Snapping to an angle

[GWS]

When I use the tangent mode to create a line on the tangent of a circle, I find that entering an angle in the floating bar doesn't seem to work.

I can enter an angle of say 30? and press return, the angle is locked into the floating bar but the line doesn't snap to that angle.

Is there something I'm missing?

HI GWS,

You're right. It doesn't lock as expected. The length does but not the angle.

While in this mode the Shift Key - constrain angle is also disabled.
