Odd, it either hangs in the "was not selected loop" or
throws an error (the macro window pops up).
I changed your code slightly, but I don't see that my
changes are the problem. You can see the method below.
If you think it is worth investigating I can probably
save the file and send it to you. What you see in the
file is that the lines are "in the background" while
all my other objects are in the foreground. Could
there be a limit on Zordering, I mean I get up to a
hundred sometimes.
Pity there is no parameter for this, or another way. I
have a bit of bad feeling regarding performance and
stability about sending a macro to get those lines on
the right layer. I suppose I could try connected
lines.
