I think it would be very useful to be able to set a point at the current gumball location. This could be implemented in one (or even both) of the following ways: 1.) In the white gumball handle submenu add an entry “Set point at current location” 2.) When a gumball is active _Point command shows “…

Hi Martin - shutting off drawing hides the 2 changes in the cplane, so the whole thing looks cleaner on screen and maybe goes microscopically faster. Just remember to turn it on again… =) -Pascal
