<![CDATA[Add Unlock to the Right-Click Menu for Locked Objects]]>I was experimenting with setting the lock settings to "Allow Locked Objects" as active - so I can select a locked item but not move or edit it. I'm now seeing the value in this feature. Every day I learn new tricks and methods that improve my use of VS!

When Select → Options → Allow Locked Objects is enabled, locked objects can be selected without being edited.

This makes it easy to choose exactly which locked objects I want to unlock, but the final step still requires going to Object → Locked.

I think it would be useful to add Unlock or Toggle Locked to the right-click context menu when a locked object is selected.
This would be be another fast method to control what is locked or unlocked. It would only appear in the right-click menu when a locked object is selected and "Allow Locked Objects" is enabled

Suggested workflow

  1. Enable Allow Locked Objects
  2. Select one or more locked objects
  3. Right-click
  4. Choose Unlock

This would make selective unlocking much faster, especially in files with many locked objects spread across different layers.
