Rotate about Component axis?
-
Before I reinvent the wheel, is there a plugin that does this already? Let you rotate a component around its axes using the insertion point as pivot?

nearly. it doesn't use the insertionpoint as pivot.
One can change it, but getting the pivor is not always easy with some components. some times there is nothing to snap to. -
Did this idea ever bear fruit?

tt, I can think of two, the rotate component that TIG wrote, and mine. Don't know if TIGs can be easily used to rotate around the intersection point, but mine will rotate around the axis origin. If you elect to do one, make it point by any axis, mine is limited to pointing z, and requires something to point to. Another feature I thought of adding (probably beyond my skill set) is to incorporate moving the axis origin around the base of the component.
Addenda: Oops, just noticed that the original post was May 2010.
