You can set the angle of Sch components to 0, 90, 180, 270 but this doesn't 
help.

I suspect you will need to create an LED Sch component at the angle you want.

Hello,

Create them  in a 45o position in the library so you can put them simply at
0, 90, 180 or 270 degree orientation on the schematic.
The pin endpoints should be on the grid.

 How do I put parts at 45o ? I am basically designing a moving message
 board, and want to place my LEDS at 45o to make it more readable for the
 matrix

I just built a new schematic part when I needed to do exactly this. 
Worked a treat.

You can't, in schematic. The difficulty is that the pins then fall off-grid 
and don't connect. However, you can readily define such a part in the library 
editor, making the graphics run at the angles you want. I've done bridge 
rectifiers that way; there, it makes sense to still have the pins sticking out 
orthogonally. For what you describe, those orthogonal pins may be a pain; you might 
try a zero-length pin to accomplish what you want.
