Bug Description
I find myself creating routing paths more often lately.
Taking the board outline (rounded edges) as a reference, it's getting tedious to determine the center-points for arcs, as well as their starting- and end-points. More or less the same issue with polygon lines.
A visual indicator of where these points are would help immensely. Indicators should show up for existing arc/lines as well as while creating new ones. Possibly have this configurable via display settings.
See the mockup image.

A few additions:
1) To avoid a cluttered-up look, it would be good to only show these handles when needed (i.e. by pressing a hotkey), or when the cursor is in their vicinity.
2) Unfortunately the grid is not always aligned to handles, so optional snapping (global config and / or hotkey) to them would be nice. Much like snapping to pads and tracks.
