Dear Matej, when creating Sets in the FE based selection window it would be useful to have the capability of reading a list of nodes/elements IDs from a text file, maybe in .inp format as  
\*Nset, Nset=test\_Nodes  
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9  
to assign also the set name or simply the list.  
Another useful option could be the capability to paste a comma-separated list in the ID box.  
Thx  
Vittorio
