Problem description

I would like to propose an easy improvement in the Sketcher module that can make it easier to use and faster.

While using the following button commands: "Constrain horizontal distance" & "Constrain vertical distance"

It would be great to run highlight edges from "Create external geometry" when the mouse hovers above external geometries and in case the user clicks, to create the external geometry automatically.

I think all the functionality is existing already.

This way the user can create constraints directly to the edges of the body without additional clicks.

Anything else?
