Yes, I know how to enable the VERY limited drag tracks with component feature in Protel, but it is VERY limited! I want to be able to drag tracks with a selection, and maybe have the option of dragging all tracks that pass through the region, as well. It really does a poor job of this. I also seem to remember that it drags the tracks, rather than dragging the track ENDPOINTS, which would be MUCH more useful. That would keep the tracks connected. How about selecting a bunch of track segments, either within region or by toggle selection, and then doing a drag on all of them, just like it does a drag on one track. I seem to remember that it can't do this, either. It breaks the tracks rather than rubberbanding the connected track segments.
