Hi Charles,

you can use line instead of rectangle and relative polar coordinates.

For the first rectangle rotated e.g. use:

li;-122.5,-50;@9<180+37;@4<270+37;@9<0+37;@4<90+37

If it is required that the rectangle is a single entity, you can use polyline:

pl;-122.5,-50;@9<180+37;@4<270+37;@9<0+37;close

I used e.g. <180+37 to make the origin direction and the rotation angle visible. LibreCAD does the math for you.

For reference see https://docs.librecad.org/en/latest/ref/fundamentals.html?#polar
