Cannot select objects in view to create paths

[Stephen337]

When trying to select objects the click to select the object in the 'edit toolpaths' view has to be super accurate on the line or the object cant be selected. To select the objects the click has to be right on the line and on my CNC machine the screen is low resolution and I can t get the accuracy needed.

Would it be possible to make the line selection easier when there are simple shapes. To replicate the issue, select display resolution 1024x768 and load up the attached SVG file. Try to select the shapes in the edit toolpaths view. I find myself clicking 20 or so times to just select one path:

Give the objects a solid fill color; that makes them easy to select. I use the browser's built-in hit-testing, which only works well with solid fill.

Thanks, much better!
