Placing Resistors (or Caps etc) at 45 degrees

Hello

I'm trying to find a way to draw or place a resistor at 45 degrees such as the following:

45-degree rotation of components is not possible in the Schematic Editor of the current version of DipTrace (4.3.0.3).

Well that is something to add to the list of improvements.

The only way I have found to do it, is to specifically create a 45º component.
I now have RES45-300, RES45-0805, DIO45-DO35 and DIO45-SOD123 in my libraries
It's really about time that DipTrace added this feature - it already exists in the PCB module

IMHO this is a basic necessity and should be high on the list!
