ack. This is a feature I used a lot for debugging with protel99.

Good to hear that.
 Will it be possible to transfer the selection that contains many
elements to pcb? This would be the first half of a very useful placement
trick. The other half would be to collect all selected elements in pcb.
This can already be done with the "disperse selection" command. With
analog circuits this can trick can speed up placement a lot. Just select
all the passive symbols that belong to a certain opamp and group them in
pcb. Chances are, that you want to have these parts close to each other
to achieve short tracks and easy routing.

I'll be looking forward for this feature.
