steps and figure out all the rotation steps to get the views I want, but

just print (create a bitmap of) what I see on the screen.

Since MLCad now implements the ability to rotate the oblique view to whatever
viewing angle you want, how about a command that just takes the current
oblique view and gives you an absolute rotation step to that rotation and
origin value, inserting it at the insertion point defined by what step is
highlighted or in front if none are just like the regular P and P(rotated)
buttons do? THAT would be cool and might be easier to do and give you almost
all that you want.

(although the ability to move out parts and have them hang in space would also
be nice.. It might be in there already, I can't quite tell for sure!)
