Hi Steve,

> Maybe the Tangent snap should be renamed to "To Tangent"?

Well, pretty much all the object snaps are "To" points...

For example End snap snaps on to an end point of a curve, Mid snap snaps on to a midpoint of a line, etc...

Tangent Object Snap snaps on to tangent points on a curve that are calculated by the line from the previous picked point to the curve.


If you want to track along a straight line, then that's what Straight Snap is for - it will do lines in axis directions, tangents, perpendicular, or surface normals.
