Hi, Michael, 
    I have tried using moi's construction lines. They just don't seem to work well for some tasks.  especially in the 3d view (which is  the view i like to ideally work in 80% of the time). 
    I can't seem to draw say a  rectangle that is 24 inches tall exclusively in perspective view as easily as i can in application X using its inferencing mechanism.  I'll make a quick video this weekend showing what i mean.  It is difficult to explain without images.     
  However i may be missing something or not using the construction lines in moi properly. I have never been able to draw constuction lines freely in 3d view; they always seem to be constrained to the xy plane no matter how much i tumble the view before drawing.
