sorry about the OT...
I have two "eternal" question about lightwave.. not kray (kray is near to perfection.... :D )
1) why it's so difficult pick up objects in layout (left mouse-clicking)
2) why newtek since lw5.6 has eliminated 45° snapping in modeler by pressing CTRL? (ortho remains)

does anyone have some solutions?

big thanks...

1 . I hate it too... It annoys me even more that when you do manage to select object in viewport you most likely moved it unintentionally also... Thats why i rely on scene editor or object picker almost exclusively...

2 . just get LWCAD - if you haven't got it already. ;)

1. Use mmb in layout to make selections. Mmb in modeller to add selections.
2. I haven't used lw that long but I use pictrix sp move a lot and his other plugin as well. Snap angle xyz.
