I agree. See all the technic parts that are connected with pins.
I think i have not explained myself very clearly. I have tried to be more clearly with some pictures.
Heve a look on the page http://marc.klein.free.fr/rotation.html
I also describe on that page another idea for automatic placement of parts using rotation center directive.
I hope it is clear enough.
