I find that when I rotate an object with the select tool, I can have the object snap to paths or guides, but not specific nodes. Does anyone else find this frustrating?
In my experience Inkscape tries to snap every node but not necessarily the one I want. Precise alignment of complex shapes is difficult. In these situations I will draw one or more temporary construction lines extending beyond my shape to get the right snap location and snap angle.
Yeah, I found that using a guide sometimes helps, but I really wish Inkscape allowed objects to snap to nodes when being rotated. Another feature request, possibly?
