Set facing direction using commands?
Is there a way to set the direction you face when you set a new spawn or teleport to a new location?
For example, if I create a notice board in the spawn location facing north, and every one keeps spawning facing east, there's a possibility they may not see the board.
Or if I teleport to a new location, I might always end up facing a wall(east), when I want to spawn in the new location facing down a corridor(north).
So can I set the direction a player faces when they spawn or teleport?

Use /execute in <dimension> run tp <selector> <x> <y> <z> <rx> <ry>. PS: <rx> is your vertical rotation, <ry> is your horizontal rotation. Also, if you want to do this faster, doing F3+C will copy your exact location into a command that will teleport to where you did F3+C.

Answer 2
If you do /tp [Player] [x] [y] [z]
Lets talk about a circle...
A circle has 360 degrees.
/tp [Player] [x] [y] [z] [x-rot] [y-rot]
x is vertical, y is horizontal.
Hope I helped!

Im not completely sure what you want, but I think this is the answer.
After pressing F3, look at "facing" and at the end of this line, there should be a few numbers, like 89.0 -5.6 or 7.9 40.1, look at the direction you want the player to look at, and copy those numbers, and put them at the end of your tp command.
Example: /tp @p ~ ~ ~ 6.7 7.9
Answer 4
If you are looking to make a block face another direction(ex; button, log, sign) you can use the /setblock command. Here's an example /setblock minecraft:button[facing=north] you can replace north with any answer you want. If you want it to face up or down you can use /setblock minecraft:button[face=ceiling] or /setblock minecraft:button[face=floor] prospectively.
Answer 5
This mod may be the answer for 1.7. It says in the description that you can place a spawn, then when you spawn back to it, it will face you in the same direction you were facing when you made the spawn.
