Currently objects rotate in a counter-clockwise (CCW) direction, consistent with other vector programs. However, it is most inconvenient when one is trying to plot survey data in maps. Compass bearings are measured clockwise from north and to lay out a bearing of say 25 degrees using Inkscape you currently have to rotate your bearing by -25 degrees. Repeat this for every bearing and you have a situation very prone to error.
Inkscape is a already a wonderful tool for mapping so could we have the option of clockwise as well as counterclockwise rotation please?
