Shift to add markups to current selection

Steve Tissier - Structures

It would be very beneficial to have the two enhancements below:

Allow users to hold shift (or another button if necessary, maybe Cntrl?) and drag select to add markups to the currently selected markups
When using Shift to select a specific markup within a group of markups that are in close proximity, have it add the markup that is selected to the currently selected markups

@Steve Tissier - Structures, if I’m understanding your request correctly, both of these enhancements are already available in the software.

#1 has actually been there all along. If you select a markup, then hold Ctrl while dragging, it will place a copy of that markup. If you hold Shift+Ctrl, the copy will stay aligned in a straight line.

#2 was introduced more recently. When you hover over a markup and press Shift, you can select that specific markup, even when it’s grouped closely with others (see screenshot below).

@Shaya Birnbaum, neither of those are what I was referring to.

When i have a markup already selected, I want to be able to use the right click drag lasso to add markups to the selection set.
Same as #1, when i have a markup already selected, I want to be able to use the shift cycle through markups to select the one you want, to add a markup to the selection set.

I made a video showing this, but doesn't seem to be allowed to be uploaded here.

@Steve Tissier - Structures, thanks for clarifying. I think that I understand.

You are asking about expanding an active selection set, either by using the right-click drag lasso to add multiple markups at once or by cycling through nearby markups with Shift to add a specific one to the selection.

That is different from what I mentioned earlier.

Since uploads are not supported here, you might want to post your video to YouTube and share the link. If the video has no sound, you could also convert it into a GIF and upload it directly so everyone can see what you are describing.

curious as to what you are trying to accomplish by doing this?

We often have sheets with lots of markups on them when going through QC. It would be nice to right click drag lasso different groups of markups in order to apply a certain status to them. Then do the same thing for others. We run into this situation a lot.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from.

It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
