Hello Miro team,

When drawing a straight line with the Pen tool (P + Shift), the angle snaps to fixed increments. As a result, it is not possible to draw a line at a small angle, for example between 0° and about 10° relative to the horizontal or vertical axis. The same limitation applies when rotating elements: I cannot set a rotation within this small range.

This is about angular precision (small angles and rotation), not about snapping to objects.

I work with technical diagrams and schematics that require lines and objects to be placed at small, precisely controlled angles. I would like to request:

1. Shift-drawn lines at any angle within the 0°–10° range (for example, finer snapping steps such as 1°, or an option to disable angle snapping).
2. Rotation of any element or object within the same 0°–10° range, with the same precision (ideally also by typing an exact angle value).

If these options already exist, please let me know how to enable them.

I am using the Miro desktop app on Windows with an Education plan.

Thank you!
