It should not take hours to figure out how to rotate text 45 degrees :(

Even chatgtp can't figure it out.  I can't even do it in the legacy tool.  Why is everything stuck at 90???? Another super simple thing that would be solved in two seconds in any other tool.

    Yeah, that works on a couple of things like a part that's placed, but not on a trace segment and random other things.  Not like the Legacy tool that you can rotate anything.

    Thanks everyone :)  Just another cranky morning for me ;)  I think what's really frustrating is that ChatGPT keeps on sending me into rabbit holes with Allegro features that are not in Orcad since they're basically the same tool.

    True. This will only work on components. About ChatGPT, just be careful with the AI hallucinations. I'd recommend you use the support.cadence.com portal instead. It has an AI agent integrated.
