Rotate along comand

    I am working with some assemblies, and I would really like a command
    that allows me to rotate a part along a edge, centerline, etc. and then
    specify the degrees of rotation. Seems simple, but it looks to me like
    Solidworks only has a drag rotate that you can't input the degrees. If
    you want to rotate on the x, y, or z axis you can do what i want, but I
    want to pick my own axis.

    Is there a way?

    Jim,
    Apply the any mate as you normally do but check the option box
    "Use for positioning only". This may give you the interaction you need.
