I
think the 'rotation snaps every' setting cannot accept arbitrary values. They
have to be integer divisions of 360 degrees:
360 / 2 = 180 deg
360 / 3 = 120 deg
360 / 4 = 90 deg
360 / 5 = 72 deg
360 / 6 = 60 deg
etc.
25 degrees is not possible, because if you go in steps
of 25 around a circle, after one round you won't end up where you
started:
0
25
50
...
350
375 = 15
40
65
...
Inkscape would snap to lots of angles this
way.
Have you seen Inkscape's axonometric grid? Maybe
that can help you out a bit.

I do have some questions concerning technical
linedrawings with inkscape:
1. I
take a screenshot of 3D-CAD a model that is rotated in a standard axonometric
view. For example an isometric projection 30°-30°.
2. I import the screenshot into inkscape.
3. In "inkscape preferences" dialog in option
"steps" Is set "rotation snaps every" to 30°.
4. By holding down "Strg" I can easily trace the screenshot.
However when I have the 3D-CAD model
rotated to some other axonometric view, for example 25-25°. This
helpful technique is no more possible, since
I can only choose from a list of predifined values in "rotation snaps
every".
I´d like to put in any kind of
value.
Should this be on the
wishlist?
Another question:
I want to move an object along a defined
axis.
When I hold down "strg" I can
move a selected object along the vertical and horizontal axis.
Are there ways and techniques in inkscape to
do that kind of thing along any kind of axis.
Thanks for your help
