Custom Smart Guide Snaps??

[fizzak]

In 10

Under Preferences>Smart Guides and Slices>Angles.
I never could get the custom angles to snap to other than 90° and 45°.
Anyone know how to do this?

Using the Rotate Tool that is...

Edit>Preferences>Smart Guides and Slices:

Also, if you want to slant the constrian angle of the whole document (to tilt the horizon), you can set this under the General tab.

Thanks for the pic but I know about that panel. But my settings never take effect on the artboard. Always 90° and 45°.
If I turn on smart guides, It will show the new angles set only if I move a point around but never if I want to constrain-rotate. Doesn't make sense. I there some key I should be holding other than shift?
Does the same thing in my CS2 install as well.

Fizz:

I see, you really need specifically to constrain, not just a text label hint or smart guide or snap-to function. OK. I don't think there's a direct way to do this, but why not write some actions for repeatedly used increments, name them appropriately and run the actions to rotate stuff.

The other way is Object>Rotate>Ok> CRTL-DDDDDD.

So what does the Angles panel do anyway?
