Describe the solution you'd like

Allow precise placement of individual connectors when splitting parts, by allowing manual inputting of coordinates and/or mirroring of connectors. This would help immensely with planning out parts where symmetry is important, and also provide peace of mind for people like myself who would get fussy about off-centered connectors (even though they would be hidden).

When selecting individual connectors (highlighted yellow), have a X/Y coordinate input in the connectors menu.
When selecting a connector, provide an option to mirror it across a given axis and outline the mirrored connector using dotted lines. Preferably there would be options for what axis (X/Y/Z) to mirror a connector on, along with what angle (0-359 degrees). If convenient, also faintly display the plane of mirroring in orange or another easily visible color.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Image showing me attempting to mirror on a sample part (which I won't actually print) - there is no precise input which makes planning connectors frustrating.
