    In AI, not without the recipient doing a little work and math that I know of.

    Have them draw a guide (X or Y) and drag it to the the square's center point. Be sure to not have the guide locked. Rotate the guide until it intersects/snaps to corner.

    Calculate the difference between the amount of rotation of the guide and 45 degrees. Confirm the math with a similar/identical shape.

    Or... replicate the exercise in Photoshop as a smart object so PS maintains your rotation info. The recipient could open the vector smart object from PS into AI and apply the rotation noted in PS.
