Feature request: rotate by two lines

Hey,

Im a long term qcad user, I mainly use it for reprap related tasks (along with openscad).

I have one feature what I really miss from qcad:

Rotating is only possible in numeric numbers and not in reference by two lines. (like measuring angles).

So I always fear my rotating is not correct (as I can measure the degrees in degree unit, and not 0.1 degree unit).

Also the degree measurement tool should display at least 0.1 accuracy. (ex: 22.4 degrees)

Best,
 Laszlo

I am also needing this option as well. I am working on a project that will require exact rotation between to reference lines.

Have you tried modify->align?

Align moves and rotates using points as reference and if first base/target point is the same only rotate

I do not have the option align on my version of LibreCAD

If you do not have align you can not use (is a plugin), but wath is your system and LC version ?

It looks that to use plugins, one need to compile / build LibreCAD; which we can't expect from all user.

Can we make use of plugins in easy manner?
