I love FreeCAD (I use the daily build, 1.1.0dev), but there are two limitations with it that are driving me crazy. Maybe someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong:

• How can I select hidden features? By that I mean, features that are stacked on top of each other or hidden behind another feature. For example, 2 lines sharing the same space in a sketch, or like in the assembly in the attached image, something inside the box.

  In SolidWorks, you can hold Shift (IIRC - I haven’t used it in 15 years) and it cycles through the elements that occupy the same space where you click, I can’t believe there isn’t a similar feature in FreeCAD because it’s so essential. But I can’t find it for the life of me.

• In an assembly (new 1.x default assembly workbench), is there a way to manually “grab” parts that aren’t fully constrained and move them with the mouse?

  Again, in SolidWorks, this is trivially easy to do. I used to use that all the time to quickly see if my parts moved as they should. It’s really hard to get a feel for whether the design is correct when nothing readily moves in FreeCAD.

  Not to mention, very often, the constraint resolver doesn’t quite understand what I want and I’d like to manually locate the parts close to where they ought to be to “help” the resolver, if that makes sense.

  Can you do that in the new assembly workbench? That too seems so essential I can’t believe it’s missing.
