How to specify angle of linear pattern?

I know how to do linear patterns in my sketches, so long as i want the pattern to go left to right or up and down. How do i specify that I want things repeated along a specific angle? I can’t rotate the view to a specific angle so that left-right / up-down are at the angle i want. The best workaround I’ve come up with is to make the lines at the wrong angle, do a linear pattern, REMOVE the linear pattern constraint, but leave the products of its action, and then rotate them all as a group to t…
