Hi Bjorn,<br>
<br>
You can rotate your map in the composer only. First, add a map to
your layout. After selecting it you can edit the rotation value in
the tab "Item properties".<br>
<br>
I don't know when this feature was added, but it has been in QGIS
master for a while.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

Hej,<br>
I am slowly trying to move away from arcgis to open source
software like grass and qgis but there is one feature that I
really like in arcgis that I cant seem to find in QGIS in my
transition. Simply enough, i'd like to rotate all layers in the
current rendered window to say 90degrees relative to north as I
map a feature (note I am not talking about rotating the final map
output as suggested here

</i>I use this feature quiet a lot in arcgis (data frame
properties -- general -- rotation) to map especially elongated
feature at a resolution that otherwise won't fit on my screen and
I assume that there must be something equivalent in qgis that I
have simply not noticed.<br>
