| 105 | | === Basic usage === |
| 106 | | |
| 107 | | Use this mode to draw segment that is parallel, perpendicular or at precisely defined angles (30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) degrees to the '''base segment''': |
| 108 | | |
| 109 | | 1. To enable this mode |
| 110 | | * press {{{A}}} when ''Draw mode'' is enabled (i.e. {{{A}}} twice) |
| 111 | | * use [wiki:Help/Menu/Edit menu "Edit" > "Angle snapping"] |
| 112 | | * [wiki:Help/StatusBar#anglemenu activate "Angle snapping" item from the status bar pop-up menu] |
| 113 | | When enabled, [wiki:Help/StatusBar status bar] with angle with be highlighted in bright green. |
| 114 | | 2. To select ''base segment'': |
| 115 | | * click {{{Right mouse click}}} on segment you want to use as reference OR |
| 116 | | * move mouse over segment while holding {{{Ctrl}}} |
| 117 | | 3. Angle snapping mode will "snap" new segments to predefined list of angles |

| 120 | | |
| 121 | | === Angles === |
| 122 | | |
| 123 | | You can choose the direction of next segment to make specific angle between segments (0,30,45,90, degrees etc.). |

| 127 | | === Base segment can be changed as many times as you want === |

| 130 | | |
| 131 | | === Base segment will be preserved while drawing mode is on === |
| 132 | | |
| 133 | | Pay attention how "Draw mode" was '''NEVER''' disabled during this illustration: |

| 136 | | |
| 137 | | === Snapping to nodes of the drawn way === |
| 138 | | |
| 139 | | (stub) |
| 140 | | |
| 141 | | Note that it will snap to the nodes only based on 90° angles and regardless of the distance. |
| 142 | | |
| 143 | | === Advanced settings === |
| 144 | | |
| 145 | | 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]. |
| | 105 | Often necessary when editing barriers, fences, walls, and other man-made objects, covered here: '''[[Help/Action/Draw/AngleSnap]]'''. |
