Hi Bjorn,

You can rotate your map in the composer only. First, add a map to your layout. After selecting it you can edit the rotation value in the tab "Item properties".

I don't know when this feature was added, but it has been in QGIS master for a while.

Good luck!
Raymond

Hej,
I am slowly trying to move away from arcgis to open source software like grass and qgis but there is one feature that I really like in arcgis that I cant seem to find in QGIS in my transition. Simply enough, i'd like to rotate all layers in the current rendered window to say 90degrees relative to north as I map a feature (note I am not talking about rotating the final map output as suggested here http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/54060/can-qgis-1-8-0-mac-rotate-the-entire-view-of-a-project).//I use this feature quiet a lot in arcgis (data frame properties -- general -- rotation) to map especially elongated feature at a resolution that otherwise won't fit on my screen and I assume that there must be something equivalent in qgis that I have simply not noticed.

Cheers,
Bjorn
