Each hotlinked module has its own project origin. When a module is placed, its rotation and position can differ (greatly) from original module's origin. There should be a checkbox inside hotlink's properties that would force different elements of the module to still be oriented to the hotlink's origin, such as cover fills, but probably other elements of a model and drawing could benefit from this.
For example, if you have a module that is drawn in an orthogonal system with everything aligned to its origin, when you insert such a module in a new file and rotate it, its cover fills do not follow rotation and stay orthogonal. not only them, but also cut fills.
This behaviour should be optional for each module - sometimes it is feasible to modify fill's origin and rotation for the elements in a module to be custom, but often times it is not, and for some elements it is impossible because of other implications, such as fill orientations in section (if you define a fill in a building material as adhering to the element, and not project origin.)
Thank you!
