Draw over existing objects

I am trying to set up an environment where I can use the standard 
drawing tools (graphic, field, pointer) and draw over top of a group, 
so that I can catch the new objects and add them to the group myself.  
I set the cantSelect of the group, etc., and that stuff is working 
okay; however, when I try to draw over the group, nothing happens.

Apparently, Rev automatically tries to select an object when you 
mouseDown on it in pointer mode, even when you are using the graphic 
tool instead of the pointer tool.  Thus instead of starting to draw a 
graphic, Rev is trying to select the group, but sees the cantSelect 
property and just decides to do nothing instead.

Anyone know of a way to convince Rev to start the new graphic rather 
than just sit there when I try to draw with such a group underneath?

Rev 2.5, OS X.3.whatever, etc.

Thank you!
