PCB layout & component rotation

2010-03-26 by James

I've been trying out different schematic/layout packages, usually finding some major gripe that makes me look elsewhere. Something I ran into recently is that I wanted to rotate some components arbitrarily, but I've not found a way to do this in any of the software I've tried, they all seem to insist on rotating by increments of 90 degrees. Does anyone have recommendations for something with this ability? I can create custom components that are already rotated but this seems like a silly extra step. Perhaps I'm overlooking something obvious?
