Draft Snap Perpendicular
Description
The Draft Snap Perpendicular option snaps to the perpendicular projections of a previous point on faces ((v0.21) ) and edges. The faces and edges can belong to Draft or BIM objects but also to objects created with other workbenches.
This snap option will also find points on extended faces and edges.
Snapping the second point of a line to the perpendicular point on an extended edge
