Snap Parallel

In one sentence: Snaps along a direction parallel to an existing edge — hover the edge to lock its direction, then snap anywhere on parallel lines.

Overview

Workbench: Draft
Toolbar: Draft Snap
Command: Draft_Snap_Parallel

Indicator: Dashed yellow line showing the parallel direction.

Move the cursor near an edge to lock in its direction, then move anywhere to snap on lines parallel to that edge.

Power combination

Snap Extension + Snap Parallel: snap along the extension of one edge at a position parallel to another — useful for constructing reference geometry without extra lines.
