Usage

  1. Make sure Draft ToggleSnap and Snap Perpendicular are turned on.
  2. Choose Draft Line to draw a shape. Enter the first point.
  3. Move the cursor over a line segment or edge of another object to select the point of perpendicularity.
  4. The edge will be highlighted in yellow, and a small white circle will indicate the point on the edge, or on its extension, to which your point will be attached.
  5. Click to attach your new point.
