So there's no documented way to move in X and Y, and I haven't found any key
that does it, either.

Hey no fair – you guys get a documentation folder?!? There’s no such thing in the Mac version.

Well, the mouse does a decent job of that. What I’m more concerned about is: how do I rotate a brick in anything other than 90-degree increments?

Best,
Joe

I’ve already sent in a request for a Mac readme/helpfile thru a LEGO Ambassador buddy :)

Turn off automatic brick binding (the lock icon) and you willbe able to rotate in finer steps.
