Snapping

 


Advanced Snapping
The WildTools Line tool allows you to do tangent and perpendicular snapping to and from rotated ellipses and Bézier curves. (Purists among you already know that a perpendicular to a curve is properly known as 'normal to'--which means 'perpendicular to at a point of tangency'. Please forgive us for calling it 'perpendicular'.)

Let's try it.


Perpendicular from a Bézier. Tangent to a rotated ellipse.

Now let's try the impossible: a tangent from a Bézier curve and a perpendicular to a rotated ellipse.


Tangent to a Bézier curve. Perpendicular to a rotated ellipse.

Now do you see why people love WildTools?

WildTools is an extra-cost add-on to PowerCADD. The features described for WildTools are only available if you purchase WildTools in addition to PowerCADD.
