    Hi

    You could also use the iangle command

     

    funckey r iangle 90 to rotate 90 degree each time you press r

    or if you need finer adjustments set the angle to something less or use uppercase R for another angle increment

    Best regards

    Ole

    Many thanks guys.  This makes life alot easier.
     
    The only outstanding problem I'm having these days is the comunications between Orcad Cpature and Layout. (V16.5)
     
    I would like to have better comunications between capture and layout. I'd like to be able to select a part in one and have it go to the location of the other so both footprint and schematic symbol are viewed (2 screens) at the same time.

    Anyone know how to make this work on Allegro 22? It is a fantastic component and silk screen align tool. I use it on my 16.5 but now moving to 22 and it does not load ):
