2D selection tool

[prosado]

Easy question:

When using the 2D selection tool, is there a way to change the display of the selected object to a dashed line instead of the eight selection handles?

When zoomed into a drawing with several lines near by it's hard to know which line was selected without zooming out or going from memory.

Perhaps this is just a simple command or maybe someone knows of a plug-in.

Please help. I thank you in advance,

I don't think there's any way to change the display of selected objects. I don't often have the problem you described, but when I need to see which line is selected I use the Attributes palette to change the color of the selected object. A quicker way to do it, if the line in question isn't very long, is to tap the C key 2 or 3 or 4 times quickly, which zooms in on the selected object. In either case, after establishing which line is selected I use the Undo command.
