It would be useful to have an additional line tool that could be drawn tangent to an existing circle and perpendicular to a line.

Great new tool, very useful.

In testing I noticed that if I select the wrong entity - say a circle, arc etc. the feedback in the error message is wrong, to my thinking it should read 'Entity is not a Line'!

See attached screenshot.
