# pcb-rnd - the [cycdrag] patches, negative box select

When a selection is made using drag&drop (box selection), depending on the direction the rule for object selection differ:

- drag from top-right towards bottom-left (positive sized box): select objects that are fully contained in the box (original behaviour)
- drag from bottom-left towards top-right (negative sized box): select objects that are even partially within the box or merely touch the edge of the box

## save/load and compatibility

Not affected.

## plans

Work more on some rough corners of the negative direction: e.g. pads are handled as 0 width lines so the selection has to hit the center.
