Hi pior, oh yes additionally having them triggered with a drag gesture instead of hovering over a point also unlocks a lot of powerful additional snap functions because the drag gesture forms a line with a start point and an end point that you can specify rather than only having a ray coming out from a single point.

So for example you can get the midpoint between any 2 points you want using a MoI construction line, which you would not get with a hover activated method.

There are also reflection points, divisions between the start/end, relocating and reorienting the construction lines so you can capture a distance or direction between 2 points and apply it elsewhere. It's a lot of precision drawing functionality covered with one tool and much of the additional functionality cannot be done with a hover activated single point.

Lots of details and examples here:

So it's much better both in staying out of your way but also in additional functionality compared to a "hover activated" method.

Hi Michael ! That's all very true, and a whole area I still have to explore. Thank you for the pointers !
At least I won't be constructing actual lines/polylines just to serve as a reference points anymore :D
