Most if not all packages I have seen can do free angle rotation.
Sometimes it is a separate command from the regular 90 degree rotate,
because that is needed more often.
Target 3001 and even the rotten Eagle will do that.

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?
