What is the best way to rotate a component in LTSpice?

The only way I know how to do it is to select it with the drag tool then use the rotate button on the command bar. But then the damn component gets dragged all the way up to the top of the screen. Is there a better way?

And can it be rotated at angles other than 45 degree increments?

 

Ctlt-R when selected.

Edit: and Ctrl-E to mirror.

Can you expand on that please?

Still the only way I know to select the component is with drag. And it still is dragging the component to the top of the screen.

What do you mean Edit? Edit menu?

What does Control R supposed to do?

 

OK I think I see now. But can I rotate at something less than 45 degree?

 

It only rotates by 90, as far as I know.

Meant other than 90. Brainin not working. Would be nice to rotate at 45 degrees. After all these yeas the GUI of LTspice still sucks.

 

There is a way to stop that screen from slewing around when you try to go up to the toolbar to click. Forgot how... Need someone to remind me...

 

How often do you really need to put a component at a 45° angle?
The only common example I can think of is a bridge.

Go to Control Panel > Drafting Options > turn off scroll(uncheck box)
