Rotate Assembly REF DES Function

DBTCH

Hi ,

Is there a function to rotate at an absolute angle in one time ?

Actually i used a macro to do this but i need to give the drag_start and drag_stop coordinate , i can't select all with macro .

I just need to select all Top an Bottom refdes and assign a 45deg angle value , it seems easy but not for me -:( .

regards .

    I think what you want to achieve can be achieved using Label Tune utility that Allegro PCB Editor is having.

    Documentation (labeltune.pdf) is available “tool installation location\share\pcb\toolbox\help”

    But “Allegro Productivity Toolbox” option is required along with the license to use this feature.

    Just try the command Edit - Spin (or Edit - Rotate in OrCAD) then in the Find pane just enable Text, in the Options pane make sure the Point is set to Symbol Origin then draw a window around all the text, pick an origin point and mve your cursor. The text will spin around their own symbol origins in the angle you have set in the Options Pane

    Thank you for your reply , but I would integrate this function in an automated process .

    So I think that the only way to do this is by skill .
