Polyline Angle Snap

Hey there, I'm not sure if this is something that's already been posted but I'm about halfway through some serious lighting work on a map and I wanted to throw this idea out there. It would be nice if I could hold a key (alt) to force angle snapping while drawing polylines for lighting (similar to the line tool in many image editors). I realize you can snap to grid, but half the maps I use don't line up exactly with the gridlines to allow the players to see the walls and not just darkness, so the grid snap portion is undesirable. Thanks!

As a temporary workaround in the meantime you can set your grid to be 0.1 or 0.2 units so that the current grid snapping option gives you finer control. Once you've drawn you lighting lines you can put the grid back to normal and reap the reward of a well crafted lighting layer :)

That's a really good idea, thanks! I wish I had thought of that 500 map-feet ago. :P
