constraints)
iPadOS 17.1.1
Shapr3d beta 5.520.0.6107 #9a56fc4a
iPadPro with Apple’s Magic Keyboard.

@Bob3DPO indeed, for some obscure reason the filter shortcut for sketch edges is S (probably at some point we called the filter sketch edges). Will change it to reduce confusion, thanks for reporting.

In 5.520.0.6133, the key binding is good, where typing E chooses the Edges filter, thanks.

However, I cannot select edges from sketch with area selection. (I can select faces from sketch.)

My use case is I would like to select edges (whether or not they make a closed face) and project them.

Seems this key binding was reversed. In 5.521.0.6218, the S is bound to edges in sketch mode, not the E. Is that by design, or a regression?

No, it’s just a temporary regression – the fix got lost amongst the code branches between 5.520 and 5.521. It’ll be OK again in the next regular release. Our apologies.
