Hi Group, can someone help me, does the ArcDroid’s user interface have the ability to rotate pieces to minimize waste. I understand we can change the origin but can we rotate the object?  
Thanks

@Woody1959

Yerp no problem. load ofr trace your file then go to Trace-\>Transform (1st blue button)-\> Choose A (for angle) and type in the rotation you want. You can even rotate the knob to scroll it around

Cheers
