You can rotate PCB footprints using the `Rotation` footprint attribute: ![enter image description here][1] Rotation of schematic symbols by other than 90 degree steps is not supported. Please note that rotation in EasyEDA is by Degrees not Gradians (grads). [1]: /editor/20170309/58c044d55a1b1.png

Thank You very much

Thanks, very useful explanation

Picking this back up. I have found multiple variations of the question (related to footprints, schematic components, grouped components etc.) one that has not been brought up (that I can see) is how you rotate a shape (for instance rectangle) by a specific angle. Example use case: Rectangle on top silkscreen, 3.4x6.6mm which outlines the location of a strain gauge to be bonded on. I would like to rotate the shape by 45degrees to indicate the position to bond the gauge onto. Is this possible? I have only been able to rotate pads or components by specific angles, not shapes.

@lewisjrichardson, If the shape is to indicate the orientation of a part that is fitted to the PCB then that shape should be part of the component footprint: which would then be rotatable.
