Angle Snapping for Straightedge Lines

Hi, I am a STEM major who uses OpenBrush for scientific drawings. It would be great if there was a setting to snap the x, y, and z angle while drawing straightedge lines so that I can draw accurate perpendiculars in scale drawings. I’m using OpenBrush for multiple projects so, even if it’s not polished, I’d appreciate a bare-bones version whenever it’s ready… I’m happy to beta or alpha-test.

I just had a look at the code and realised this is partly already a feature. The A button on your brush controller (or the pad on a vive wand) when using the straight edge tool should have a lock icon on it. this gives you 45 degree angle snapping. i'll leave this feature request open because it would be nice to integrate this properly with angle snapping settings @nerdyboi

Perfect, thank you! In the UI, an X, Y and Z snapping control would be great. Additional request: snapping the start of straightedge lines to existing straightedge line end points… and then showing the angle measure between the two lines.

Done this. I'll create another suggestion post to discuss it: https://discord.com/channels/783806589991780412/1429536700836876449
