Wishlist: New tool - Swap item

[Nikgwolf]

Dear Vectorworks,

I have seen great need to occasionally switch two objects. A simple tool switching them from their relative insertion point would be sufficient.

If they are symbols, you can use the symbol replace tool to do this.

Thanks for your response Chris, but what I mean is to swap two items that are already in the document. For example, in my line of work: Theatrical Lighting Design, there have been numerous occasions where I want to swap the location of two adjacent lighting fixtures. Instead, I have to move the first object out of the way, slide the second object to the first object's position, then move the first object to the second's place.

Sorry, I should have given this example sooner.

Take a look at Sam Jones' tools. I'm pretty sure that is one that he covers.
