Allegro PCB Component/part rotation

Arsalan1001
Arsalan1001 over 2 years ago

Hi All, 
Is there any way to rotate components in Allegro PCB to some specific odd angle like -69.5? 

I have PCB in which components are already placed on odd angle and not on 45/90 degree and I need to move them to a very specific degree. 

My idea is to rotate them first to zero degree and then to the desired rotation but through move -> rotate or spin command I struggle to rotate them to zero degree and then to desired angle.

Is there any easy way to set PCB component rotation angle?

Thank you in advance for your help.

    When in the Rotate / Spin command, use Options and set Type to Absolute, rather than Incremental, set Angle to the required value (type in the number of degrees), then select the Symbol in the canvas and the rotation will be set to the angle specified. (Check that the Symbol isn't fixed)
