Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] PCB layout & component rotation

2010-03-26 by Henrik Olsson

Hi,
As have been said, no problems with Eagle.
If the desired angle isn't in the drop-list simply put the cursor in the box
and type in the angle - done.

So apparently it's possible to do in Pulsonix, Altium, Eagle, Kicad and
Target3001 - which ones have you tried ;-)

/Henrik.

-----Original message-----
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?
