Object manipulation - absolute rotation

[mlisner]

It would be useful to have an option also for absolute rotation, not only relative when I select some object. If there is also absolute rotation, I colud then see the angle, which I rotated the object and make an adjustment to rotate it differently and still see the final angle in some axis compared to the orogonal position.

Something like this:

The trouble is, absolute rotation could only be described by Euler angles, where the rotation around X, Y and Z is applied in certain order, thus one rotation likely changes the orientation of the other axis, which is difficult to grasp. You may try the rotation using Euler angles in Blender to appreciate it.

OP's description of rotation was how it worked prior to 2.6. Not sure why it was taken away. Prior to 2.6 you would set the drop down to "Local Coordinates" and when you rotate an object by say 40º the Z-Rotate field would always show 40º. And you could type in a new rotation like 45º and the object would be rotated 45º from the build plate. Would like to see this functionality restored in some form.
