Added Feature to Tangent Constraint

I think it would be extremely helpful if we could make lines and curves of sketches tangent to a face. This would work by taking the curve of the face from where the sketch's plane intersects it and then the line would be tangent to that. I can currently do something like this by splitting the part/surface to then make the sketch tangent to that edge however this takes a lot of steps and adds more features that I have to go through.

You don't need to split the face, just create the intersection curve. If necessary you can split that and/or trim it.

The use function in a new sketch will provide the profile curve asked for to be tangent to.
