It would be useful to be able to rotate the global design space angle, allowing sub-groups of components to be routed while placed on an odd PCB.
For example: a group of components are rotated at 30 degrees, but all at 90/45 degrees to eachother. If one could rotate the design space (makes no changes on the design data) to 30 degrees, the pad entry cleanliness / alignment grid / line lock features could be used for the odd angle subgroup. This would be in place of routing the subgroup before rotating and placing into the PCB space alotted for the group.
This is also a problem when drawing dynamic shapes around pads when components are at odd angles, if one could rotate the design space to 30 degrees, the standard 45 degree line lock could be used while the design is rotated.
The feature would be adjacent to the 'move origin' area within the Design/Command Parameters menu, and would not change the design in any way (similar to moving the origin around).
EDIT: my assumption is that this feature does no exist (if it does, please, where?)
