Hi Michael,

It make sense, it could be confusing this way...
Well, it was just a thought.

Hi Eric, yes this what I do also!

I think construction lines are selectable and movable

Yes just click on the little thumbnail that appears at each helpers line release ;)
you can move rotate re orient Divide and project !

Hi Burr,

> I think construction lines are selectable and movable

Yeah they are if you use one of those script methods to make one that stays around after the current command exits.

But it's kind of hacky - they don't have highlights or show in selected colors even though they can be dragged around. It's not really a fully finished off area.

Solidworks allows infinite lines. They can be construction lines or real lines. If they are left as real lines, SW ignores them when using the sketch, say, for extruding. This is confusing so I always convert them to construction lines.
