    I want to rotate a dynamic component about a components own axis which the Z is sloping compared to the main Z axis. When I try this (RotZ etc), the component rotates about the components Z axis point, but rotates about the main Z axis. What am I doing wrong?

      open the component, select the raw geometry and make another component, set its axis in the direction you require, close
      the nested component that holds the geometry is the one you will rotate. If you want to rotate in another direction as well, then you would nest it again so that the rotations are independent
