what do you think to turn "reference line" into "axis" made with center line instead of continuos line? in most cases it's actually an axis ....
Also the construction geometry in sketch could have a different line type ( phantom for example) more than the blu color. This differentiates it more from the real geometry to be worked.

Re: [Graphics idea in PD ] : Reference line and Construction geometry
I'm not sure to understand what you are talking about. I'm pretty sure you talk about sketches ...
... but then you talk about an axis, which I don't understand at all. And do you want to change the meaning of the object or do you propose to rename it?
What is a phantom line type? Please note that you can change the color of construction geometry.Also the construction geometry in sketch could have a different line type ( phantom for example) more than the blu color. This differentiates it more from the real geometry to be worked.

By phantom line author mean line style. For now construcion line is continous just like normal geometry (in sketch).
If i am not mistaken phantom line is something like long dash, dot, dot. I dont know if it's official name, but you can google it

In 2022 you still cannot do this in some commercial software xDPlease note that you can change the color of construction geometry.
Re: [Graphics idea in PD ] : Reference line and Construction geometry
This is currently not possible. It was discussed before, and would be appreciated, but currently all lines must have the same style. As far as I understood, is this on Abdullah's radar, when working on a redesign of Sketcher's internals.

Different color is enough for me
