Draft ToggleConstructionMode/en

Description
The Draft ToggleConstructionMode command switches Draft construction mode on or off. If construction mode is on new Draft objects, except Draft Points, are placed in a dedicated group and given a predefined color. This feature is intended for, often temporary, construction geometry used to provide new snap points for creating other objects. When the construction geometry is no longer needed the construction group can easily be hidden or deleted.
