Hi Brian, Pilou was asking a question about how the "Project next pt" construction line function works.
So that video shows drawing a line and using it, it's on the construction line popup menu, there's more information here:

Nope, those are different things although they do involve projection of some sort.
The question Pilou had was about the construction line projection option.

Nope, neither of these are required to use the construction line "Project next pt" function. These options that you're referring to can adjust how some of the snapping behavior works though. By default when you're picking points in an ortho view, it flattens any snap points you hit so that the shape that you are drawing will be planar. That's different than how picking points in the 3D view works, if you pick 2 points in the 3D view for a line they can be on different elevations. If you want the ortho views to behave the same way and not planarize snap points, you can turn off that "Project to plane in ortho views" option, but I wouldn't recommend it.
