This new option is measured perpendicular to the edge.

Actually one thing I didn't think about for this is what if the base point and target line are on different elevations.

Right now it will move it in kind of an angled way, making the 3D distance the specified distance, but maybe it should try to use a projected distance instead... But then should it place the final point on the line's elevation or on the base point's elevation? I guess SolidWorks probably places these constraints only on things that it knows are all on one sketch plane.
