Make Grips Visible and Useable on 4k displays

When using Grips for Structures and Pipes - the grip blends too much into the background color, and on a 4K screen is TINY. The pipe grip is annoying to select (it only appears when I select the centerline of the pipe) but when adjusting or swapin...

Civil Cell dgnlib - Sort by name rather than date created

Currently Civil Cells are sorted by date created rather than by name when loaded from a dgnlib. This makes it very difficult to sort these. Oddly, when they are within a file (where the civil cell is "living") they sort by name.
