You are right about the rotation point.  It should lie on a major axis, to
simplify rotating.

However, I believe most window panes have been created in their 'default'
orientation, not laying on their side.  If you rotate this part 90-degrees
around X, then 90-degrees around Y (and then maybe fix the position--I
haven't checked), the part will be ready for rotating, then moving into
position in the frame.

What about the a key?  Shouldn't that be considered when creating new parts
that rotate?

[followups set to lugnet.cad.dev - let's reign in this multi-ng discussion] (...) See my other post. The A key is very nice, it saves 5 keystrokes. But it isn't a reason to create a part in a bizarre orientation. Steve (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)
