How to display a vertical line with the mouse cursor?

Q & A
#1

So I’m using the historical template to build a historical map of the recent 250-year world history based on major countries including the USA, Soviet Union, China, etc, as well as big events like World Wars, natural disasters, etc. In this way, whenever given an event, I can see how that event happened in a time “context” by understanding the real international environment around it.

To achieve this kind of event comparison and analysis, I think it’s important to have a vertical line moving with the mouse cursor (in real-time) so when I point to a specific event, I can see what other events in the world were also happening.

It’s a simple feature but I couldn’t find it in Aeon Timeline 3. Can anyone tell me how to find it?

Thanks.

Regards,
Acon

This currently isn’t possible in Aeon Timeline 3 (a vertical line only appears when you are dragging events to move them). We will add it to our feature request list.

This ever happen? I don’t see any trace of it in the settings, but just making sure. This would be cool, especially if the date it was on showed up next to it.

No, this isn’t something that has been implemented
