Drawing - Extension line anchor

Drawing - Extension line anchor

(OP)
Good day,

Is there any way to set anchor by dragging anchor itself to desired element? I don't really like to set anchor using RMB menu. I sometimes have like 20 anchors, so choosing right anchor from a list drives me crazy and I always give up.

Regards,
Jenia Ladkov

Pick your 2 features then hold ctrl key, next hover mouse on either yellow dot, then select dot with LMB and slide to desired anchor position.
This is much nicer than trying to guess what anchor you need via the RMB option.
