Also very neat - I'm liking it :-)

I think I had to be told about it though.  IMHO it would be intuitive to trat 
this like snap to grid and have it switched on and off like all the other snap 
modes.

One way to handle different step sizes is to link them to the current zoom 
level.  A zoomed out view gets 45 degree steps only; zoomed in 15; really 
zoomed in might get 5.  Except that by zoom I really mean the size of the 
object relative to the current view-port.  As you note this requires some 
knowledge of the view which might be difficult to get?
