How can I make a line that follows another line with Potlatch?

2
1

I drew some forest areas using Potlatch - I used the "straighten way" tool for that. But sometimes I would like to follow another line e.g. a "coast line" or an existing "forest polygon".

Is there any way to do this with Potlatch 2?

In potlach2 if you wish to use part of the same line again click on a couple of its nodes then press "f" for follow
