Allow Editing of Grounded Part Orientation

Allow Editing of Grounded Part Orientation

I often find that I want to change the orientation of a ground part with respect to the assembly origin.  If I right click on the part and go to iProperties/Occurrence tab I can adjust the X, Y and Z offset.  However, the X, Y and Z angle is grayed out and cannot be edited.  In order to change the orientation I must unground the part use mates or rotate and reground.

I would like to be able to edit the X, Y and Z angle in the iProperties/Occurence tab of a grounded part.

The reason they are grayed out is because they are intrinsic cardan Euler angles I guess. So their order is significant and therefore the results can be surprising for some people.

But the same problem exists with UCS parameters and they are free to edit. So please free the angles on the iProperties Occurrence tab also.

BTW: The rotational direction of UCS angles is wrong IMHO.
