+
+=== Basic usage ===
+
+Use this mode to draw segment that is parallel, perpendicular or at precisely defined angles (30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) degrees to the '''base segment''':
+
+1. To enable this mode
+ * press {{{A}}} when ''Draw mode'' is enabled (i.e. {{{A}}} twice)
+ * use [wiki:Help/Menu/Edit menu "Edit" > "Angle snapping"]
+ * [wiki:Help/StatusBar#anglemenu activate "Angle snapping" item from the status bar pop-up menu]
+When enabled, [wiki:Help/StatusBar status bar] with angle with be highlighted in bright green.
+2. To select ''base segment'': 
+ * click {{{Right mouse click}}} on segment you want to use as reference OR
+ * move mouse over segment while holding {{{Ctrl}}}
+3. Angle snapping mode will "snap" new segments to predefined list of angles

+
+=== Angles ===
+
+You can choose the direction of next segment to make specific angle between segments (0,30,45,90, degrees etc.).

+
+=== Base segment can be changed as many times as you want ===
+
+[[Image(Help/Action/Draw:ex3-anglesnapping-change-base-segment.gif,nolink)]]
+
+=== Base segment will be preserved while drawing mode is on ===
+
+Pay attention how "Draw mode" was '''NEVER''' disabled during this illustration:

+
+=== Snapping to nodes of the drawn way ===
+
+(stub) 
+
+Note that it will snap to the nodes only based on 90° angles and regardless of the distance.
+
+=== Advanced settings ===
+
+To choose angles, disable showing helper geometry, or disable snapping, use right-click on Angle symbol in statusbar and select corresponding item in [Help/StatusBar#anglemenu popup menu].
