    No but you can draw your own that is rotated like you want and add it to your Library for this and future use.
    If it is listed in "CAD Block Management" you can "insert" the block into your plan view, rotate it and then save to your Library but that only works for CAD blocks, otherwise what I first said works every time.

    This is what David was talking about.
    It places the 2D cad of the molding profile in plan.
    Rotate it and use the add to library tool..

    I wanted to see how it worked rotating a handrail..
