Picking up objects and placing at angles

[Linksfire1]

So I know that you can build objects at an angle by holding shift. What I'm trying to figure out now is, if you lift the object, how do you place it back on an angle?
I've sporadically seen my boat try to outline itself on the ground and its handy, I just want to know how to replicate it.
Similarly, I've built display signs at an angle but after picking them up, I cant place them on the ground at an angle.

if you are using amber you can right click on the object you are holding and then hold shift+wheel to rotate it on the grid and pressing ctrl+shift+wheel will rotate it off the grid

You can do this regardless of whether you are using a custom client or not.

Well that worked wonderfully. Thanks guys. It bothered me not having things snap to the grid.
