• In multi-user Modeling environments, any construction lines that are in your current erection view can be seen by you only, and therefore any changes you make to them will be seen by you alone. In addition to the ability to change the color of construction lines, you can make them " Finite " or " Finite. " When " Finite line " is checked, each construction line terminates at the two points used to add it. Construction lines added by locating a point then specifying an angle ( ANGL ) are always infinite and cannot be changed to finite.
• The Drawing Editor does not support finite construction lines, but you can use this tool to move all construction lines that are visible in your current drawing to a drawing layer of your choice.
  
  

  Drawing Editor only

  drawing layer the construction lines are drawn on.

• Construction lines on drawings are not plotted when those drawings are printed.
• Since there are some fundamental differences between construction lines in a 2D and 3D environment, the options shown on the Construction Line Edit window depend on whether you are in the Drawing Editor or Modeling .
