Solidworks Mouse Gestures - Implemented Correctly?

[berg_lauritz]

I’m not sure it is bad. If you hover over a drawing view model edge and mouse gesture to add a note, the right click over the model edge registers the edge selection and attaches the note. Maybe they could make it pick up a preselection and ignore the right click selection.

I get that. Not being able to pre-select (which is very common in SolidWorks) limits your selection ability significantly and is against your natural instinct. I am still convinced that changing the mouse gesture button would easily solve those issues (or just make it changeable).

I played around more with holding the CTRL button while using mouse gestures and it mostly solves my problems with it. So it’s a kind of okay-ish workaround.
