Of course there is always the more annoying and harder to remember, click on a point then go to the contextual menu and chose construction line. Are things different in ViaCad land, or am I just misinterpreting the question ?

Bottom of the right-click menu is construction lines. Murray, just for the records, although Macs come with a (horrible) 1-button mouse (well actually they are 3-button, but you would never guess, and they are still horrible!), Mac will accept up to I think about 300 or so buttons! I swear by this Logitech Marble Trackball mouse. Been using it for years. If you hold the middle scroll wheel button down, while spinning the ball, it's a great tool for working fast, with CAD. Who needs a Space Navigator? :D:D

It would be interesting to know if this tool (which was present in LT) is present in ViaCAD Pro?
