Snapping the second point of a line to one endpoint of an edge of a body, which is then projected on the XY working plane

Usage

  1. Make sure the working plane is set with Draft SelectPlane.
  2. Make sure File:Snap Lock.svg Draft ToggleSnap and File:Snap WorkingPlane.svg Snap WorkingPlane are turned on.
  3. Optionally turn on any other Draft Snap method.
  4. Choose a Draft tool to draw a shape.
  5. Move the cursor over any line, edge, vertex, or object, like you would do with other snapping methods.
  6. A small white circle will indicate the point on the working plane to which your new point will be attached.
  7. Click to attach your new point.
