Is it possible to rotate an item and then move it while it's still in that position? I've been trying for hours to tilt a light fixture a certain way and then move it for it to only reset and then I have to rotate it again when it's already in position. For example: I place tree and then I get a colored event light to tilt up to give a lighting effect on the tree but I can't move the light around once it's tilted upwards to see my desired effect.
Rotate items and then move them?

NOTE: This only works for non-gridded objects. If it's on the grid, you can't rotate it except to spin it in the horizontal plane. But if you've got only non-gridded parts, then Advanced Move is your friend.
1st place the object anywhere in the general vicinity of where you want it. With it still selected, hit X. This brings up 3 arrows you can pull on to move the object in 1 direction at a time. Hit X a 2nd time and the arrows are replaced with circles, allowing rotation on each axis individually. When the object is where you want it, you then have to hit the check mark in the center of the Advanced Move interface, which is located in the air above and to the right of the object you're moving. If you're zoomed way in, you might have to zoom out some to see this interface.

Thank you very much
