In Perspective, when using the Pipe Draw tool, I can't move other components unless I select more than one component with my mouse, and can only select them when I box around them using the Select tool. It works just fine when I restart the session, but at one point it stops working. Anybody seen this before? ---

I've noticed that too - it's annoying. Closing and opening the view usually helps 🤷‍♂️ ---

This is the only solution I have found also. It almost makes the whole tool unusable...
