In LEdit, you can use the menu sequence { / -> (T)urn -> (C)enter } to move
the center of rotation over to the centerpoint of the current piece. Any
piece you rotate will then turn around that centerpoint.
I use the fake part line as a weak placeholder (1) for that center of
rotation. Crosshairs appear over the fake part if that part is in focus. I
can navigate the fake part around to where I want to locate the center of
rotation, at which point I use the /->T->C sequence to anchor the new
rotational center.

The relationship betweeb LDraw/LEdit and POV-Ray is one-way. Once you make
rotational changes to your DAT in LEdit, you can generate a new POV file with
the new rotations from the DAT.

1. It's important to note that the relationship between my fake part line and
the center of rotation is weak. IOW, if I move the rotational center without
moving the fake part to the same coordinates, the relationship is broken.
