Anyway to stop lines 'sticking' to axes

AEG · November 18, 2021, 4:47pm

Hello, is there a way to stop lines (when drawing them) from sticking to the three axes?
There are some cases when it is needed to draw a line that is not exactly parallel to an axis but pretty close, and it is a pain to have to fiddle around.
Thanks!

Is there a place where all these shortcuts and things are listed?
