gotta point out that creators are probably not getting cash, our guild contract notoriously lacks any guarantee of residuals for anyone. Maybe the managed to negotiate for it, but I doubt it.

And if that second interface can be in a second window within the program, I can easily go between editing the object and moving it in the board

I miss symbols from the Flash days, where I could nest a bunch of layers of a drawing in one symbol then exit out of it and move everything together without having the shift-select layers every time. Groups in SBP aren't good for anything other than cleaning up layer organization.
