Hi. I'm an occasional visitor to this site; pardon me if this question has been addressed elsewhere. I can't find it. I've just started to figure out how to use the keyboard entry method of positioning a part as well as how to set a custom rotation point. (It took me a while to figure out that the Rotation Point tool is universal and not specific to the part! Oh well. I can deal with that.   )

There seem to be three preset grid settings. I might have the angles wrong but let's say they correspond to 90, 45, and 30 degrees. Is there a way to rotate a part to any angle I choose?

First of all you should let as know which editor you're talking about: LDCad, LeoCAD, MLCad ...

Sorry - I thought that's what the MLCAD tag at the start of the post was for.
