ROTATE


Function
Rotates objects and elements.

Syntax
ROTATE *..

Mouse
Right button rotates previously selected group.

See also ADD, MIRROR, MOVE, GROUP

The ROTATE command is used to change the direction of objects in steps of 90 degrees.

Packages

When rotating a package, wires (tracks) connected to the element are moved at the connection points (beware of short circuits!).

Packages can only be rotated if the appropriate tOrigins/bOrigins layer is visible.

Objects

Wires, circles, pads, rectangles, polygons, and labels cannot be rotated individually unless defined as a group.

Text

Text is always displayed so that it can be read from in front or from the right - even when rotated. Therefore after every two rotations it appears the same way, but the origin has moved from the lower left to the upper right corner. Remember this if a text appears to be unselectable!
