Draft Snap Perpendicular

Description
The Draft Snap Perpendicular option snaps to a previous point's projection on an edge, or a face (perpendicular point), resulting in a connecting line that is perpendicular to the edge or normal to the face  respectively. The edges and faces can belong to Draft or Arch objects but also to objects created with other workbenches.

This snap option will also find points on extended faces and edges.
