Rotate padstack in symbol view

Hello!

I'm trying to rotate a padstack in one of my symbols (opened .dra file in allegro 16.2). I want it 90 deg rotated. If I right-click, I find "move", I can pick options if I right click and pick "rotation angle" but it doesn't rotate. I I instead use "rotate" when right clicking, It rotates but I can't get a clean 90 deg rotation, it always seams a bit "tilted". If I pick "Edit->Spin gives me: "No valid items selected for the current operation, exiting.

Would be really nice if someone can answer...

Problem solved, I have a problem with the grid. Good to know for other people though as it is not really easy to find the rotate command as you need to pick move first.

This drove me crazy for some time. With nothing selected, click Edit->Spin first, then select the pad to rotate. (Edit->Spin, not Edit->Move)
