Hi isaac - in MoI you can do the same kind of thing, move your mouse over to the same location, then click down and drag out a construction line.

The advantage to this is that the inference only kicks in when you make this definite gesture to activate it.

Just moving over top of something with no other gesture tends to cause a lot of "false activations", where inferences start popping up because you just happened to hold the mouse still for a moment somewhere while you were thinking or whatever, instead of actually intending to activate the inference.


There are also other advantages to MoI's construction line system - those kind of inference type systems radiate directions out from a single point. MoI's construction line lets you give 2 points, a base point and a release point - this gives other abilities like mirroring points or getting the midpoint between any 2 points all with the same mechanism, which the single-point inference is not able to do...


Are you finding it difficult to create construction lines in MoI? I mean you don't have to hold down special keys or click a button to activate them, you do one click and drag motion with your mouse and it should make one.
