@colin, @Mark, when changing a rotated group to a component with right click > ‘Make Component’ the conversion does not respect the group’s axes. The component gets axes according to the current drawing axes.
This is not as expected / as should, and unlike how it used to be in previous versions.
@marwanobeidat, different results when applying the same tool or instruction would be inconsistent between different versions of SketchUp. Also it used to work the same way in previous updates of the free version. (I can’t think of any reason other than this being a little bug)
