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!

When using the Pen (Path) tool I wish there was a way to to make adjacent arcs tangent to one another. Basically I just wish that Illustrator would act more like Corel, AutoCAD, or Solid Works in the way that the user has the ability to alter the shape characteristics of adjacent line segments. This would help immensely when creating ovoid/ ellipse forms and instead of eyeballing the shape to get it right, one could just click on the 'tangent' feature and it would automatically correct itself.
