Hi Brian, yup that's right, it is kind of a one-shot deal that goes away after you finish the current command.
If you want it back again for a second command you would need to repeat those steps.
One method around this is to use a drawing tool like Polyline that lets you place many points inside of a single command, rather than the single "line" tool that just draws one line with each run.
The one I was showing in the demo there was the Polyline tool, that's why those lines stayed around for me until I had finished the whole shape I was drawing.
Also it is actually possible to use some scripts to keep the divided construction line around for longer, there are some scripts for that listed here: http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/#KeepCLine .
If you find yourself needing to repeat that frequently then you could set up keyboard shortcuts with the "KeepCLine" script on it and that would eliminate the repeating step.
