free rotation issues

if you select a group of parts in fritzing (pcb view), you can move them around as a group but if you try to rotate them free, only one part is rotated.

Changing the angle of a part in the xml file is really hard, because you use a transformation matrix.

If you rotate a part free, it snaps to the main angles. That is fine, but if you need an angle near the main angle, you can not reach it. Better would be if the part rotates free and snaps to angles by pressing shift or some other key.

for the third point, instead of using a control key, use the velocity--faster rotation snaps, slow rotation doesn't

trying to rotate at exactly 30 degrees is difficult. Either add another detente or consider making a display for the current angle.
