Well equipped issue report.

P.S. To spare you the troubles and answers on why you didn't read the "submission guidelines" and things like that. It's accustomed to add a pingback link to forum thread in the issue reports. But all in all if all bug finders/reporters would do such a good job. Likely developers would spend way more time on the issue tracker. ;)

I just noticed that there is already such a mode! It's called "Tangent to surface" (aka "TangentPlane"). It's a bit cumbersome to get... you have to close your new sketch, select it, then click "..." on Map Mode, click Reference2 and select the Verte x that you want as the origin for the new sketch. Then double-click the sketch again.

I'd like to create a simple feature request to make this workflow much easier: If you have a face and a vertex selected when clicking "New sketch", the attachment mode for the sketch should be TangentPlane with the vertex as Reference2.

What do you guys think?
