Hi,

When CW/CCW rotation was added in GAL (7045ed92f), the tool actions
didn't correct for the internal represention of angles, so CW/CCW were
reversed. This patch fixes that. I failed to notice the comment "//
TODO rotate CCW" was wrong. On the other hand, it seems only one
person actually noticed since Feb 4th :-p, including myself.

Now, eeschema standard rotate (R) is CW, but legacy Pcbnew "Rotate+"
(also R) is CCW.

I have not changed the hotkey assignment for the GAL actions, so it
now matches eeschema, not legacy mode. I think that CW-default is the
better default?

Cheers,

John

Subject: [PATCH] Pcbnew: correct CW/CCW rotation.

These were backwards since internal angles are CCW due to the inverted Y
axis.

The hotkeys have NOT changed. This means 'R' is now clockwise and
'Shift+R' is anti-clockwise. This is the same as EEschema, but not the
same as Legacy mode.
