Using a horizontally/vertically ray means always I have to use a preset Reference point which is 0° for the horizontal Ray and 90° for the vertically Ray. The Reference point Option Box is deactivated.

It would be nice to be able to choose by myself between a Start and End Reference point like the vert./horiz. Line options.

Yes I can see the sense in this, if you are only using the Vertical (LV) and Horizontal (LH) line tools to keep things orthogonal and laying down construction lines,currently it only allows the Rays (in this mode) to be drawn in the + Positive direction!

I hope this is what you meant.

I understand why the Reference point Option Box is deactivated.
What would the middle point be for a Ray or XLine Entity?

That practically excludes Rays in the 180 and 270 degrees direction.

For Rays, the Reference point Option Box could be repopulated with Start-End.
Start would be option 0 for all but End becomes option 1 with Rays.
