Hello,

I'm trying to create a workflow for digitizing with a Wacom tablet. My main issue is using the streaming mode while also trying to begin and end an edit where I'm snapping to existing linework. Oftentimes, I'm left with dangles and other jumbles of ugliness. I have also increased the snapping tolerance to avoid this, but then I'm often snapping to vertices I don't intend to. I've stapled together a method to use streaming mode while editing by doing the following:

  • Starting in line mode to snap to an existing vertex line
  • switching to streaming mode and continuing to create my new line
  • when approaching a second line I would like to snap to, switch back to line mode to snap

While this is functional, it is finicky and not ideal. I had envisioned another form of editing but I'm not sure it exists. It would be very similar to the reshape tool, but instead of changing the line segment from one geometry to another, it would simply keep both. One would start drawing outside a a given line, intersect it, continue to draw, and intersect it again. All areas outside of the line would be removed, and the section between the intersections would persist. Does anything like this exist?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
