Revision clouds - hold down shift to make lines snap to orthogonal planes

Revision clouds - hold down shift to make lines snap to orthogonal planes

When drawing a revision cloud with line segments, line segments should snap to orthogonal directions when holding down the shift key. This in use cases where a revision cloud needs to be a more complicated shape than a rectangle, like an L-shape.

It would be nice if in addition, holding down ctrl+ shift turned on all the standard snapping that you have when drawing a line.

I can understand why you would not want snapping on by default as usually you want the revision cloud to be drawn closely around objects.

However as you stated turning orthogonal and standard snapping on would be great.

I've been using rectangular clouds in combination with freehand snapping. Not ideal, but a usable workaround. Adding orthagonal keys to freehand cloud drawing would help a ton.
