Preview: Shortest connecting line

Coming soon: 

we'll introduce a new function which allows to quickly find the shortest connecting line between two points. We'll call that smart selection.
Internally we'll use a graph, which knows all neighbors of an object in any direction. Traversing this graph we find the shortest connection between two points.

Application scenarios:

  • For certain cases this will be a replacement for accumulated length maesurement 
  • There is a way of working now in order to e.g. measure the lenght of a weld
  • The same methodology might be used to find connected pipes or to identify disconnected pipes
