    Hello everyone,


    Lately we have been thinking about improving the snapping / smartguide experience on Illustrator and we need your help in this process.


    Please spare us some time of yours where we can come together on a online meeting and discuss your needs and pain point around snapping.

    In SOLIDWORKS there is a feature to assign lines/shapes a relationship (parallel, perpendicular for straight lines; concentric, cordial for circles; etc.). And one of the most useful is the tangent relationship.

    I would like to be able to, with the click of a button, assign a pair of lines/shapes a certain relationship that is persistent and updates all related elements when moved, rotated, etc. This would be similar to the join commant that allows two points to be connected and act as a single piece.

    This would speed up a lot of the work I do with icons etc, where a geometric and engineering style approach is required.
