Snapping :
Snap to tangent and perpendicular (new!)
We’ve made snapping in Illustrator even smarter and more precise! Two powerful new options are now available to help you draw and align with ease:

Easily snap straight paths to the tangent of curves. This ensures your design elements flow smoothly along circular or curved paths without guesswork.
