    If I understand your question correctly, you dislike the bindkey setting for when you drag you mouse with button 1 pressed. If you check your bindkey settings, you will see that "Drawthru1" is set to "leSelBoxOrStretch". In your CIW, type this:

    hiGetBindKey("Layout" "<Drawthru1>")
    The result should be: list("<DrawThru1>"          "leSelBoxOrStretch()"

    This bindkey tells Cadence that if something is selected under the cursor, it will be stretched or moved. If nothing is selected, it will create a selection box. We found that this bindkey caused more problems for us with many large objects getting moved inadvertantly, so we change the bindkey:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Drawthru1>" "geSingleSelectBox()")

    I hope this helps.
