Degrees of rotation

[donone]

I don't know about any other make of track but Peco uses angles of 11.25, 22.5 and 45 degrees. If one mixes flex track and settrack it is at present not possible to set the angle to other than whole degrees which makes it difficult to match the two.
Would it be possible to permit smaller rotations to enable the two to match?

In the current version, the rotate tool won't let you do that.

If you simply snap track together, the track will automatically be placed under the correct angle.

Another way to position track precisely is by double clicking an endpoint, and fill in the angle manually.

Thank you, the double click does indeed permit fractional degree settings which is what I required. It is not always desirable to auto snap track, so this solved it.
I think it is time to pay.

You method of double clicking permits the entry of fractional angles and is fine... for the track.
I now have several tracks at say 22.5 degrees (the fraction is dictated by Peco) and I draw a rectangle for platform.
There is no way to set the correct angle of the rectangle, it must be 22 or 23 degrees which by the time the other end of the platform is reached, the lines touch.

Is there a chance of having the rotate use fractions of a degree to two places as with the double click please?

In the next version, decimal fractions can be entered in the rotate dialog.

From version 3.17.0, angles with decimal fractions can be entered in the rotation dialog edit box.

Have now downloaded 3.17 and thank you for the inclusions, excellent news and very useful.
