First of all, I'm using Carrara 5.1 Pro. So if it doesn't have this feature, may as well leave it at that... (Or you could explain it anyways, but I won't be able to use it.)
Is there a way to visually align a constraint with something? I have an aircraft model where the control surfaces do not rotate exactly about the X or Y axes, but on an axes that are an angle to those. I know that axis constraints for a mesh can have the X, Y, and Z angle number fields entered, but doing it that way is too tedious and lacks the precision I need. Trying to grab any handles that I know of rotates the object, rather than the constraint itself.
Or am I missing something obvious / doing it wrong?

Also feel free to browse my freebies at ShareCG.
There might be something worth downloading.
