In 8.5 I could click on a previous note in PRV and the next time I clicked it would create a note that size.



This was brought up in another thread, and one of the Bakers chimed in and said he would try to raise the priority on restoring the "remember last note size" functionality. 


Thanks, I missed that thread.

I am looking to be able to lasso notes in PRV with irregular shapes. Seems I can only lasso rectangles. Is this a functionality added to Platinum? I'm still on X3.

Just perform your normal right click + Hold + Drag to lasso a group of notes.
Then: Simply Hold CNTRL and Right click + Hold + Drag that next group of notes.
 
PS- You bumped a 7 year old thread

Also selections are inverted where select boxes overlap. The combination of CTRL+lasso and overlap should be able to create any irregularly shaped selection.

That's what I've been doing (Ctrl-drag) but drawing irregular or polygon selections is such a common gesture in many other applications, and it seems like it would at least have been discussed by the dev team at some point, because it's potential usability value could be huge.

Although I have occasionally wished I could more easily make an irregular selection in the PRV, it doesn't seem to come up on the forum that much (or ever?). If it were to be implemented, I would prefer it used some modifier key so it didn't interfere with the current lasso gesture. I wouldn't want to have to always draw a shape to get a basic rectangular selection that now only requires a simple diagonal sweep.
