Tool Work Lines adds visual guidelines to help you see exactly where your tools and implements will work before you start the job.
Hold the show-lines key and the mod displays left/right work-width indicators on the ground, plus a dotted center guide line. This helps with lining up passes more accurately when mowing, cultivating, plowing, seeding, spraying, using bale equipment, and working with other tools.

Beta Notice
This is a beta release. The main work-line system is working well, but some tools may still use fallback detection if they do not provide standard work-area data. Please report any tools that show incorrect width, position, or direction so support can be improved in future updates.

V_0.1.0.3
Changed to beta, did not mean to have it be a release version- we are still working through errors and improving. Your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!
Added projection-style guidelines for front loader attachments.
Front loader tools now draw projected lines from the attachment instead of full-body fallback lines.
Added support for loader tools such as:
– buckets, pallet forks, bale forks, bale spikes, grapples, similar front loader attachments
– Attachment projection lines now follow the attachment’s current pointing angle/height instead of snapping flat to the ground.
– Added a red cross/edge line at the front attachment edge.
Added separate color settings for:
– Rear/default tool lines, front attachment projection lines
– Updated the Alt + Z color dialog to include both rear/default and front attachment color options.
– Improved front/rear weight detection so weights should be skipped before fallback lines are drawn.
Fixed:
– Key binding issues.
