You can choose the direction of next segment to make specific angle between segments (0,30,45,90, degrees etc.).

Base segment can be changed as many times as you want

Base segment will be preserved while drawing mode is on

Pay attention how "Draw mode" was NEVER disabled during this illustration:

Snapping to nodes of the drawn way

Note that it will snap to the nodes only based on 90° angles and regardless of the distance.
