Selection Instead Of Moving In Assemblies
I cannot use a marque selection box twice in an assembly like I can in a part studio. After the first selection box is released, attempts with or without modifier keys merely moves objects. How do I use a selection box multiple times in an assembly?
On iOS it's simple enough since after making a first selection and dismissing the dialog box, the view locks and lets me issue another selection box and dismiss its dialog to add a second dragged selection.
On desktop you would naturally expect the shift key to work for this.

It seems like I've had this problem also.
The problem is that there is no Assembly move tool icon so that tool is always activated as soon as any initial selection is made. Assemblies I need to view in detail by hiding dozens of things. I can't do that if I have to manually click on each item to select it.
My preference is to group items ahead of time so only one of the parts needs selecting to move many.
