    Hi everyone,


    We’re excited to announce that the Snap to Tangent feature is now available in BETA (starting with version 30.0).

    To use it, simply create a line with the Line Tool or Pen Tool and drag it toward the curve you want it to be tangent to. Once aligned, a “Tangent” label will appear.


    Along with tangential snapping, we’re also introducing Snap to Perpendicular, which makes it easy to draw lines that are perfectly perpendicular to existing straight lines.


    Both Snap to Tangent and Snap to Perpendicular are enabled by default. If you prefer not to use them, you can disable them anytime in Preferences > Smart Guides > Geometric Guides.


    Please try out the features and let us know what you think!

    Yea so basically if you look at the picture I've attached I just mean being able to make lines or shapes parallel, equal, tangent, etc. Things like that.

    Has probably been said a number of times but I'll add to that. Would love to see illustrator have the ability to add constraints/relations to lines and/or shapes. It's a super helpful tool in other programs and would just make it that much easier to make designs super crisp and perfect looking.
