      Hi
      I would like to rotate the B line of my component in blue to be 100% straight with the A line
      I use the rotate tool but I dont know how to rotate it automaticly straight as the A line
      I must do it with my eyes and it's not 100% straight

        Use the Tape Measure Tool to create a guide line parallel to edge A through an end point of edge B then rotate edge B to the guide line.

        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

            This tool 😉

            Tape measure tool.jpg

            From a vertex it draw a an helper line + a cross point
            From a line it draw a parallel helper line

            And if you measure something and input your own measure it will resize all your objects!

            So put each object in group or component if you want just resize one object!

              The fastes way would be to use one of the standard inferences (On Edge, On Axis, Parallel to Edge, ...) while rotating:
