I don't normally have to align my stuff, but when I do...

[beomagi]

Is there a way to get stuff straight/orthogonal relative to the VAB instead of the part it's connecting to?

That 'Local' text there under the widgets, click on it to change to absolute, and make sure angle snap is turned on too.

Switch to 'Absolute' mode when rotating (as opposed to 'Local'), and if you have angled-snap turned on, it should snap it to 15° increments. I haven't been in the Stock VAB in a while (I use Editor Extensions Redux), so it may be the mod that snaps it that way if this doesn't work for you.

hit f to toggle local/ absolute mode.

 

Would also suggest getting EEX
