Rotate Parameter

Hi,

 

I am creating a block where I would like to have a rotate parameter rotate relative to zero degrees even if the entire block itself is rotated, is there a way to achieve this?

 

Example below, the first image has the block placed at zero degrees with the white box rotated dynamically to 33.2 deg. from the red line.

The second image has the entire block rotated but as you can see, when the white box is rotated dynamically it is relative to the red line, what I want is for it to always be relative to zero degrees indicated by the yellow line.

If someone uses the ROTATE command on a block, the entire block rotates.  There is not any way for components internal to the block to compensate for that rotation.  If you want to avoid that situation, then add a second rotate parameter and action for rotating all of the other block components and punish anyone who uses the ROTATE command on the block instead of rotating the individual components using the two rotate grips.
