Construction lines

Post by kazmer » Thu May 22, 2014 1:22 am

It would be very useful if there was a quick way of creating construction lines, ie. infinite lines defined by some parameters. I found http://www.cad-addict.com/2009/01/autoc ... lines.html that describes a bit how AutoCAD does (or did, in 2009) it.

What I have oftentimes is a segment whose line I have to reference things to, but outside the segment itself (pretty sure I don't have the geometry terms right here, but you get the idea), so - at least to me - the most important thing is to have the ability to quickly draw a construction line "on top of" an existing line (but of course it doesn't hurt to have the other drawing tools and options available :).

Thoughts? Votes even? :)

For those not following, ray and xline has steadily been pouring into the Git version for the past couple of days.

Thanks, Andrew!
