One problem I find with working in VW is that moving/selecting objects does not work optimally. For example, here I want to move the blue selected rectangle by its top left vertex. However when I click, the object being moved is actually the highlighted red rectangle. This seems a little unnessersary because it can be assumed, once you've selected an object, it is what you intend to move. Another problem is that the cursor position for moving an object by its vertex, and editing that object are almost identical. This makes the control extremely fidgety and hard to use. Is there a way to optimize this and similar controls in the program settings? As a note: Im still working in VW23, maybe some things have been altered since then.

I am an exhibition designer and have to make a lot of custom parts and architecture in my VW files. One thing that i am finding extremely frustrating (almost to the point of refusing to use VW) is parts and sketches jumping off to random locations when editing from a 3D object, if the part has been moved or copied from the another location. It makes it almost impossible for me to edit anything that need to be referenced from other objects (which is basically everything i do). Right now, i'm not after workarounds or people saying they do not experience this. I rely need someone to tell me how to set up VW so it simply keeps the sketches and the 3D in the place it is being edited. The 3 images attached show my issue: 001 - what i'm working on in location. 002- the part i want to edit in reference to the other visible parts. 003- what i get if i double click on it to change the sketch. I hope someone can understand why this workflow is not usable in most situations... I am also aware of the "show other objects while in edit mode" feature. Please help
