Draft Snap Parallel/pl

Description
The Draft Snap Parallel option snaps to an imaginary line parallel to straight edges. The edges can belong to Draft or Arch objects but also to objects created with other workbenches.

Up to 2 (or 8 ) edges can be referenced by this snap option and Draft Snap Extension, making it possible to snap to virtual intersections. Both snap options can also be combined with other snap options.

In FreeCAD version 0.19 and earlier this snap option does not work if the cursor is next to the referenced edge.



Usage
For general information about snapping see Draft Snap.


 * 1) Make sure snapping is enabled. See [[Image:Draft_Snap_Lock.svg|16px]] Draft Snap Lock.
 * 2) If Draft Snap Parallel is not active do one of the following:
 * 3) * Press the button in the Draft Snap toolbar.
 * 4) * Press the button in the Draft snap widget and in the menu select the  option.
 * 5) Choose a Draft or Arch command to create your geometry.
 * 6) Note that you can also change snap options while a command is active.
 * 7) Pick a first point. This snap option requires a previous point. The parallel snap line will pass through this point.
 * 8) Move the cursor over a straight edge.
 * 9) The edge is highlighted.
 * 10) If you now move the cursor around the previous point you will notice a "magnetic" effect when the cursor is on the parallel snap line.
 * 11) The point is marked and the [[Image:Draft_Snap_Parallel.svg|16px]] icon is displayed near the cursor.
 * 12) Click to confirm the point.
