Community Forums: Rotating tokens by small increments.

I want to use some square and rectangular war gaming tokens and want to be able to rotate them by small increments, of 1 degree or more at a time. Depending on the rules set used. Is it possible to do this currently? Thanks, in advance.

Hold alt while rotating, you can rotate to any angle you wish.

Well I never, I have just been tinkering around and discovered that by holding down the Alt key, that I can do exactly what I asking about! Slightly red faced, but, may be it will help others :)

You can also do incremental rotations by using holding the "E" key and using the mousewheel. For fine increments hold the "E" key and then hold "ALT" while using the mousewheel. (It needs to be in the order of E, Alt, Mousewheel because alt+E is a command in many browsers.)

That's a helpful move, Gauss. I didn't know you can rotate tokens with "E" and the mouse wheel. That's going to be easier than grabbing the little rotate handle.

Can this work for aligning a token's light angle?
