Hello! Coming from a lifelong Illustrator user, (who is getting ever more fed up with it), and I loved Affinity initially, BUT I don't seem to be able to find a way to snap directly to the end of lines and/or the anchor points in a shape/line? I make complex articulating designs which are laser cut, and I need to be able to move and place individual 'parts' on the drawing, accurately snapped to their counterpart layers. In Illustrator I can snap them to their anchor points... but I don't seem to be able to here.

I know I could align to their extremities, but when it's a few shapes grouped, I need to be able to snap to parts within them. I want to align the end of the internal line in red (which is a Pig's mouth haha!), on the corresponding one in black, so I can then rotate around that point and align the shapes perfectly. 

Also, it would be so useful to be able to select RtL and Ltr and have that do different things, like in AutoCAD, where one way selects only fully enclosed objects, and the other selects whatever it touches. 

Otherwise really love the interface and potential! I'd LOVE to quit Adobe altogether!
