Something I ran into recently is that I wanted to rotate some components arbitrarily, but I've not found a way to do this in any of the software I've tried, they all seem to insist on rotating by increments of 90 degrees. Does anyone have recommendations for something with this ability? I can create custom components that are already rotated but this seems like a silly extra step. Perhaps I'm overlooking something obvious?

It's very easy with Pulsonix: one just selects the part and then a right 
click on the mouse gives a menu that allows rotation by multiples of 90 
degrees, or a preset angle (I leave it set to 45 degrees). Something 
weird like 33.72 degrees can even be used. The preset angle is changed 
in Tools > Options > Interaction. It only takes a couple of mouse clicks 
to get there.
