Freeze Non-Selected Curves
Freeze Non-Selected Curves makes all non-highlighted curves uneditable.
Default=On. Freeze Non-Selected Curves is a selection modifier and has the
following properties:
■ Non-highlighted curves display as dashed lines.
■ You can manipulate vertices on highlighted curves only in the Edit window.
■ You highlight other curves by clicking their icons in the Hierarchy list.
Turn Freeze Non-Selected Curves off when you want to be able to edit
multiple curves without having to select them all. Turn Freeze Non-Selected
Curves On when you have multiple vertices on multiple curves all in the
same place.
