+To enable this mode press {{{A}}} twice (status bar with angle with be highlighted in bright green), then you need to use {{{Right mouse click}} on segment you want to use as you base. 
+
+Any way segment when snapping enabled, allows to use that segment as reference or base segment.
+
+Instead of the right click you can also hold {{{Ctrl}}} while ''moving mouse over'' desired reference segment.
+
+Use this mode to draw segment that is parallel, perpendicular or 45 degrees-aligned to the reference segment(s):
