Snap to common angles for measure tool
Snap to common angles for measure tool
It would be nice if we could do something like hold down the "Shift" or "Ctrl" key when we use the measure or cut contours tools to constrain the generated line to common angles (like every 45°).

Re: Snap to common angles for measure and cut contours tools
The cut contours tool already does that by holding down Shift. It constrains the cut by increments of 15°
It would be useful to constrain the measure tool to horizontal and vertical at least, but if that's not difficult, then I suppose that 15°increments would be just as easy, and more consistent.

I'll have to try again. The last time I did a cut where I specifically wanted it to be at 45°, I couldn't get that to work, so I assumed it wasn't a feature.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:The cut contours tool already does that by holding down Shift. It constrains the cut by increments of 15°

• Knife tool and rotation of contours constrained to increments of 15° by holding the shift key.
