IWBNI it were possible to display handles for more than one type of object at once. As it is now, handles are displayed for objects that are associated with the currently selected tool only.

This could be implemented by adding a menu item called Show Handles to the View menu. This menu item would display a new dialog box called Show Handles that could contain the following controls:

----------------------------------------------

The handles associated with the currently selected tool would be displayed.

The handle types selected in the Show Handles dialog box would be displayed regardless of which tool is currently selected.

If the handle of a given object were clicked, the appropriate tool and the object itself would be selected in one step.
