In Workspace, the grid snapping tools have no effect on the Axis Tool, making it difficult to, say, rotate the Axis by a consistent amount.

Yes, I've found the best way for me to perform precise manipulations of the axis (or pivot) is to enter values for location & rotation in the appropriate fields on the panel stack. For example, the object can be made to rotate, say, 60 degrees around the Z-axis by clicking in the Z-axis Rotation field, going to the end of whatever value text is currently there, and typing "+60" then pressing <Enter>. Definitely not as convenient or flexible as having grid snap work for the axes, but it's better than nothing. :)

Well aren't I the lucky one.
Transient, are you running Vista as well?
I'm using XP and it's definitely not working.

No I'm on xp. I think we need some more people testing it, this could be one of those weird ones.
