I've draw some families with components set to a Reference Line.
Now I've decided that they would look better if some of those components were rotated 45 degrees.
Is there a way to spin a Reference Line? I don't mean rotate the length of the line.
I want to spin the RL along it's own axis so the planes two long planes end up at 45?
The Rotate tool doesn't see to affect the planes.

You can host it to another reference line drawn in plan and rotate the new one, if I am understanding your request.
Brilliant!
That's exactly what I needed. Works like a champ.
Thanks
you can easily "cheat" this by just putting even a detail line or any other line at 45 degrees in your main project and by pressing space bar your family will align to the detail/model line.
I like the idea of a second Reference Line better.
That allows me to rotate back to 0 degrees and modify the content in a "normal" elevation view (front, back, left, right) and then rotate back to the final orientation.
With things at funky angles, you have to create a bunch of Sections just to get a View at the correct angle.
Once you discover "Set Work Plane" and hosting to Reference Lines, it changes your family building experience forever!![]()
