Bug Description
(I'm sorry if this functionality is already present, but in that case I can't find it...)
It would be useful to create a couple of nodes with particular angles and then be able to snap drawing tools to these *directions* but not their positions; like the way the line tool behaves when you press ctrl, only it "snaps" to the angles of any defined guides instead of predefined steps of 15 degrees. This would provide a sort of "poor man's perspective tool" for isometric type drawings, among other things. Of course a grid could be used but sometimes a grid is too restricting.
I suppose Shift+Ctrl or some other key combination could be used for aligning line segments to guides.
What would be *really* cool is if the segments snapped in this way would stick to the guides and change if you rotated the guides... but I think it may be practically impossible.
