Impulse, I LOVE IM30 (sorry about yelling <g>). I am desiging an object and have come to the conclusion that my work would be made much easier by the addition of another aspect to magnetism. The point that I wish to drag using magnetism to not lend themselves to a circular pattern which cone, dome and bell are. It would be great and save me having to move each point if you could turn an object into a magnet and then use that object to drag points magnetically of another object. It does not seem like this would be that difficult. Just make a temporary object (or tool) in the detail editor (the user would make this 'tool' object) and then give it the same types of magnetic properties that you do in magnetism setup except for the shape and then as you drag this tool, the points of the object being affected that are within the 'influence' of the points of the tool move. Thanks for the ear and double thanks for the great product!!! Tony
