Rotate PCB Layout

PCBWiz over 3 years ago

Hello,

Orcad provides a flip layout feature in Display->Flip Design.

The flips from left to right or the other way around. So the flipping is done about the vertical axis.

Is there a top bottom flip too? I.e, can I flip around horizontal axis?

Where can I find it?

Thanks.

what i usually do is to flip objects on the y axis and then to rotate them 180 degrees.

let us say we have the following objects.

1. select them and copy them with snap pick to segment vertex

2. on the right mouse button, click "mirror geometry"

3 on the right mouse button, click "rotate"

4. u can rotate the objects by moving the mouse

5, once u rotate them 180 degrees, u paste them.

6. u need to make sure that the rotation angle is set to whatever u desire. in my case i set 45 degrees

Just to be clear, you are not literally flipping the design. You are simply changing how you are viewing it. This has no bearing on the design output.
