[Bf-committers] Feature Request: predefined rotation values in spin tool

[Jakub Strykowski]

Checked the ui demo and looks nice, however i think it would be better without add and substract buttons - simple and easy to understand. 4 preseted angles plus CW/CWW checkbox

It can be probaly hard to do.
