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.
