I would expect that area selection (click-drag on a mac) behaves the same as selecting multiple individual items, except for being more convenient. But that is not what I am seeing. I have included 4 screen shots that describe my experience:
-
The first screen shot (“Before Equal”) shows multiple vertical lines that were selected using area selection (dragging down and to the right with a mouse, starting at the top left).
-
The second screen shot (“After Equal”) shows the result of applying the “Equal” constraint to the selected lines. Notice the result is completely broken.
-
The third screen shot (“Before Equal 2”) show the same vertical lines selected individually using shift select with a mouse. One difference between the 2 “Before…” screen shots is that the last line selected individually show an angle from the previous line segment.
-
The fourth and last screen shot (“After Equal 2”) shows the expected result of applying the “Equal” constraint.
