Draft Snap Extension

Description
The Draft Snap Extension option snaps to an imaginary line that extends beyond the endpoints of straight edges. The edges can belong to Draft or Arch objects but also to objects created with other workbenches.

Up to two edged can be referenced by this snap option and Draft Snap Parallel, making it possible to snap to virtual intersections. Both snap options can also be combined with other snap options.
