Re: RE : Re: 45 degrees component placing on board

bonjour Jean-Pierre,

yes, I mean the footprints.
I want to place the micro-controler on my board like the following
drawing shows :

+--------------------------------------------+
| |

| +--+ /\ |
| | | / \ |
| | | / \ |
| +--+ \ / |
| \ / |
| \/ |

+--------------------------------------------+

does that mean I can modify the code that makes the rotation increment
to be 45 degrees instead of 90 and then it will work automagically?

thanks by advance.



No code to change:
- Open the footprint dialog edit (double click on the footprint)
- Select the orient "User". the Orient dialog line will be activated.
- enter the orient in 0.1 degree (i.e. 450 or -450 or 1350 or -1350)
- the footprint will be rotated like your drawing.
