I don't understand this. What if the user wants to rotate by
something which isn't a multiple of 90°? Say, 30°? If the rotation
point is off by one (or even a half) stud, it isn't going to work to
offset the part afterwards. Unless you offset it by 20*(cos 30°, sin
30°), or something to that effect, which is too much work, I'm sure.

I don't understand this either. Do you mean that you don't rotate by
the origin of the part? Parts which have an odd dimension normally
have the origin somewhere sane anyway. For example the "2540.DAT
Plate 1 x 2 with Handle" (just above 1½ stud wide?) has the origin
sanely put between the studs, and rotation by a multiple of 90° should
be no problem.
I'm sorry, I don't understand the rest of the post either. Perhaps
there was something in the beginning I misunderstood. I probably
shouldn't have replied at all... Sorry about that.
