2D Sketches: A very good idea in 2025 - projecting edges as contruction lines by holding the SHIFT-Key, but.....

 

 

.... what's about creating constraints or dimensions to edges of a part?

 

I think this option - holding the SHIFT-Key - to toggle between construction or normal during projection process is not thought to the end:

 

If I create a constraint to an edge of a part, the edge is projected as a normal object!

 

It would be great, if I could do the same selection - normal projected object  /  projected object as a construction (dotted) object -  just by holding the SHIFT - Key during placement of a  constraints or dimensions to an edge of the part.

 

Background:

I try to avoid unnecessary closed loops in my sketches:

 

So my work flow at the moment: switching the icon for creating construction lines on before starting placing constraints or dimensions to edges of a part.

 

What do You thing about this?

 

Thank You

Since I want 99% of my projected edges set to “construction” I have set the appropriate checkbox in the application options…
