How to rotate a complete pcb

currentsource

dear all,

because i have found nothing about my search in the community i'll ask now:

How to rotate a complete pcb ?

I use a mechanical drawing (imported dxf) in Orcad pcb-designer in some additional layers as like an overlay. Than I have create a pcb as usual.

Now it will be fine to rotate 180 DEG and move the complete finished pcb in my design.

I have try spin, but these does not work, it leaves parts and some other elements on the old place.

Is there a method by filtering only "pcb-elements" and rotate them all?

Thanks all!

     Hi,

     Select "Move" command, then set "user pick" in Options window, select the elements which you want to move, rotate it and place wherever you wanted.

    HTH
