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?

Kicad allows you set the angle to any arbitrary amount. You right-click on the component, choose Edit Component, and then change the Orientation to User, which lets you type in the angle you want.
