Make Grid Tool Enhancement

An ability to modify the angle of the grids created. Degree Angle input would be real simple to use and would allow for creating more appropriate grids without making really small grids and re-merging them for similar result.  North South & East West grids are nice, however ability to change to NW by SE would be real nice.

I had the same need so I created a Macro that takes any angle and grid size as input parameters.  Unfortunately, this web interface didn't let me attach it here but this is how it looks:
