While snapping with skew and scale has long been implemented, snapping while rotating (to grid/guides/paths/nodes, not only constraint angles) still is missing to make Inkscape as powerful for technical drawings as it already is for artistic use.

This has been implemented as of today in the v0.49 development branch. Please test and report your experiences!

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Many many thanks for implementing this feature! :)

'z' segments (e.g. left vertical edge of rectangles) are ignored when snapping nodes to paths (related: bug #590486).
Tested with Inkscape trunk r9607 (default snapping preferences) on OS X 10.5.8.

Great! That was really missing. Thanks a lot!

Is there already a modifier (that I couldn't find) to temporary disable it or should we start thinking about a new one? :(

Good point, I hadn't noticed that yet. See my comment on another bug though:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/538487/comments/7

"This is not easily solved, because there are simply too little key
modifiers available. Many tools defined their own modifiers for various
reasons. The only way to try to resolve this situation is to make an
overview of all tools and all modifiers, propose new priorities, and
discuss this on the mailing list."

We need someone to volunteer here :-(

Yeah, I know. The only good thing about this bug is that it itches, so
probably I will feel an urge to scratch someday ;-)

But it is a tricky one to solve, exactly as you noticed in your comment
in that bug report.

Snapping to 'z' segments as described in comment #7 works with Inkscape 0.47+devel r9788 on OS X 10.5.8:
-> fixed in r9788 for bug #615541

@Diederik - many thanks! :)
