Often times I use the surface filter for some selections and then turn it off with the "X" hot key. However, when I am in an measurement mode the mouse cursor turns into a "generic" measure tool. But, since there is no distinciton between if the surface filter is on or off, about half the time I have to stop the measurement, change the filter and then finish the measurement. It seems like if a filter is active that the measure tool should have a different mouse cursor then when the filter is off. Does anyone agree that this would be a good suggestion or is there another way around this? Thanks, Edt
