how to block the rotation of an atom along any of the axes?
for example, I need the atom to rotate only along the x-axis.
I need to make a propeller, I turn off the rotation lock, and push it with my hand and it starts to rotate in all directions, both along the x-axis and along the y-axis, etc. I want it to rotate only on the x-axis.
 
There are "lock" checkboxes in the Move tab of most atoms
 
Yeah... the locks works only on the controllers. Not on the actual rigid body. I think what you asking is not possibile atm. If your atom is some sort of "disc" you can try to add invisible cubes on the sides (for collision) but... i think that such scenario is a pain for physics computing. So... be carefull.
