Construction lines

It would be very useful if there was a quick way of creating construction lines, ie. infinite lines defined by some parameters. I found http://www.cad-addict.com/2009/01/autoc ... lines.html that describes a bit how AutoCAD does (or did, in 2009) it.

What I have oftentimes is a segment whose line I have to reference things to, but outside the segment itself (pretty sure I don't have the geometry terms right here, but you get the idea), so - at least to me - the most important thing is to have the ability to quickly draw a construction line "on top of" an existing line (but of course it doesn't hurt to have the other drawing tools and options available :).

Thoughts? Votes even? :)

Hi Kazmer

Totally agree, a feature request already exists for this, please add a vote on the bugtracker (used for feature requests too) to push up the priority.

For those not following, ray and xline has steadily been pouring into the Git version for the past couple of days.

Thanks, Andrew!
