Rotation around Z axis from front

Question

Hi! I can't get any bar fixture to rotate around the Z-axis when in front-view in Augment3d - is this expected behaviour? Have searched the forum to no avail. 
 I'm using a Chauvet Epix Bar Tour fixture, but have tried on a number of different bar fixtures and can't get any of them to rotate correctly. All just rotate around the Y-axis, but the other way. 
 What I'm trying to do is take a bar fixture, point it at directly at the audience, and rotate it 45deg to the stage floor. Like this / 
 Am I missing something? Thanks!

Hard to tell from the screenshot, but perhaps! I did just manage to achieve what I was looking for with X 45 Y -90 Z -90, so perhaps its my misunderstanding/misreading of how the axes are positioned. Thanks for the link!

Do you mean like this? This is -90 in the X, and -45 in the Z.
