      Two great features used in the graphite app are a "snap to artboard center" and "lock angle" Here is a video showing lock angle
      Basically, you make a line path and then hold down the control key while making the second line and it will lock in the same angle. This can be releated as long as you do not create a path with a different angle. it remembers the last angle made. very handy in my opinion

      Here is the link to the video showing the "snap to artboard center"

      Seems simple but helpful

        @Boldline Similar to the "lock angle", in VectorStyler if you enable "Snap to Shape", a line will snap to the closest angle of an existing line.

        And if the "Snap to Artboard" is enabled that will snap to the centerline of artboards.

          @VectorStyler yes, I agree the snap option for art board works just fine for VS.
          I love the snap option in VS for moving a line to be similar to another close by! I don't think I realized it could do such magic! That said, I still think the line angle lock is a cool feature I'd love to see in VS at some point when possible - just my vote and opinion
