Drawing rotated fills was basically a mistake. Further, it is not easy. Protel draws tight fills, i.e., the draws exactly abut their neighbors. When you rotate a fill, however, the line endpoints typically become irrational numbers, so there is going to be roundoff error, plus there is the photoplot rounding. To compensate for this, it would be necessary to plot oversize by the appropriate amount, and to correct the fill outline accordingly. *Much* easer to define the macro and specify the rotation, clean and simple. At least I think it is, I haven't tried it. I will.
