In previous Softplan versions, the command Extend Line only applied to shapes and lines. In 2024, it now extends everything from symbols to elevation openings. 

 

While it is a neat feature, is there a way to make "Extend" only apply to shapes and lines as it was previously? I find myself extending way more objects unintentionally now.

Not that I know of however it is important to uncheck "attach" before you invoke the command

It is not a global change but after selecting the extend command you can use ctl + L keys to then select shapes / lines.

I NEVER ever use the extend command ... Although it seems counter intuitive, I always use TRIM to extend lines!

It is funny how they both work the same essentially, but are two different tools.
