I was wondering if there is a setting I'm missing that allows objects to snap to angled guide lines when you drag an object to it. I'm mainly trying to align ellipses at tangents to multiple guide lines like in this image. I currently have to do it by finding the midpoint of the bisected segment and using nodes at that point to snap to the guide line.
Thanks in advance.
I think you might be doing it the only way possible but, look into Chris's suggestion above to see if that helps.
If you need to make many circles along a guideline, then duplicate many pre-made bisected arcs and grab the node to snap into place.
